 The Greatest From The Greatest September 25, 2006
Master Rg Rogers (Sussex, UK)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
When you think of great guitarists, the names roll off of the tongue with ease...Hendrix, King, Clapton, Allman...
But what about Stevie Ray Vaughan. Well, in my humble opinion, this man is possibly the greatest guitarist (behind Hendrix of course) that probably ever did. King is 'samey', Clapton is inconsistent, Allman was tragically cut short. Stevie was however versatile, technically unbelievable and judged by his peers as the greatest blues guitarist of all time.
This album encompasses the greatest of the greatest. From the roots of Vaughan in Texas Flood and Pride and Joy to the sophisticated funk of Couldnt Stand The Weather. After the two discs, I doubt you'll regret ever buying it. I couldn't go to the gym without it. In fact, I couldn't live without Stevie.
Texas' Pride And Joy July 23, 2004

If you've never heard SRV, you'll probably wonder what all the fuss is about, especially if you read guitar magazines (where his name crops up quite frequently).In a nutshell: he's the complete package. Tone, technique and a magnificent singing voice that wouldn't be out of place on a soul record. This recording offers a full spectrum of his rercorded work: the straight-ahead blues songs such as Pride And Joy (the intro still floors me every time), to the technique-laden stomps (Scuttle Buttin'), to the gentler, more melodic (Lenny). After this, you may well wonder if guitar music will ever seem the same again. The 2 CDs of this compilation are as good a place to start as any, offering a larger selection than Texas Flood or The Sky Is Crying (both of which are still essential purchases). I personally think that SRV is an artist who many have yet to discover and enjoy. Try and see for yourself, even if you're not a blues fan - it's hard not to be impressed.
A collection that really covers everything June 28, 2003
Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae)

This is not to say that you shouldn't get Stevie Ray's original studio albums. But if you want a really good career retrospective, go for this excellent double album. It is much, much better than "Greatest Hits" (Vaughan wasn't really a singles artist anyway), and virually everyhing of real importance is here, even superb non-album tracks like "Willie The Wimp" and Hound Dog Taylor's "Give Me Back My Wig"."The Definitive Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble" is filled with the greatest blues guitar playing since Hubert Sumlin, and it shows both the depth of Vaughan's talent and the raw power of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble in a live setting. This is some of the very best blues-rock of the 80s. Ever, actually. And if you're new to Stevie Ray Vaughan, this (along with the terrific "Live Alive" album) is the place to start.
And even if you do have Stevie Ray Vaughan's four original albums, it is actually worth it to get this collection as well, just to have all these wonderful songs together on two discs!

This is a superb collection from the late Texas Genius. Buy this album if you like guitar brilliance, when you hear it you seriously wonder if there was anyone better.

I don;t really need to say very much about this except you would be fool not to buy it. SRV is a talent not be be missed. His guitar playing ability is second to very few, and he makes blues sound on a completely different level.you won't regret buying this. it has so many amazing songs on these 2 cd's, so is excellent value for money if i must say. buy this!!!!
