Listening to a tune called Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland on vocals and Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar....................I gotta tell you, this song drips with cool. Stevie is simply a master..............wow I am overwhelmed.......

Yea...I think that was the first SRV tune I ever heard...and I've been hooked ever since.

I was really lucky because I got to see him here in Cleveland the year before he died. He did a double header out at the Blossom Amphitheater with Joe Cocker and my wife got pavilion seats for my birthday...it was a hell of a show to say the least.

Stevie Ray Vaughn was like Jimi Hendrix in that he was one of a kind...a phenomenon...and I doubt the world will ever see another just like him.

Peace,
Jim

Someday I'm going to muster the courage to play that song, I like it a lot. Of course, I like just about everything SRV did. lol

And I'm digging the Peavey T-60. You know, Johnny Copeland is from Houston too.

Their collaboration on 'Don't Stop By the Creek, Son' is awesome too.

SRV was cool as can be, Johnny can hold his own, but that rhythm section went from Johnny Winter to SRV and I thought they would have found another guitarist by now, no disrespect to SRV one of my favorite guitar players who is missed very much just saying that rhythm section has to have some playing left in them, would be great to see them playing with another top guitar player.

For a while both Tommy and Chris played with Kenny Wayne Shepherd and did a fantastic job. These days only Chris plays with KWS but I'm not sure what Tommy is doing.

IMHO I don't think SRV would have been the guy we all know and love without Chris and Tommy. While SRV had the chops in his pre-Double Trouble bands there was just a different groove going on. I think Chris and Tommy are just as responsible for the Texas Blues sound as much as Stevie.

Tin pan is my favorite SRV song. I was lucky enough to see SRV with double trouble at the channel club in Boston back in the early 80's. I was glue against the front stage.

I have to absolutely agree here...as great as Stevie was, I don't think that Chris and Tommy ever got enough credit for their work. I feel the same way about "Double Trouble" as I do about Cream...regardless of how good Clapton was/is, could you really imagine Cream without Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker? I just would not have been the same thing...






Thank you soooo much for sharing that vid! Now -that- my friends is how you play the blues!

Not only is the playing truly awesome there, I have to say that seeing Copeland playing that Peavey T-60 is just incredible. There's a lot of gear snobs around here who wouldn't even touch a guitar like that. And for those who think you need "such and such guitar" to sound like "so and so", please note that Stevie isn't even playing a "real" Fender there...what is that...a Charvelle...with "lipstick tubes"? Wicked! I think that really proves what I and a lot of others have said in the past about it not being the guitar as much as simply the person playing it.

Peace,
Jim
