Synopsis
Amazon.comThe second wind following Vaughan's torrential debut, Texas Flood, Weather is no less severe a storm. Vaughan classics such as "Cold Shot," "Scuttle Buttin'," and "Honey Bee" are flanked by reverent, impassioned takes on Jimmy Reed's "Tin Pan Alley" and Guitar Slim's slinky "The Things That I Used to Do. An ambitious, heavily improvised reading of Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" finds the late Dallas native coaxing soaring, spitfire dialogues between his Texas-cured voice and blues-abused Stratocaster. Vaughan has inspired a whole school of guitar players. A class roster of "next Stevie Rays" includes Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Ian Moore, and Corey Stevens. Couldn't Stand the Weather constitutes a good chunk of the text, and it remains an exciting read, whether you're a guitar student or you just enjoy a classic thriller. --James Rotondi

CD Reviews
SRV on SACD J. Thomas | Out on the Lost Highway | 06/09/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "This review is for the SACD version of an established classic album. The remaster was good, this is better. Must have an SACD player to play this disc as Sony has so far only released single layer SACD discs while all the other lables releasing SACD material are dual layer and therefore backwards compatible. They will play in a regular cd player. But why would you want to. This SACD has a wider and much deeper sound stage. Snare and kick drum attacks here are very sharp and articulated. Midrange guitar notes punch you right in the stomach while Stevie's voice has incredible presence compared to the regular cd version. The slower, bluesy tracks including Stang's Twang really make you sit up and take note of the detailed sound this SACD offers. As Hound Dog Taylor and SRV said, "Give me back my wig and let your head go bald"."
