“Performing Live " Voodoo Chile " When I hear the distinctive sound of SRV making a Fender Strat scream it gives me goose bumps ! This cat from Texas played with his heart on his sleeve , he played balls out , no fear , he pushed boundaries , he would bend a guitar string until it was about to snap ! What is sad is SRV kicked drugs , liquor and put out a Grammy winning LP " In Step " after the 12 step program of sobriety then he boarded that helicopter after a gig and God needed a cat that could only play like SRV ! Stephen "Stevie" Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 -- August 27, 1990) was an American guitarist, singer, songwriter and record producer. Often referred to by his initials SRV, Vaughan is best known as a founding member and leader of Double Trouble. With drummer Chris Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon, they ignited the blues revival of the 1980s. With a career spanning seven years, Vaughan and Double Trouble consistently sold out concerts while their albums frequently went gold.”
