The End Of August

Actually the 27th marks the day that Stevie Ray Vaughan was tragically killed in a helicopter crash in 1990.

SRV was easily one of the greatest blues artists ever.

Clapton? Even though he was more prolific, SRV was easily better. Just listen to Coldshot or Pride and Joy and tell me that Clapton was better.

B.B. King? No comparison.

John Lee Hooker? Probably as close as you can get to blues perfection so SRV is close for sure to John Lee.

Listen to Voodoo Chile and tell me that Hendrix's version is better. I don't think you can.

SRV added so much emotional depth to his music. He poured his heart into his guitar and if you listen to Tin Pan Alley and don't cry you might need to go to the doctor to have your heart checked.

Yeah Clapton is more flashy than SRV, easily but SRV only put out six studio albums and one of them was posthumous. If SRV had lived he would have given Slow Hand a run for his money.

The Sky Is Crying.
