Video Pick Of The Week

Stevie Ray Vaughan was a rocking powerhouse of a guitarist who gave blues a burst of momentum in the ’80s, with influence still felt long after his tragic death. Vaughan emerged as one of the leading modern electric blues artists of his generation, helping to reignite interest in the genre from the ’80s onward. Vaughan drew equally from bluesmen like Albert King, Otis Rush and Muddy Waters and rock & roll players like Jimi Hendrix and Lonnie Mack as well as the stray jazz guitarist like Kenny Burrell developing a uniquely eclectic and fiery style that sounded like no other guitarist, regardless of genre. In celebration of Stevie’s 70th Birthday on Wednesday October 3rd I would like to highly recommend the absolutely outstanding 2014 documentary
Rise Of A Bluesman: Stevie Ray Vaughan 1954-1983 which reveals and dissects the formative years of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s career, his influences and recordings and traces the history of Texas blues itself, identifying Vaughan’s place within this larger tradition. Featuring rare archive footage, exclusive interviews and a host of other features which all at once provide the finest document on the celebrated guitarist yet to emerge
