Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood VINYL LP PPAN38734 It's hard to overestimate the impact Stevie Ray Vaughan's debut, "Texas Flood", had upon its release in 1983. At that point, blues was no longer hip, the way it was in the '60s. "Texas Flood" changed all that, climbing into the Top 40 and spending over half a year on the charts, which was practically unheard of for a blues recording. Vaughan became a genuine star and, in doing so, sparked a revitalization of the blues. The album is paced like a club show, kicking off with Vaughan's two best self-penned songs, "Love Struck Baby" and "Pride and Joy", then settling into a pair of covers, the slow-burning title track and an exciting reading of Howlin' Wolf's "Tell Me", before building to the climax of "Dirty Pool" and "I'm Crying".
