Live At MTV Mardi Gras On 180g Vinyl LP!
Recorded at MTV's Mardi Gras celebration in February 1987, Stevie Ray Vaughan turned this gig on a Louisiana riverboat into a family affair by bringing out his brother Jimmie to play, along with Jimmie's bandmate Kim Wilson and their group The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
"With his astonishingly accomplished guitar playing, Stevie Ray Vaughan ignited the blues revival of the '80s. Vaughan drew equally from bluesmen like Albert King, Otis Rush, and Muddy Waters and rock & roll players like Jimi Hendrix and Lonnie Mack, as well as the stray jazz guitarist like Kenny Burrell, developing a uniquely eclectic and fiery style that sounded like no other guitarist, regardless of genre. Vaughan bridged the gap between blues and rock like no other artist had since the late '60s. For the next seven years, Stevie Ray was the leading light in American blues, consistently selling out concerts while his albums regularly went gold. His tragic death in 1990 only emphasized his influence in blues and American rock & roll." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com
