The boxed set!
 
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble exploded on the scene in the early eighties after years of grinding it out on the Texas club circuit.
 
Drawn from studio sessions, live performances, and rare radio and television broadcasts, these four discs (including a special DVD) chronicle the brilliant and unbridled career of this uniquely gifted guitar slinger--from unheard early sessions to the last shows at Alpine Valley--and everything in between.
 
Official Press Release
 
Larger View "Four Stars" [out of five] —Revolver, issue #3
 
"Rarer gems like 'Rude Mood/Pipeline' performed with brother Jimmie for MTV and three songs from Vaughan's last gig, at Wisconsin's Alpine Valley, are worth the price of admission alone. Taken as a whole, it is even better—a remarkable body of work." —Texas Monthly, November 2000
 
"A fittingly tremendous tribute to one of the greatest guitar slingers to ever strap on a Strat... A treasure trove of outtakes and previously unreleased live tracks...There is also a DVD Video that showcases a jaw-dropping five-song set... A testament to Legacy's forward-minded A&R, the inclusion of the DVD helps make SRV a must-have item in a year full of alluring boxed sets." —Billboard, "Vital Reissues," November 25, 2000
 
"SRV is the ultimate tribute to the legend...SRV really does set a standard of what boxed sets are supposed to be." —newbeats.com
 
"If there is anyone who owns no Stevie Ray, SRV is the perfect introduction." —barnesandnoble.com
