20 years ago this week Stevie Ray Vaughan died in that horrible helicopter crash in Alpine Valley, WI. I was still pretty young when Elvis and John Lennon died, so this may have been the music icon whose death hit me the hardest.
In honor of SRV, I am listening to the newly-expanded 2-Disc Sony Legacy reissue of "Couldn't Stand the Weather," with 24 extra tracks, including a Montreal concert from 1984 on disc 2. (Why couldn't something this awesome be done with Rant-n-Rave? No, not the first two albums or Built for Speed - they'd just give us a combined album of commercially released stuff - I want singles, b-sides, 16 Candles, and live stuff!)
I expect to wade through Stevie Ray Vaughan's entire catalog throughout the week, marveling at the voice and the guitar while feeling a deep sadness remembering August 27, 1990.

yep I have been listening to my box set all week long....
1990 was a horrible year.. earlier that yr in april my wife lost her mom, baby brother, and step dad in a car crash (wrong way driver on the freeway asleep at the wheel) then her grandma died from the grief of her daughters death after the funeral. Then my sign company was robbed of all its machinery and my practice studio of all my bands equipment, no insurance of course.
I remember walking into the local auto parts store and they said SRV was gone, then they played little wing. THAT was the straw to break this camel's back...
Riviera Paradise means a lot to me.
ps. I bought a brand new tobacco sunburst strat that next january to ease the hardships and somehow felt bonded to that guitarist like I'm sure a thousand others did.. His death changed the industry and brought brand new attention to one of his idols Jimi Hendrix.

Wow, that's a hard ass year man! I was a casual fan back in the day, but I got in to his music a lot a few years ago. Great great guitarist.

"The Fabulous Carl Perkins" (Primo Records) incl. Million Dollar Quartet songs. Here's a tribute to Elvis, hence a different line up: Carl, Roy, Johnny and Jerry Lee.

Hacienda- Big Red & Barbacoa.
This has been my go-to album of the summer, and it's still going strong.
