Blues with a Feeling - The Official Podcast

SE 5 Ep 9 - Jimmie Vaughan - Do You Get The Blues - Classic Album Feature


Listen Later

"Recorded in both Memphis and Texas and prominently featuring the amazing Bill Willis on Hammond B-3 (who doubles on bass pedals -- leaving this as one of the few blues albums without an official bassist), Jimmie's more subtle approach leaves lots of spaces to nail a groove that gets deeper as the album progresses. Guests like James Cotton on harp and longtime associate singer Lou Ann Barton (who just about steals the show on the songs where she duets with Vaughan) inject extra spice, but the singer/guitarist has crafted a compelling slice of contemporary blues that blends traditional elements in a distinctive way....Rootsy yet polished tracks like the R&B swamp of "Without You" and the Texas soul of Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "In the Middle of the Night" (featuring Stevie Ray's Double Trouble rhythm section) crackle with taut energy and low-down soul. By forging an individual musical style, Jimmie Vaughan not only avoids all Stevie Ray comparisons, but has produced a remarkable album that truly sounds like no one else." ~ Hal Horowitz, AllMusic.com

With Jimmie Vaughan celebrating a birthday on the 20th, I couldn’t resist the temptation to pull out this modern classic for a BWAF feature.

Plus new releases from Kenny Neal & Micah Willis, Jon Cleary, Bernard Allison, Southern Avenue, Tommy Castro, Carolyn Wonderland and Bernard Allison.
