Review The Original Source / T-Bone Walker:T-Bone Walker was the founder of electric blues guitar playing. That's not an opinion, it's a fact, attested by later musicians from BB King and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown on down. What he did, he did within the space of a few years, back at the end of the 1940s, and it is all here, on the four CDs of The Original Source: the original recordings of "Call It Stormy Monday", "T-Bone Shuffle", "Cold, Cold Feeling", "T-Bone Jumps Again" and dozens more. (Ninety tracks, to be precise: his entire issued output up to the end of 1951. ) The primer, the first steps, John and Janet Play Electric Blues. Relaxed yet sharp, chordally sophisticated yet blues-rich, Walker's guitar-playing is matched by his singing: his voice drifts over the surface of the music like cigarette smoke, the delivery lazy, the lyrics pungent. "If a woman says she loves you, that don't mean a thing", he advises Confused of Santa Monica. "Tell her you want a Cadillac car and a great big diamond ring". In the background two or three horns respond with mocking riffs: "Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. [+]Been there, done that". This is some of the coolest music in the whole blues catalogue, blues so laconic and world-weary that they could have been scripted by Raymond Chandler. -Tony Russell.

Review Texas Flood / Stevie Ray Vaughan:This legendary 1983 debut by the fallen torchbearer of the 1980s-90s blues revival sounds even more dramatic in its remixed and expanded edition. Stevie Ray Vaughan's guitar and vocals are a bit brighter and more present on this 14-track album. Texas Flood captures Vaughan as rockin' blues purist, paying tribute in his inspired six-string diction to his influences Larry Davis (who wrote the title track), Buddy Guy, Albert King, and Jimi Hendrix. His own contemplative "Lenny", a tribute to his wife at the time, also suggests a jazz-fuelled complexity that would infuse his later work. -Ted Drozdowski.

Review Couldn't Stand the Weather / Stevie Ray Vaughan:This second album, Couldn't Stand the Weather is one of the great Texan guitarist's most representative (and best), winning out on variety in terms of its chosen material, track lengths and general feel. The Double Trouble rhythm team had been with Vaughan since 1978, this longest-running version featuring bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton, keeping it tight behind Stevie Ray's dynamo fronting. Vaughan tears straight into "Scuttle Buttin", a terse instrumental showcase, guitar spitting clusters of hot buckshot. Then he cuts back for the title track, suddenly toying with the spaces between each groove. Vaughan's funky chopping summons the memory of Hendrix, his chief influence, but not as much as the majestic version of "Voodoo Chile" which follows immediately: the next best thing you're going to get apart from Jimi himself. Vaughan wisely chooses to cover Guitar Slim's classic "The Things (That) I Used To Do", with brother Jimmie guesting on second guitar. Then, "Roughest Place In Town" reveals that slinky sensitivity is Stevie Ray's province too, vocals breathily sighing as he picks out, high-stringed pointillist miniatures. -Martin Longley.
