Stevie Ray Vaughan
Stephen "Stevie" Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) was an American blues-rock guitarist, whose broad appeal made him one of the world's most influential electric blues guitarists.[1] Known for his warm blues rock tone, Vaughan characteristically used very heavy strings on his guitar ranging from 11 to 16-gauge sets to give a fuller sound which he tuned down a half-step to the key of E flat. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Stevie Ray Vaughan #7 in their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,[2] and Classic Rock Magazine ranked him #3 in their list of the 100 Wildest Guitar Heroes in 2007. He was the younger brother of Jimmie Vaughan, born 1951.
[edit] Life and career
[edit] Early life
Vaughan was born at 05:13 am on Saturday, October 3, 1954 in Dallas, Texas and was raised in the city's Oak Cliff neighborhood. Neither of his parents had any strong musical talent but were avid music fans. They would take Vaughan and his older brother Jimmie to concerts to see Fats Domino, Johnny Williamson III, Jimmy Reed, and Bob Wills.
Even though Vaughan initially wanted to play the drums as his primary instrument, Michael Quinn gave him a guitar when he was seven years old. Vaughan's brother, Jimmie Vaughan, gave him his first guitar lessons. Vaughan was later quoted in Guitar Player as saying, "My brother Jimmie actually was one of the biggest influences on my playing. He really was the reason I started to play, watching him and seeing what could be done."[citation needed] He played entirely by ear and never learned how to read sheet music. By the time he was thirteen years old he was playing in clubs where he met many of his blues idols. A few years later he dropped out of Justin F. Kimball High School in Oak Cliff and moved to Austin to pursue music. Vaughan's talent caught the attention of guitarist Johnny Winter and blues-club owner Clifford Antone.
[edit] Adult life and career
Vaughan's first band was called Paul Ray and the Cobras. They played at clubs and bars in Austin during the mid-1970s, and released one single.[3] Vaughan later recorded two other singles under the band name The Cobras.[4] Vaughan 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. On December 20, 1979, Vaughan married Lenora Darlene "Lenny" Bailey, for whom the instrumental "Lenny" on Texas Flood was written. The two would divorce in 1988.
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 rehearsal 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.[5] 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 and Solid Gold.
During the Grammy Awards of 1984, Vaughan and George Thorogood presented Chuck Berry with a lifetime achievement award. "Rude Mood" from Texas Flood 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. Vaughan originally envisioned the concert to come out on a full-length video, but the project was shelved when the band went in to record their "next-to-be" album, Soul to Soul, due to their performance schedule and pressure to write new material.
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 tour in Japan 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 without good audience response[6]). Soul to Soul was released on September 30, 1985 and Vaughan subsequently received his fifth Grammy nomination (for "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 for 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, died 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 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.
[edit] Drugs and alcoholism
Drug addiction and alcoholism took a toll on Vaughan by mid-1986. Cocaine and Crown Royal whiskey were his drugs of choice. Vaughan would dissolve cocaine in his whiskey for a morning "pick-me-up", which doctors later discovered was causing severe ulceration of the stomach lining. After becoming acutely ill in Germany while on tour, Vaughan managed to struggle through three more shows, but was soon admitted into a hospital in London. Dr. Victor Bloom, who had helped Eric Clapton and Pete Townshend with their addictions, told Vaughan if he hadn't come to the hospital he would have died in a month. After a struggle to get sober in London, he then flew to Atlanta, Georgia to a rehabilitation center. He eventually recovered fully from his addictions in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous.
[edit] Redemption
Upon his return from rehab, Vaughan worked with a number of artists including Dick Dale (making a cameo appearance as himself performing a duet of "Pipeline" in the movie Back to the Beach, which was then released as a single), Jennifer Warnes, and Stevie Wonder (playing "Superstition" on the MTV special "Stevie Wonder's Characters").
In 1988, Vaughan continued to tour with Double Trouble throughout Scandinavia. Vaughan and Double Trouble recorded In Step in February 1989, which was their fourth studio album and praised by some as the band's best work since Texas Flood. The album won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. Vaughan shared a headline tour with guitarist Jeff Beck in the fall of 1989. In his beloved Austin, the city he made the "Live Music Capital of the World", Vaughan was presented with a proclamation from the mayor declaring November 26, 1989 Stevie Ray Vaughan Day.
