Stevie Ray Vaughan-"In Step" (1989)

After many years hooked on drugs, and multiple musical projects, tours and collaborations during the 70s and 80s, Stevie Ray Vaughan began to have some success when he founded his band Double Trouble in the early 80s.
With an enviable, original technique and great talent with the six strings playing with unbridled passion, Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of the last greats of modern blues, with a solo career that lasted barely ten years and which he recorded a series of albums considered the best of modern blues rock.
With his first album "Texas Flood" he achieved a great reputation and was nominated for the Grammy, being even today one of the most popular albums of the electric blues.
"In Step" was his last album released in 1989, where Vaughan produced an energetic blues rock, fusing Chicago blues with the energy and mystique of one of his idols, Jimi Hendrix.
From the initial and contagious "Crossfire", passing through rock roll "The House is Rockin´ ", the blues ballad "Leave My Girl Alone", the experimental "Riviera Paradise" or the instrumental "Travis Walk", Vaughan leaves us a an essential job that unfortunately was the closure to his excellent career, since a year later he died in a painful helicopter accident in Wisconsin while he was going to a concert in Chicago.
