Stevie Ray Vaughan was already an underground hero in blues circles and had begun earning national attention for his hard-edged-but-tasteful playing on David Bowie's Let's Dance album when this solo debut arrived. Produced by legendary talent scout John Hammond, the CD captures the rising guitar star tending fields seeded by earlier legends Buddy Guy, Albert King, and Jimi Hendrix. His own "Lenny," a tribute to his then wife, suggests a jazz-inclined complexity that would emerge in later recordings. But overall this album is the kind of raw double shot of blues and rock that made Vaughan one of the 1980s' best in-concert performers. --Ted Drozdowski
Album Description

 SRV Texas Flood November 23, 2008
John Mishefske
Great album but I was disappointed in my purchase since this is really just a stereo version (albeit better quality) where I was expecting to have a surround sound (5.1) version of the album since it is SACD.
I guess I'm spoiled by Genesis/Trick of the Tail and Floyd/Dark Side of the Moon.
 sound not so good August 20, 2008
Seulean Tudor Iustin (Cluj, Romania)
I just got this SACD and have a few comments about its sound quality, which is a bit disappointing. First of all, it's a STEREO SACD (as opposed to a multichannel one) and it does not play on a regular CD player as most other SACDs do (as the product info on Amazon rightly points out). And on my surround system the sound of this recording is poor (compared to any other SACD or DVD audio that I own; actually, even compared to most regular CDs I own!). The 2 stars are just for the sound quality, not the actual music!
 Same initial thought here SRV on SACD? May 15, 2008
K. C Wilson (Sacramento, CA)
Gotta admit, definitely better than the regular or remastered cd.
I'm able to pick up a little better what his hand is doing as it crosses
strings. His ability to use all of his hands (fingers, palms) to drive rhythm and timing was just exceptional. Never did get a chance to see this man play.
Still looking for the other SACD version of "Couldn't stand the Weather". Not all stereo sacds provide enough there to improve on the regular cd.
Best SACD stereo mix bought to date is the "Dances with Wolves" soundtrack.
That said, peace SRV
A perfect blues album July 6, 2007

I just love this cd, perfect blues played by a great guitar player and his band. If you want to be introduce to blues, this is the way to go.
You'll love this album. We miss you Stevie Ray !
The SACD release is quite excellent! March 16, 2005

I strongly agree with Mr. Steinhauer's comments regarding the quality of this SACD release. If you enjoyed the LP (as I have for many years since it's original release), you will rediscover how good this recording is (and of course the music itself). For reference, I am playing the disc on a McCormack UDP-1. Both clarity and depth are outstanding. Man, this is good SRV. (Now I wish there was an SACD release of "The Sky is Crying!")
