Blues At Sunrise: Stax Expands Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan’s ‘In Session’

August 23, 2024 by Mike Duquette | 5 Comments

An intergenerational meeting between two late blues guitar gods – Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan – will be revived on CD and vinyl in a new expanded package. Originally recorded in 1983 and first released in 1999, In Session features the six-stringers trading licks on a Canadian television program of the same name, when King was a 60-year-old living legend and Vaughan a young upstart who’d turned heads with his licks on David Bowie’s Let’s Dance before releasing his own powerful debut Texas Flood with his trio Double Trouble. As King recounts in one…

Review: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, “The Complete Epic Recordings Collection”

October 28, 2014 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

It may seem unbelievable, but it’s been nearly 25 years since Stevie Ray Vaughan perished at the age of 35, victim of a helicopter crash. Yet it’s a testament to the guitar slinger’s blazing talent that his musicianship even today remains a high watermark for those playing his instrument. A six-time Grammy winner and inductee into the Blues Hall of Fame and Musicians Hall of Fame, the Texas native created music that is as vibrant and stirring today as when it was first committed to tape. The Legacy Recordings/Epic Records release of…
