The legendary blues rock guitarist Jimmie Vaughan sees his life’s work documented here with a five-disc box set that explores his humble beginnings in the ’60s and goes all the way up to his most recent work. The box set even comes with never before seen photos and writings included in the very thick book in the package.<\/p>\n
Disc one starts with several tunes from The Fabulous Thunderbirds, a band he founded in 1974, where tracks like \u201cPlease Don’t Lie To Me\u201d and \u201cWhy Get Up\u201d showcase the raw and rhythmic retro blues rock. By disc towo, we’re treated to powerful duets with heavy hitters like Albert Collins (\u201cCold Cold Feeling\u201d), Jimmy Rodgers (\u201cYou’re Sweet\u201d), and Lou Ann Barton (\u201cSugar Coated Love\u201d).<\/p>\n
Disc three is stacked full of excellent tracks including the highly melodic collaboration with Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Dr. John and Art Neville on \u201cSix Strings Down,\u201d while the frisky and dance floor ready \u201cHe’s Got A Key\u201d welcomes Bo Diddley into the bouncy climate. <\/p>\n
Further still, \u201cDirty Girl\u201d displays Vaughan’s inimitable guitar playing alongside the meticulous rhythm section, and on \u201cLet The Good Times Roll,\u201d he’s in the company of Susan Tedeschi for the soulful, festive rocker. There are a few tracks from Vaughan\u2019s early band, Storm, on the last disc, as well as the vocally soaring \u201cShake Hands\u201d and the closing track, \u201cBaby, Please Come Home,\u201d which brings bright brass to the timeless blues.<\/p>\n
The deluxe box set even adds a first issue vinyl copy of Vaughan’s 2001 album Do You Get The Blues?, <\/i>a pair of 7\u201d singles and an autographed replica of the cover to the five discs, making it essential for the diehard fan. <\/p>\n
Now in his seventies, Vaughan is still at it and as relevant as ever. The aptly titled The Jimmie Vaughan Story <\/i>shows us where it all started, how it progressed, and where it is today, and it captures the true spirit and talent of the artist as well as any box set you\u2019re going to find out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":34435,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[8738],"rating":[5646],"class_list":["post-46274","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-jimmie-vaughan","rating-rating-a"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/89"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46274\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=46274"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=46274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
