Stevie Ray Vaughan - The House Is Rockin

With his astonishingly accomplished guitar playing, Stevie Ray Vaughan ignited the blues revival of the '80s. Vaughan drew equally from bluesmen like Albert King, Buddy Guy, and Albert Collins and rock & roll players like Jimi Hendrix and Lonnie Mack, as well as jazz guitarists like Kenny Burrell and Wes Montgomery, developing a uniquely eclectic and fiery style that sounded like no other guitarist, regardless of genre. Vaughan bridged the gap between blues and rock like no other artist had since the late '60s. From 1983 to 1990 Stevie Ray was the leading light in American blues, consistently selling out concerts while his albums regularly went gold. His tragic death in 1990 at age 35 cut short a brilliant career in blues and American rock & roll just as he was on the brink of superstardom.

Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan - Stormy Monday

"Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just as Bad)" (commonly referred to as "Stormy Monday") is a song written and recorded by American blues electric guitar pioneer T-Bone Walker. It is a slow twelve-bar blues performed in the West Coast blues-style that features Walker's smooth, plaintive vocal and distinctive guitar work. As well as becoming a record chart hit in 1948, it inspired B.B. King and others to take up the electric guitar. "Stormy Monday" became Walker's best-known and most-recorded song.
"Stormy Monday" is one of the most popular blues standards, with numerous renditions. As well as being necessary for blues musicians, it is also found in the repertoires of many jazz, soul, pop, and rock performers. The song is included in the Grammy, Rock and Roll, and Blues Foundation halls of fame as well as the U.S. Library of Congress' National Recording Registry.

Eric Clapton & Buddy Guy - Sweet Home Chicago

Two of the most virtuous guitar players of all time. Today, we have the honor to present Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy performing Sweet Home Chicago. This song was first recorded and is credited to have been written by Robert Johnson in 1936.
From my standpoint, the "one of a kind" version of this song was performed by Blues Brothers in 1980, during The Blues Brothers movie. Unfortunately, due copyright reasons, I can't post the video (they took the video out from Youtube). Anyway, download the music here.






Since the video were stupidly removed, we found out another great version to present here. This time, we can see: Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan and Robert Cray. The Blues genre must be spread around the world and not being stopped by doubtful reasons.