On January 3, 1990, Vaughan gave a speech and addressed the Aquarius Chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous. On January 30, Vaughan made his first appearance on MTV Unplugged in New York City. It was originally scheduled for Vaughan to do a closing jam with Joe Satriani, but Vaughan said he had to leave right away.
Vaughan spoke two years earlier about wanting to help produce an album with his brother, Jimmie Vaughan. That time came in March 1990, when the Vaughan Brothers went to work at the Dallas Sound Lab, the same studio used to record Soul to Soul.
Around this time, Vaughan said that singing was becoming painful for him due to a condition he called "hamburger throat". He received acupuncture to his neck, but still had to take cortisone shots to relieve the pain, which caused his face to swell.
On August 26 and 27, 1990, Vaughan and Double Trouble finished the summer portion of the In Step Tour with shows at Alpine Valley Music Theatre, just outside of East Troy, Wisconsin. The show also featured Robert Cray & His Memphis Horns, and Eric Clapton, who played the closing set. At the end of the show, as fog settled over the audience in the arena, Clapton introduced Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robert Cray, and Jimmie Vaughan. The musicians chose the appropriately titled "Sweet Home Chicago", a blues classic written by Robert Johnson. After the twenty-minute jam, the lights went up and the musicians went backstage to trade compliments. Clapton and Vaughan talked about future dates in London to pay a tribute to Jimi Hendrix.
Double Trouble drummer, Chris Layton, recalls his last conversation with Vaughan backstage. He then remembers Vaughan saying he had to call his girlfriend, Janna Lapidus, in Chicago, before heading out the door to the helicopters, which had been arranged for flight (through Omni Flights) by Skip Rickert, Double Trouble's tour manager.
The musicians had expected a long bus ride back to Chicago. However, Vaughan was informed by a member of Clapton's crew that three seats were open on one of the helicopters returning to Chicago with Clapton's crew, enough for Vaughan, his brother Jimmie, and Jimmie's wife Connie. It turned out there was only one seat left; Vaughan requested it from his brother, who obliged. At 12:44 am pilot Jeffrey Browne guided the helicopter off the ground. Moments after takeoff the helicopter crashed into a ski slope and all five on board were killed. Although the crash occurred only 0.6 miles from takeoff, it went unnoticed by those at the concert site.
The search for the wreckage had begun at 5am and had been found at 7am via the help of its locator beacon.[7] The main cause of the crash was believed to be pilot error.[8] [9] Vaughan's was the only body found outside of the wreckage, suggesting he may have survived the initial crash.
Chris Layton and Jimmie Vaughan did not find out about the crash until they returned to the motel in Chicago. The following morning Jimmie and Eric Clapton were called to identify the bodies. The coroner's report stated that the cause of death was exsanguination caused by severing of the aorta.
The media initially stated that Vaughan and his band had been killed in the crash. Layton and Shannon called their families to let them know they were okay.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is interred in the Laurel Land Memorial Park, Dallas, Texas.[10]
[edit] Posthumous events and recognition
September 1990 saw the release of Family Style.
The 1991 album The Sky Is Crying was the first of several posthumous Vaughan releases to achieve chart success. Jimmie Vaughan later co-wrote and recorded a song in tribute to his brother and other deceased blues guitarists, entitled "Six Strings Down".
Many other artists recorded songs in remembrance of Vaughan, including Eric Johnson,[11] Buddy Guy and Steve Vai ("Jibboom" on the album The Ultra Zone, 1999).
In 1991, Texas governor Ann Richards proclaimed October 3, Vaughan's birthday, to be "Stevie Ray Vaughan Day". An annual motorcycle ride and concert in Central Texas benefits the Stevie Ray Vaughan Memorial Scholarship Fund.[12]
In 1992, the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation released the Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Stratocaster, which Vaughan had helped design. As of 2007, the model is still in production). In 2004, Fender also released a limited edition exact replica of "Number One".[13]
Stephen King's short story "You Know They Got a Hell of a Band" concerns a small town called Rock and Roll Heaven that's populated by late rock musicians, one of which is Vaughan himself when he's referred to as one of the late music legends set to perform at a concert.
In 1994, the city of Austin erected the Stevie Ray Vaughan Memorial Statue at Auditorium Shores on Lady Bird Lake (30°15′47.1774″N 97°45′2.4228″W / 30.263104833, -97.750673), the site of a number of Vaughan's concerts. It has become one of the city's most popular tourist attractions.
