Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in just three days, 'Texas Flood' single-handedly revived the mainstream popularity of electric blues in the 1980s. Stevie Ray Vaughan's incredibly passionate, highly technical guitar playing breathes fiery new life into traditional Texas blues and rock-and-roll structures. The album is a raw, fiercely energetic showcase of virtuosic improvisation and muscular, rhythmic groove.
