Well it's floodin' down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down
Well it's floodin' down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down
And I've been tryin' to call my baby
Lord and I can't get a single sound

Well dark clouds are rollin' in
Man I'm standin' out in the rain
Well dark clouds are rollin' in
Man I'm standin' out in the rain
Yeah flood water keep a rollin'
Man it's about to drive poor me insane

Well I'm leavin' you baby
Lord and I'm goin' back home to stay
Well I'm leavin' you baby
Lord and I'm goin' back home to stay
Well back home I know floods and tornados
Baby the sun shines every day

Wow, what a great song, and what memories this evokes...  I was staring into a campfire behind a hostel near the Katherine River Gorge, in Northern Territory, in the Outback of wild, wonderful Oz; a collection of travelers, some from Broome, some from Melbourne, even a gal from Iran and I, all of us drinking our way through a big stack of cold stubbies, when a somber soul stumbled up and told us the news he'd just heard over the radio. We all felt the chill, and as it sank in, I felt the sting of tears in my eyes. I was taking the long way home to the USA after my first two of 20 years in Japan, and I'd seen Stevie twice, once at good ol' CU in '85 and again at Red Rocks with Bonnie Raitt, in '86 or '87, and my North Peak Trail Crew co-workers and I had played Texas Flood every day and night the entire summer of '84, and the idea that I'd never get to see him jam again just seemed too much to bear. We all felt the bite of our own mortality a bit more keenly, and every stubby in reach was dry by the time we all called it a night. Stevie, your jams still rock me to my core, and thanks, RP!

Every time it rains hard here in Texas, I send a link to this song to my brothers in New York. Kind of an inside joke, I'm the only Texan in the fam, I've been here over two thirds of my life at age 57. I never got to see SRV live, one of my greatest regrets, but back then I was into hair metal... stupid... stupid...

Late 1970's - 80's, SRV used to come through my hometown on a regular basis. Triple Threat played the Cotton Club, a BYOB joint, all the time. I last saw Stevie and Double Trouble in 1984 at a little club, max occupancy about 250. Awesome show. Glad I got to see a legend up close.
RIP, Stevie. Thanks for the good times. I drank a lot of Coors and chatted up a lot of girls while you played.

Ok, flame me. I hate Stevie Ray Vaughan. A great guitarist no doubt but I find his style annoying. There's no soul in bending up to the same piercing note 200 times in a row. Listen to Hendrix - he was great because he knew just where to stop and do something else. His loose sense of rhythm was more sophisticated and his musical reasoning was much better. This is just pale imitation that often sounds painfully naive to me.
OK, here's what sounds painfully naive to me: That you expect us to believe that you didn't make up your mind about SRV in the first 30 seconds you heard him and never really listened after that. His soul and skill are so obvious to legions of fans, including many of his peers, that your synopsis is clearly uninformed. I guess you would probably say the same thing about Clapton. You should read some of the things he's said about being humbled by Stevie Ray. You can check out some quotes from several great musicians here.

I hear what both of you are saying, and I also agree with what both of you are saying.
See? It cán actually be that easy  :-D
To elaborate: I am definitely more of a fan of Jimi's unending accents, metrics, feeling for the rhythm, his genius mind that adds notes where noone would think of going looking for them, and his fantastic voice (and so much more).

That being said, I know little to nothing about SRV (I'm ehm one of them damn mid-'80s kids) but this guy  can PLAY. Very interesting variations to repeating licks, great use of accents and I love guys that know to sometimes NOT play a note to make their playing more impactful.

I do not care much for the way he cuts off his notes and bends so quickly, but then we're talking about style and personal flavour, which is something we are supposed to be discussing, right?

Stevie Ray being SRV while channeling Albert King here.
Saw SRV and Jeff Beck at the Capital Center in Lanham, MD. back in '89, a sold out show in a huge arena.
They didn't leave anyone alive, slayed us all metaphorically speaking.
Albert King was always a delight to see in a small club.
*sigh*  Those were the days.

It's surely good to know that SRV was more than a visionary guitarist.  Because Galveston is one of the top cities expected to be partly or completely flooded as the seas rise.  The most voodoo guitar licks possible won't be holding that back.

SRV stole the show back in the '80s but those who know will tell ya he never held a candle next to Johnny Winter. Forget SRV's Texas Flood. Gimme John Dawson Winter's The Sky is Crying.

Awesome, just fricking — AWESOME!  Back in '86 and '87, Big Head Todd used to play this and other SRV gems every week at the Friday Afternoon Club at the CU Memorial Center...can't believe it now but we actually kind of got tired of him doing it! (We'd seen Stevie jam at Red Rocks in June of '85 and CU Events Center in Oct. of the same year...). Then that legend was taken too soon...and now surprisingly many years have gone by and it is good to remember...but not many around who can jam it like SRV or BHT!
Well, Todd and The Monsters are playing for us Boulder Homies THIS SATURDAY Dec. 15, at The Fox On The Hill, and we're hoping they'll do us the biggest and PLAY THIS AGAIN! 
The Blues is this marvelous therapeutic ritual thing people can participate in through the years across all times, races, and places, dig it!

I was recently watching a programme on the BBC (UK) hosted by Jools Holland called 'Sounds Of London'' and evidently (if I remember correctly) during the 17 century  on every street corner there were people singing .. songs they had written themselves ... these songs were taken to the Americas long before the slave trade began but when the black man did arrive in America he took up these songs and sang them in his peculiar style... Does that help with your SRV problem ???

I know what you mean, most songs get old just from being old.
Just look at most of the songs from the 60's for an example.

But this guitar is special. Old or new, this is one hot guitar. 
Stevie is to guitars, what Elvis was to hips

 
No no no, i meant that literally!  The day before i posted that, we had flash floods here in Texas.  All apologies for my strange sense of humor!  {#Foot-in-mouth}

Just read in Joe Bonamassa's newsletter that this Monday, Aug. 27, will be the 22nd anniversary of SRV's death, at age 35, in a post-concert helicopter crash. Wow. Still smokin' and so current, but long gone.

But even when the blues are an off-putting the-guitarist-gotta-shoot-himself 6, this kind of play rockets it to the top. Jeez, Stevie could finesse those strings.

Great player. Great sound. However this is some pretty uninspired playing from Stevie in my opinion. It's as though his finger is permanently drawn to the tonic...and he can't get off. Dullsville.

Years ago (circa 1996), I found in a local supermarket a pack of three CDs by this guy. I hadn't really heard anything by him, just a few good critiques. I bought them all for about 6€ each, IIRC. The three CDs happened to be "Texas flood", "Couldn't stand the weather" and "Soul to soul".

What can I say? It was a good buy :-)

Such a game changer. The only other comparison I can think of is Hendrix in terms of absolutely redefining the electric guitar. I'm at work, so I don't have time to think - apologies to any other artists I'm missing in the comparison.

After a while, these blues songs all start to sound the same.
 
I agree with you somewhat.  That's why I don't think I could play in a blues band.  Many of the songs are based on the 1-4-5 chord progression, and it could get a bit boring playing that all night.  But, I guess it's what you make of it!

You know you're an SRV fan when you hear this and go "this is the studio version, of course, but the vocals sound different to me". So I came to the site and I see it's the "remastered" version, which I don't think I've heard before. Thanks for keeping the SRV in the playlist!

 
I've read that remastering is bit of a scam, but I thought it was adjusting the master tape EQ, etc., for the CD medium.  With vinyl, the engineers had to be careful of levels, especially bass, or the needle would literally jump out of the groove.  The CD is more forgiving, hence the "remastering."
