(Submit New Stevie Ray Vaughan Lyrics) (Submit New Stevie Ray Vaughan Lyrics) Still mesmerized by this giant | Reviewer: Shoshannah ------ About artist/band Stevie Ray Vaughan My 47 year old brother, a life-long musician/drummer, died two years ago this February but while he was here, we shared a tremendous love of Stevie Ray (I even named my Yorkshire Terrier Stevie Ray). We'd often pass videos back and forth or watch them together. One day my family was over and as we watched Stevie on Austin City Limits, he said of the seemingly, largely unmoved audience, whether to anyone who would listen or just to himself, I don't know, "Man, these people have no idea what they're looking at". Another brother replied, "Oh, and you do?" Damn right he knew! So did I. And to this day, for various reasons, it seems a lot of people still don't get it and when I see Stevie on the screen, I still wonder--will they ever 'get it'? AZN AMERICAN | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song CROSSFIRE performed by Stevie Ray Vaughan Classic rock is my favorite genre with favorites like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC,Queen, and CCR. Despite this song turned me into a new fan of whatever this is. lali bella , love no lies | Reviewer: omar el-kadri ------ About artist/band Stevie Ray Vaughan i still got this tape, it's from 1983 or so, and iwas pretty young. it was a rockpalast show with the three and they played it live in the radio also. so i recorded it, and i still got this tape. when i visited my old man in leb years ago, a guitarrist friend borrowed this tape, and i could'nt hear it for ages. 'till i came again and insisted to have it back. i got a good copy of my own old tape. being 13 14 years old i loved rhythm and blues so much, probably because everybody hated it and because it was the horrible age of duran duran and kraftwerk, new romantics and neue deutsche welle. all the drum machines hurt my ears, and i sat there listening to all the other things. how can i describe stevie ray, a teacher a friend a big brother, he opened my ears and eyes for so much.i loved memphis slim and all that, i listened to everything from the rythm and blues show on BFBS ( brit. forces broadcast ) and we had a very good record store in town, so i was priviledged to hear a lots of things. but he unified so much or everything, gave a new bond of live to everything, and freed up everyone. and of course he tought me so many little things in rythm and harmony. i wish i could see him, but i know i had this dream where i was biking in the evening in an old southern city when i heard him play, then saw him in a sort of little bar playing, and he had no hat on, and i passed him my own metallic deep blue strat saying:play it, it would honor me, but he bent down towards little me looking like a big very kind native man saying: no, the honor is on my side. love is strong. ain't gone "N" give up on it. raven raven, come let me tell you, i shure like old icons too. peace, omar All-time Best Texas Boogie/Blues Guitarist | Reviewer: Omar Baltuth ------ About artist/band Stevie Ray Vaughan I'm amazed that no one else has seen fit to comment on the guitar-playing skill and consummarte blues mastery of the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan. He exhibited such incredible facility and ease in his playing that he could cover anyone, from Dick Dale (Pipeline) to Jimi Hendrix (Little Wing). He was just so damned good at playing blues that he redefined the form for many listeners. Stevie started out in blues covering the great blues men and equalled their skill such ease that before his life was cut short, he played with them on stage and won their respect by executing brilliantly, but not overshadowing his mentors with flash. He complemented and enhanced their music, just as any great musician does. Listen to him playing with B. B. King and Eric Clapton some time. Notice how he plays along while the more famous guitarist does his solo. Then, when it's his turn, he renders the same song in a way that's all his own, and no less technically brilliant. One can't ever say that anyone playing at that level is "better" than another; they are just different. Stevie Ray Vaughan was unique and wonderful. Whether or not he was "the best" is irrelevant. We may never hear anyhone like him again. But, as admired and emulated as he is, a lot of people are trying to reach that stature, so it could well happen. I hope it's soon. I miss SRV, even 14 years after his death. Stevie's Version Is An Instrumental | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song LITTLE WING performed by Stevie Ray Vaughan While the lyrics listed for this song are correct for the Jimi Hendrix & Derek & the Domino's versions of this song, Stevie's version had no lyrics. In some ways, this version is even more powerfull due to the omission of the lyrics.
