Interesting background.

I'm not a huge blues fan, but this was enjoyable.

This was SRV's first work post rehab. Its a song about his recovery from the addiction and the self destruction. That whole CD is awesome.

I saw him live back in a day.... MAN! What a guitar slinger!

Died too soon.

and who dare rate any Stevie Ray Vaughan less than a 9.9!!!!!!!!!!


Nobody's entire collection deserves a 9.9. Even the Beatles had some stinkers. This is definitely not my favorite SRV. . .

I once knocked a man over a bar when this song was playing. I looked like Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse.
