Stevie Ray Vaughan
Comment:
In the grand scheme of things, Stevie Ray Vaughan's time on the scene went by in a brief flash of genius. Which makes it all the more incredible that his legacy is as lasting as his talent was vast. A perfect storm of rock, blues, even jazz, Vaughan's six-string virtuosity defied labels, as the man and his band, Double Trouble, roared out of the gate in the early '80s, tilting the music world on its axis at a time when the sounds of the day leaned more toward synth beats than blues-rock shuffles. From the radio staple "Crossfire" to the cool-blues boogie "Cold Shot" to the slow-jam special "Texas Flood," Vaughan made the most of his too-brief time on Earth; and here at iTunes, we like to think we make the most of his music, with three playlists featuring the best of Stevie Ray's essential listening.
