Stevie Ray Vaughan - In The Beginning Review

From CD jacket: "In The Beginning is a snapshot of Stevie Vaughan before he became Stevie Ray Vaughan: before his silk kimonos and black sombreros became trademarks, before his incendiary Montreux Jazz Festival appearance, before his recording contract, before his studio stint with David Bowie. In The Beginning, reveals that Stevie Vaughan did not grow up in public. He emerged full-blown as essentially the same artist who played his last solos alongside Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, and Jimmie Vaughan on August 27, 1990."

In The Beginning captures SRV & DT playing live at Steamboat 1874 in Austin, Texas, on April 1, 1980. The show was broadcast live on KGSR-FM in Austin, Texas. There are several smokin' blues cover songs on this live CD, including Tin Pan Alley, In the Open, They Call Me Guitar Hurricane, Tell Me, and Shake for Me.
