Stevie Ray Vaughan - Tightrope

This is a live performance by Texan blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan playing the song "Tightrope". The performance is from the TV-programme "Austin City Limits" where Stevie Ray Vaughan appeared in 1989.

The song "Tightrope" is from the fourth and final studio album by Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band Double Trouble. The album was made and released after Stevie Ray Vaughan got clean and the positive vibe of sobriety shines through on every track of this life embracingly beautiful album. The song is credited to Stevie Ray Vaughan and singer-songwriter Doyle Bramhall.
It's a great song with a very unique and positive vibe. The lyrics are really good too, because the imagery throughout the song is really good and well written.
A great song by one of the best guitarists.

Enjoy ; )

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Wall of Denial

This is a clip of Stevie Ray Vaughan performing his song "Wall of Denial" from his 1989 album "In Step". It's the fourth studio album by Stevie and the last album he did with Double Trouble. The last studio album of Stevie was the album "Family Style" done with his brother Jimmie Vaughan.
The main theme throughout "In Step" was Stevie's recent sobriety, what went before, and the fact that he had come out clean and sober on the other side.
The performance is from "The Late Show" with David Letterman, probably from a promotion tour for the album.
The album won for "Best Contemporary Blues Album" at the 1990 Grammys.