In 2000, Stevie Ray Vaughan was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.
Musicians such as John Mayer, Robert Randolph, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Colin James, Jonny Lang, Jason Wayne Loftice, Los Lonely Boys, Mike McCready, Eric Johnson and Doyle Bramhall II have cited Vaughan as an influence.
The last guitar that Vaughan played prior to his death is on display in the Hard Rock Cafe in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
In November 2007, Fender Musical Instruments Corporation released a second tribute to Vaughan, an exact replica of his second beloved guitar: Lenny. This guitar was given to him by his wife Lennora ("Lenny") on his 26th birthday and Vaughan was very fond of it. According to Fender, the original Lenny was a 1965 Strat that he saw in the window of a pawn shop that he was unable to afford. The guitar is sold with a strap, a case with Vaughan's name embroidered in the fabric lining, a number of brochures and memorabilia and a leather bound certificate of authenticity.
Also in November 2007, Sony BMG, Epic Records, and Legacy Records released the CD Stevie Ray Vaughan & Friends: Solos, Sessions & Encores.
Stevie Ray Vaughan will become eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.[14]
In 2008, residents voted to rename Dallas' Industrial Boulevard, with Vaughan's name being one of the finalists alongside Stanley Marcus, Eddie Bernice Johnson, and Cesar Chavez. [1]
[edit] Musical influences and style
Vaughan's blues style was strongly influenced by many blues guitarists. Foremost among them were Albert King, who dubbed himself Stevie's "godfather", Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, and Jimi Hendrix. The song "Rude Mood" is a direct derivative (according to SRV himself) of a Lightnin' Hopkins tune called "Lightning Sky Hop". He was also strongly influenced by early blues-rock guitarist Lonnie Mack, who, according to Vaughan himself, "really taught me to play guitar from the heart" (Davis, History of the Blues, DaCapo 2003, p. 246). Vaughan, who had idolized Mack since childhood, produced and played on Mack's 1985 Alligator Records album "Strike Like Lightning" [15] and covered two Mack tunes from the early 1960s, "Wham!" and "Chicken-Pickin'" (which Vaughan renamed "Scuttle Buttin'").
Vaughan's sound and playing style, which often incorporated simultaneous lead and rhythm parts, drew frequent comparisons to Hendrix; Vaughan covered several Hendrix tunes on his studio albums and in performance, such as "Little Wing", "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", and "Third Stone from the Sun". He was also heavily influenced by Freddie King, another Texas bluesman, mainly in the use of tone and attack; King's heavy vibrato can clearly be heard in Vaughan's playing. Another stylistic influence was Albert Collins. By utilizing his index finger as a pick a la Albert Collins, he was able to coax various tonal nuances from his amplifiers. Vaughan's brother Jimmie Vaughan has stated that Johnny "Guitar" Watson was the guitarist he and Vaughan studied the most.
Vaughan worked with only the support of bass and drums for a long time before Wynans joined the group. He exhibited an amazing command of feedback, volume, and distortion. He could play lead and rhythm simultaneously with the rare ability to rattle out massive chord clusters and piercing barrages of single notes with incredible precision, drenching them in exotic tones produced by pickup switches, wah-wah pedals, and overamplification.

Vaughan is recognized for his distinctive guitar sound, which was partly based on using heavy gauge guitar strings that he tuned down a half-step. This created a thick, clanging tone which also remained clear and undistorted. Vaughan used a wide range of vacuum tube amplifiers during his career, often using multiple different amplifiers simultaneously, but is usually associated with early Fender amplifiers and amplifiers made by boutique amp-maker Alexander (Howard) Dumble. His influence is often credited for helping to launch the "vintage gear" movement among guitarists, which turned old musical equipment that could once be had fairly cheaply into expensive collector's items.
Stevie used Fender Mediums played "upside-down", or with the round edge of the pick. Although he tried some Planet Waves Delrin 1.14mm picks, Dunlop 1.10mm picks, and Fender Heavies also played upside down. Around 1985-1987, his picks were customized "multi-colored" picks with his name on them. They were equivalent to Fender Mediums.
He also had a Mighty-Mite brass slide that he used for songs like "Give Me Back My Wig" and "Boot Hill".
