Few guitarists have packed as much into seven years as Stevie Ray Vaughan did. The Dallas born blues rock virtuoso fronted the trio Double Trouble and almost single handedly sparked a blues revival in the 1980s, at a time when the genre had fallen well off mainstream radar. His debut album Texas Flood, released in 1983, turned heads fast, and he kept the momentum going through a string of critically and commercially successful records. His fourth studio album In Step hit number 33 in the US in 1989 and contained his only chart topping single, Crossfire. Vaughan's tone and technique drew from the deep well of Texas blues, with Albert King and Muddy Waters among his touchstones, filtered through a raw electric ferocity all his own. He played on David Bowie's Let's Dance before his own career took off, and by 1989 he was headlining Madison Square Garden. Rolling Stone has twice placed him in the top twenty guitarists of all time, and he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. His catalog has sold over 15 million copies in the US alone.
