Stevie Ray Vaughan almost single-handedly revived electric blues for the 1980s, playing with a ferocity and tone that made older forms feel urgent again. Raised in Dallas and forged in the Austin club scene, he led his trio Double Trouble to national attention after his searing guitar appeared on David Bowie's 1983 album 'Let's Dance'. His own debut that year, 'Texas Flood', announced a player steeped in Albert King, Freddie King and Jimi Hendrix but wholly his own, with a thick, overdriven Stratocaster tone and staggering command of dynamics. Albums 'Couldn't Stand the Weather' and 'In Step' produced 'Pride and Joy', 'Cold Shot', 'Crossfire' and a fiery reading of Hendrix's 'Voodoo Child'. He played with muscular swing, bending strings hard while keeping a deep blues feel, and spoke openly about his recovery from addiction. His life was cut short by a helicopter crash in 1990, at the height of his powers. The posthumous collection 'The Sky Is Crying' and several Grammy awards confirmed his standing, and he often performed alongside his brother Jimmie Vaughan. For scorching, Texas-rooted blues-rock guitar, Vaughan remains a benchmark.
