Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The blues-rock guitar hero's studio vaults were nearly empty when he died in an August 27, 1990, helicopter crash. This set unearths a 1978 Austin session track of "You Can Have My Husband" with Vaughan as second fiddle to his then girlfriend, singer Lou Ann Barton, but it's undistinguished compared to the previously unreleased live performances that compose this disc's heart. Vaughan contributes teeth-baring pentatonic solos to Lonnie Mack's "Oreo Cookie Blues" at Atlanta's Fox Theatre in 1986 and brings his bullish tone to the late blues piano stomper Katie Webster's "On the Run" at the 1988 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Bonnie Raitt's distinctively keening slide adds elegance to a "Texas Flood" from Bumbershoot 1985 in Seattle, and when Stevie's older sibling Jimmie Vaughan stops by Saturday Night Live to play rhythm on a 1985 "Change It," li'l bro' squeezes out screaming fireworks. But the best cut's a breathtaking '88 Jazz Fest slugfest with Texas Telecaster blaster Albert Collins that's jammed with howling, shaken notes and machine-gun riffing. Both are in top form. The rest is culled from Vaughan's guest appearances on others' releases or previous retrospectives and include matches with blues godfathers B.B. King and Albert King, as well as Johnny Copeland and A.C. Reed, Jeff Beck, Austin barrelhouser Marcia Ball, surf guitar king Dick Dale, and David Bowie, whose "Let's Dance" introduced Vaughan to the mainstream in 1983. --Ted Drozdowski Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great Expectations ?I don't understand all the negative reviews. The album title and description say it all. The sound is good, the performances are good. Six of the songs are previously unreleased, half of the others I had never heard before. I compare this to the Duane Allman anthologies, you hear him as a backing musician on some tunes. Hearing Albert Collins and Bonnie Rait on songs with Stevie sure sounds good to me. Buy it and enjoy. Rating: - Oh No! Not the recording companies!Oh My God! I just read the other reviews for this CD, and found out that the RECORDING COMPANIES ISSUED IT ONLY TO MAKE MONEY!!! Not the recording companies! I guess I better go buy a different CD. Wait...what if the recording companies are just making money off of that too??!! NOOOOO! By the way, this CD kicks butt, if that actually counts for anything. Rating:  - Some of SRV's Best LIVE Solo SweatFor those who have panned this CD, I just have to quote the great Artie Shaw. --> "Go away!" What a treat to hear the SRV's hot licks on the LIVE, "Albert's Shuffle" with Albert Collins. "Goin' Down" with Jeff Beck. It's a challenge to tell who is who, but 'Becky' is playing his butt off, to stay up with the kid from Texas. "Change It" is such an under rated jazzy, little rocker. Melodic vocal -Stevie just has such a soulful voice and on this live version ... Read More Rating:  - Entertaining if taken in context...When you buy this disc you have to understand what you're getting. This is a collection of odds & ends that Stevie collaborated on with other artists. Often times he is relegated to a supporting role. As such, you may not hear much from him except for the occasional solo or riff. This isn't a Stevie Ray Vaughan record, it's a "duets" record at best. As a historical document, and to round out your SRV collection, it's O.K. If you are curious to see how Stevie's talents were integrated ...

SO SAD THAT THERE WONT BE ANY MORE. REST IN PEACE STEVIE RAY Browse for similar items by category:
