In the decade following his departure from The Fabulous Thunderbirds and the death of his younger brother Stevie Ray, Jimmie Vaughan quietly carved out a critically acclaimed solo career steeped in a fusion of soul and blues. Despite parting ways with Nile Rodgers, (who produced Vaughan's first two records), the laid-back Texan goes down the same creative path in assuming the production helm for DO YOU GET THE BLUES?
Recorded at Memphis' famed Ardent Studios, Vaughan's third album reunites him with legendary Federal Records house musician Bill Willis, whose juicy organ playing brings to mind the late Bill Doggett on the instrumental opener "Dirty Girl," funky shuffle "Robbin' Me Blind," and gospel-flavored "Out Of The Shadows". Throughout, Vaughan's often underrated and understated style of guitar playing continues to impress whether it's the chunky riffs lightly sprinkled throughout the yearning "Without You" or the crackling twang bubbling throughout the late night "Slow Dance Blues." Longtime friend and fellow Texan Lou Ann Barton also puts in a cameo, wrapping herself in a lusty duet with her fellow Austinite on Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "In The Middle Of The Night" before making like Carla Thomas to Vaughan's Otis Redding on the righteous "Power Of Love."
Industry Reviews
4 stars out of 5 - ...Arresting solos with an emotional straightforwardness....Vaughn's now singing better than ever....and as a songwriter, the Texan gets good grades, too...
