Тексты песен Stevie Ray Vaughan
Информация о артисте
Несмотря на то, что Stevie Ray Vaughan погиб в возрасте 35-ти лет в 1990 году, он до сих пор остаётся самым влиятельным гитаристом contemporary blues – современного блюза. В истории любого музыкального жанра время от времени случается феномен – появляется личность, расширяющая возможности своего инструмента, открывающая его возможности публике заново. Такие личности не являются новаторами, революционерами; они виртуозы, хотя дело не только в совершенстве владения инструментом. Они гениальные исполнители, обладающие потрясающей энергетикой. Таким был SRV для блюза. Он появился удивительно вовремя – в начале 80-х, – когда, казалось, возможности блюза исчерпаны, и дал начало новому этапу его популярности.
При жизни Воэн, подобно Хендриксу, записал всего 4 студийных альбома. Репертуар регулярно выходящих посмертных компиляций и концертных изданий до обидного ограниченный: везде вы встретите одни и те же композиции. Впрочем, это нисколько не умаляет роли SRV.
Stephen Ray Vaughan родился 3 октября 1954 в Далласе в штате Техас в семье строительного рабочего. Первым стимулом заняться музыкой послужил пример брата Джимми (род. 1951), необыкновенно одаренного самоучки, ставшего со временем одним из символов блюзового гитаризма Техаса. От брата же СРВ получил первую гитару.
Первую группу Стивен организует в самом начале 70-х – Blackbird, а в 1971 ребята перебираются в Остин. В 1972 Стиви переходит в рок-группу Krackerjack, спустя несколько месяцев оставляет ее. Бас-гитарист из Krackerjack, Tommy Shannon, в будущем станет участником Double Trouble.
Известный в Остине музыкант Marc Benno приглашает Стиви в свою группу The Nightcrawlers. The Nightcrawlers приезжают в Голливуд для записи альбома на студии A&M. Компания A&M решает не издавать альбом, группа возвращается в Техас. В музыкальном магазине Стиви находит Стратокастер 59-го года, называет гитару "Number One", которая станет его любимой гитарой до конца жизни.
В середине 70-х переходит в популярную в городе группу Paul Ray and the Cobras. The Cobras выигрывают на местном конкурсе приз "Группа года".
В сентябре 1977 Стиви оставляет группу и собирает собственный коллектив Triple Threat Revue, чтобы играть блюз и ритм-н-блюз. Её участники: Stevie Ray, W.C. Clark (бас и вокал), Lou Ann Barton (вокал), Freddie "Pharoah" Walden (ударник) и Mike Kindred (клавишные), саксофонист Johnny Reno. Позже группу переименовывают в Triple Threat.
В декабре 1979 женится на Lenora (Lenny) Bailey.
В 1980 Barton покидает Triple Threat, Стиви переименовывает группу в Double Trouble и, кроме роли лид-гитариста, берёт на себя обязанность певца. Double Trouble выступают в клубе «Steamboat 1874». Концерт записывают для радио, в 1992-м году он будет выпущен в виде альбома «In The Beginning». В 1981 в группу приходит Tommy Shannon.
В апреле 1982 Стиви и Double Trouble играют на вечеринке Rolling Stones в Нью-Йорке. По рекомендации легендарного продюсера черной музыки Jerry Wexler группа выступает на международном джаз-фестивале в Монтрё (Швейцария): впервые в истории престижного фестиваля приглашается неизвестная и не имеющая дисков группа. David Bowie, который был на фестивале, приглашает Стиви участвовать в записи своего альбома «Let`s Dance» и в последующем мировом турне. Jackson Browne, который также услышал Double Trouble на фестивале, предлагает группе воспользоваться его студией в Лос-Анжелесе для записи диска. На этой студии за два дня записывается альбом «Texas Flood». Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble подписывают контракт с Epic Records, их куратором становится легендарный джазовый продюсер John Hammond.
