Texas Flood

Quite possibly the only electric blues/rock guitarist to come near rivalling Jimi Hendrix, Vaughan, who, like Hendrix, died tragically, was so good he was ridiculous. He was lacking in really good material, and his own compositions were mainly guitar workouts, such as "Rude Mood", although he shows great feeling on the instrumental "Lenny". He is much more comfortable singing non-originals, and on this album he covers Buddy Guy's "Mary Had A Little Lamb" and Howlin Wolf's "Tell Me", but the listener is still waiting for the bit where the guitar solo comes in. Poor Double Trouble barely get a look in.
