Vaughan And Double Trouble, Stevie Ray ‎– The Sky Is Crying

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON EPIC 1991

Epic 468401 made in EU with lyric inner sleeve.

Vinyl VG+. Cover VG+.

Vaughan's death in August 1990 brought to a tragic end the surging wave of his popularity. The album he had made with his brother Jimmie, FAMILY STYLE, had just been released and this album, prepared by Jimmie from the various album sessions, was not expected to amount to much. In fact, this was at least as good as any of them--and better than LIVE ALIVE. "Little Wing" was perhaps his best adaptation of a Jimi Hendrix song. His take on the Elmore James title song was also a fitting tribute to both the writer and the performer. There are bound to be further compilations and live recordings released, but these studio recordings are testimony to Stevie Ray's devotion to his craft. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevie_Ray_Vaughan
