these lyrics are what made the song for me and its ruined. has anyone noticed that the song "Life Without You" is missing lyrics towards the end of the song. also missing is the song "Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up On Love" but since both discs are near its full time limit i dont know which song to omit to make room for "Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up On Love". I dug out my cassette version of Soul to Soul and played this song and the last lyrics are as follows: "life without you, all the love you passed my way.the angels have waited for you so long, now they have their way.take your place". either i got the misfortune of grabbing the only collection with this blunder or for some reason jimmie vaughan omitted these lyrics when remastering his brother's music. but then again what greatest hits from any artist has every song you know and like. nonetheless this is a spectacular collection from the dearly missed stevie ray vaughan.
This is an excellent CD set from SRV, has some of his best music on it and can be listened to for hours.
Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of the best blues artist of our time. He is missed. The reviewer that wrote that he was country hasn't listened to country. Before you write a review do your home work or stay out.
What else can i say other than Stevie ray Vaughn is the MAN and everyone should listen to all his music.
Most of all, SRV is a complete Texas blues package, his singing is excellent, his command of the blues idiom so total one imagines he must have dreamt blues as well as lived them - everything works, right down to the outfits and soul patch.In a sense, SRV was the brightest hope of a next generation of blues masters. In life, Vaughan was unable to outlive irony. Some of the tracks on this splendid, reasonably priced 2 CD-set could peel paint off road signs. The several Hendrix covers attest to this - they are actually not the best parts of this effort although Little Wing is marvelous. I guess that really is why they call it the blues. He picked his idols wisely, patterning himself after Albert King, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, among others. There will be those who will claim SRV outstrips Winter, I can't agree, but I would say they belong in the same sentence.
He did, and was enjoying success as a sober man, only to die in a helicopter crash. Self-taught, unable to read a note of music, Stevie Ray Vaughan displays technical virtuosity that at times seems almost Faustian, it's hard to believe that what you're hearing is even possible. Decades of chronic drug and alcohol abuse took him to death's door where he made the decision to get clean. However, there are also strong rock overtones here, most notably the influence of Hendrix who he clearly worshipped. The others prove that SRV could recreate the Hendrix sound - which in itself is an amazing achievement - but add nothing new.SRV was discovered by legendary virtuoso Johnny Winter, who retains the title of Texas blues heavyweight, and also frequently crossed over to rock. It's a tragic story, but he certainly left us with some incendiary, thoroughly satisfying music. Highly recommended.
