Summary:
“An oral background is only as good as its sources, and ‘Texas Flood’ is comprehensive and far-reaching, with Vaughan’s bandmates, crew and family taking middle stage.” – New York Times Reserve Review
This program is read by a full cast and features exclusive bonus material, including a never-before-heard conversation between Stevie Ray Vaughan and his brother, Jimmie Vaughan.
The first definitive biography of guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughan, with an epilogue by Jimmie Vaughan, and foreword and about Texas Flood: THE WITHIN Story of Stevie Ray Vaughan afterword by Increase Trouble’s Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon.
Just a couple years after he nearly died from a severe dependence on cocaine and alcohol, a clean and sober Stevie Ray Vaughan was riding high. His last album was his most critically lauded and commercially effective. He had satisfied a lifelong fantasy by collaborating along with his first and biggest musical hero, his brother Jimmie. His tumultuous marriage was over and he is at a new and healthy partnership. Vaughan seemed poised for a fresh, limitless section of his existence and career.
Instead, it all came to a surprising and unexpected end on August 27, 1990, when he was wiped out inside a helicopter crash carrying out a dynamic efficiency with Eric Clapton. Simply 35 years of age, he left out a powerful musical legacy and an limitless stream of What Ifs. In the ensuing 29 years, Vaughan’s story and acclaim have only expanded and he’s right now an undisputed worldwide musical icon. Despite the cinematic scope of Vaughan’s lifestyle and death, there’s never been a truly proper accounting of his story. Until now.
Texas Flood supplies the unadulterated truth about Stevie Ray Vaughan from those that knew him best: his sibling Jimmie, his Increase Difficulty bandmates Tommy Shannon, Chris Layton and Reese Wynans, and several other close friends, family members, girlfriends, fellow musicians, managers and crew members.
The program is read by Alan Paul, Andy Aledort, Chris Layton, Leslie Ligon, Greg Littlefield, Denny Freeman, Leon Nixon, Joe Priesnitz, Tommy Shannon, and Reese Wynans.
