I've just browsed through 'The Guitar Player's Bible', April 2007
and I found two articles about Stevie Ray Vaughan:
'SRV Blues Legend', pp. 37-45
'Soul to Soul. Inside SRV's Style', pp. 46-48.
What caught my eye:
"He wasn't an innovator pers se. I might get killed for saying that,
but Hendrix was an innovator while Stevie Ray was the ultimate amalgamator.'
They also discuss who influenced him:
T-Bone Walker, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Hubert Sumlin, Chuck Berry, .... and above all Albert King.
' .... he just stole from Albert King, ....'
What do you think?
SRV's 'The Real Deal: Greatest Hits vol. 1', was released in 2007.