13 июня 1983 выходит дебютный альбом «Texas Flood». Альбом получает премию «Грэмми». Стиви Рей будет побеждать в номинации "Best Electric Blues Guitarist" ежегодно до 1991-го.
Следующий альбом «Couldn`t Stand The Weather» выходит в мае 1984. В ноябре Стиви Рей получает две премии W.C. Handy National Blues Awards. Впервые в истории премии её вручают белому музыканту.
Для записи третьего альбома «Soul To Soul» к группе в 1985 присоединяется клавишник Reese Wynans. Альбом выходит в сентябре и становится третьим «золотым» диском Double Trouble, его вновь выдвигают на «Грэмми».
Отец Стивена, Джим, умирает от болезни Паркинсона в августе 1986.
В сентябре 1986, во время тура по Европе, многолетнее злоупотребление наркотиками и алкоголем даёт о себе знать. Медики ставят диагноз: привычка подмешивать кокаин к виски серьезно повредила желудок. Стиви с трудом выстоял еще два выступления, ему стало плохо прямо на сцене во время концерта в Лондоне, тур отменяют. Гитариста помещают в реабилитационную клинику для наркоманов.
15 ноября выходит записанный ранее «Live Alive».
В 1987 лечится от алкоголизма. В следующем году разводится с женой.
В июне 1989 выходит альбом «In Step». Это первый альбом, который был сделан Стиви Реем без употребления наркотиков и алкоголя. Песня "Crossfire" становится первым радио-хитом Стиви и зарабатывает ему еще одну «Грэмми» (номинация "Best Contemporary Blues Recording"). Double Trouble и Джефф Бек едут в совместный тур по Северной Америке.
30 января 1990 СРВ выступает с тремя песнями в "MTV Unplugged." В марте и апреле с братом Джимми записывается диск «Family Style». Альбом выходит позже в этом же году. В июне Стивен едет в двухмесячный тур с Joe Cocker.
26 августа Double Trouble выступают в East Troy, штат Висконсин. В концерте, который заканчивается за полночь, принимают участие Robert Cray, Eric Clapton и Buddy Guy. После выступления Стиви Рей садится в вертолет, чтобы лететь в Чикаго. Вертолет врезается в скрытую туманом гору. Вместе с СРВ погибли пилот и трое членов дорожной команды Эрика Клэптона.
Stevie Ray Vaughan похоронен на кладбище Laurel Land Cementary в Далласе. На церемонии присутствовали Billy Gibbons, Stevie Wonder, Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Ringo Starr и Dr. John. Стиви Рея провожали три тысячи его поклонников.

Stephen ("Stevie") Ray Vaughan, born in Dallas, Texas (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) was an American blues guitar legend, and is known as one of the most influential blues musicians in history.
Stevie Ray had been in numerous bands before joining blues rock combo Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble in the late 1970's.
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's debut album was released in 1983. The critically acclaimed Texas Flood (1983) featured the top-20 hit Pride and Joy and sold well in both blues and rock circles.
Stevie Ray Vaughan died August 27th, 1990 when his helicopter crashed into the Alpine Valley ski hill. He was on his way back from playing a guest appearance at an Eric Clapton concert at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin.
Adult life and career
Vaughan's first recording band was called Paul Ray and the Cobras. They played at clubs and bars in Austin during the mid-1970s, and released one single.[2] Vaughan later recorded two other singles under the band name The Cobras.[3] Stevie left the Cobras, leaving Denny Freeman still in his role of original lead guitarist, and formed Triple Threat in late 1975, which included bassist Jackie Newhouse, drummer Chris Layton, vocalist Lou Ann Barton, and sax player Johnny Reno. Barton left the band in 1978 to pursue a solo career, followed by Reno in 1979. The three remaining members started performing under the name Double Trouble, inspired by an Otis Rush song of the same name. Vaughan became the band's lead singer.
Tommy Shannon, the bass player on Johnny Winter's early albums, replaced Newhouse in 1981. A popular Austin act, Vaughan soon attracted the attention of musicians David Bowie and Jackson Browne. Both Browne and Bowie first caught Vaughan at the 1982 Montreux Jazz Festival, where some members of the audience booed the band because they disliked Double Trouble's hard blues sound; the crowd response was quite different when they were subsequently invited to headline "Blues Night" at the festival in 1985.
