Remembering Stevie Ray Vaughan!
“Well, I’ve been over here… been over there
Friends all around me everywhere
But it really doesn’t matter
Which way I want to go
I’m a million miles from nowhere
And that’s a long long way from home”

#OnThisDay in 1990, #StevieRayVaughan, American blues guitarist (Texas Flood; "Pride And Joy"; David Bowie - "Let's Dance"), died in a helicopter crash at 35.

"Pride and Joy" is a song by American singer, guitarist and songwriter #StevieRayVaughan and his backing band #DoubleTrouble, released in late 1983 by #EpicRecords. It lists Vaughan as the writer, but actually it is rewritten from a 1962 record called "I Go Into Orbit" by Johnny Acey. The song was released on Stevie's debut studio album #TexasFlood (1983). "Pride and Joy" was released as Vaughan's debut #single and has become one of his most popular songs.

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, Texas Flood, 1983 on Epic
Hard to believe given how fully formed the sound is, but this was the debut album for Vaughan and Double Trouble. Said to have been recorded in two days with no overdubs.
What a fantastic debut: “Love Struck Baby,” “Pride and Joy,” and the title track lead off side one. The band here is Vaughan with Tommy Shannon on bass and Chris Layton on drums – John Hammond as Executive Producer, with Richard Mullen and Vaughan sharing Producer credit.
My copy is the 2023 Vinyl Me, Please reissue, E125 in the Essentials track, on what they call “Pride & Joy” split vinyl (black and white), with listening notes by Andrew Winistorfer. Excellent pressing of a great album.