In November, 1982, Vaughan recorded in Jackson Browne's studio in downtown Los Angeles. The recordings were brought to the attention of A&R man John Hammond and became Double Trouble's critically acclaimed first album, Texas Flood (1983), produced by Hammond; it featured the Top 20 hit "Pride and Joy" and sold 500,000 copies, earning the band a gold record. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award, and its song "Rude Mood" was nominated for "Best Rock Instrumental". Vaughan won three categories in Guitar Player's readers poll: "Best New Talent", "Best Blues Album", and "Best Electric Blues Guitarist". He became the second guitarist to win three Guitar Player awards in one year (the first is Jeff Beck). Vaughan won the "Best Electric Blues Guitarist" award every year until 1991.
Also in 1983 Bowie featured Vaughan on his 1983 album Let's Dance.[4] Vaughan was asked to go on tour with Bowie, but declined so he could continue to play with Double Trouble. Reportedly, Vaughan, who was still driving a delivery truck to support himself, was furious when he saw Bowie pantomiming over Vaughan's guitar solo in the video for "Let's Dance".
The band's next album, Couldn't Stand the Weather, was recorded in January 1984. During mid-1984 Vaughan and Double Trouble made numerous TV appearances, performing on Rockpalast, MuchMusic, and Solid Gold.
During the Grammy Awards of 1984, Vaughan and George Thorogood presented Chuck Berry with a lifetime achievement award. "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" from Couldn't Stand The Weather was nominated for "Best Rock Instrumental Performance".
The band played Carnegie Hall in New York City on October 4, 1984. The show featured one Double Trouble set, and a second with guests Dr. John on keyboards, George Rains on drums, Jimmie Vaughan on guitar, Roomful of Blues Horns, and singer Angela Strehli. The group rehearsed in September 1984 at the Caravan of Dreams in Fort Worth, Texas.
In November, Vaughan won two W.C. Handy National Blues Awards: "Entertainer of the Year" and "Blues Instrumentalist of the Year". It was the first time a white person won either award. During this time, he also began recording with one of his earliest idols, blues-rock guitar pioneer Lonnie Mack, to produce the album Strike Like Lightning on the Alligator label.
In late January 1985, the band went on a six-night Japanese tour with various interviews and performances. In March, the band started to produce their third album Soul to Soul. Reese Wynans, a former keyboardist with Captain Beyond and Delbert McClinton's band, was added to the band not long after. The album's production lasted for two months. On April 10 Vaughan played "The Star Spangled Banner" for opening day of the National League baseball season at the Houston Astrodome (supposedly he didn't get a good audience response from that crowd; he did, at least, get to meet former New York Yankee great Mickey Mantle afterwards). Soul to Soul was released on September 30, 1985; Vaughan received his fifth Grammy nomination: "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" for one of its songs, "Say What!".
In the following months of 1986, Vaughan and Double Trouble went on tour in New Zealand. It was around this time that he met Janna Lapidus, a touring model in New Zealand.
In mid-1986, the band was considering ideas of a new album, particularly a live album. Shows were set up at the Austin Opera House and at the Dallas Starfest. Audiences saw Vaughan struggle through these shows, as some of the original recordings were filled with technical difficulties.
On August 27, 1986, the Vaughan brothers' father, Big Jim, passed away of heart failure. A funeral was arranged two days later. The boys rushed home to comfort their mother, yet had little time to mourn. After the funeral was finished, a jet rushed Vaughan to Montreal, Quebec, where he played the "Labatt Blues Fest" (in Quebec, so named for their flagship beer "Labatt Blue"), known elsewhere as the "Miller Beer Festival" in Jarry Park.
The recordings in both Dallas and Austin, as well as the Montreux Jazz Festival, were edited and later released on Live Alive in November 1986.