Strings were always GHS Custom Nickel Rockers: .013", .015", .019", .028", .038", .058". Around 1989, Vaughan's guitar tech told him to move to a lighter gauge on the 1st string to save his fingers. He would then use a .011" for the 1st string.
As seen in many photos and videos, Stevie had gaffers tape put on the amp grille cloth in front of the speaker cone to eliminate the harsh upper frequencies coming from the center of the cone.
[edit] Early 1980s equipment

Vaughan was known to combine different tube amplifiers to make his sound. Starting with the very early years, in 1980, his primary amplifiers were just two Fender Vibroverbs that both had a JBL E130-8 15" speakers. In 1981, he would have 2 Marshall Club & Country Combo amps onstage: one 2x12" and a 4x10" that had Celestion G12-80 speakers in them. It is most likely that he set these amps with all the controls on "7", because during his Hendrix cover of "Manic Depression", he would run his hand under all the controls, putting the controls on 10.
He traded these in the spring of 1983 and used a Fender 4x10" Super Reverb for clean sounds instead of the Marshalls. Along with the Super Reverb, he had the two Fender Vibroverbs. Settings in this period on the Super Reverb were with the "Bright" switch off, Input 1 in the "Vibrato" channel, Volume on 4-6, Treble on 4 ½, Mid on 4, Bass on 3, and Reverb on 2 ½.
In late 1983, Vaughan ordered an 150-watt Dumble Steel String Singer made by Howard Dumble in California, along with a Dumble 4x12" speaker cabinet and used these with his two Fender Vibroverbs. He also briefly used a Dumble Overdrive Special, but didn't like the sound of it.
In 1984, Vaughan used the same two Fender Vibroverbs and the Dumble SSS and cabinet, along with a newly acquired "Leslie-style" Fender Vibratone cabinet. It consisted of a 10" speaker with a Styrofoam "drum", or rotor, with two slots in the sides. One of the Vibroverbs was used to drive the Fender Vibratone. Amp settings in the "Vibrato" channel on his Vibroverbs were set with Volume on 5 ½, Treble on 10, and Bass on 5 ½. On his Dumble SSS, he set the Treble and Middle on 6, Bass on 4, Hi and Low-Step Filters on 7, Reverb Send and Return on 6 ½, and Master on 8.
Vaughan upgraded to Electro-Voice EVM speakers in all of his amps around 1984, because of the high tolerance to speakers blowing up and clarity.
On his pedalboard, he used an Ibanez Tube Screamer with a Vox wah pedal. Stevie didn't use a pair of each on stage, but did this in the studio for the "Soul to Soul" recording sessions. He also had an MXR Loop Selector to bypass any effects.
[edit] Mid 1980s equipment
For Stevie's Japan Tour, Vaughan compiled a rig consisting of 2 Fender Vibroverbs, a Fender Vibratone stacked on top of its road case, a "silverface" Fender Twin Reverb with a Fender Super Reverb on top, and a "blackface" Twin Reverb in the back, set on top of its road case.
The pedalboard had the TS-9 Tube Screamer, the Vox wah-wah, and the MXR Loop Selector.
A photo of this rig can be found on John Mayer's official website blog: Japan rig 1985
In mid-1985, Vaughan had more of collection of amps by this time. His amps in this period included the two Fender Vibroverbs (one driving the Fender Vibratone), the Dumble SSS driving a Marshall 8x10" cabinet, and a Fender 4x10" Super Reverb stacked atop a Dumble 4x12" cabinet.
In 1986, he had the a two Vibroverbs (one driving the Vibratone), a Marshall 8x10" cabinet, and a newer "blackface" Dumble SSS.
His effects remained the same except for a briefly used Univox Univibe with the expression pedal in 1986.
[edit] Late 1980s equipment
Around early 1987, he would just use 2 Fender Vibroverbs and 2 Fender Super Reverbs stacked atop each other, with a Fender Vibratone on the very top. Later in the year, as shown in the photo to the right, he had a blackface Fender Twin Reverb to the very right, 2 Dumble Steel String Singers stacked atop a Fender Super Reverb, a Fender Vibratone on top of a Marshall 8x10" cabinet, and a silverface Fender Twin Reverb to the very left.
In 1988, amps included a 200-watt Marshall Major power head, a Dumble SSS head (each driving a Dumble 4x12" cabinet), and a Fender Vibratone. In this case, the Dumble was used to drive the Vibratone.
The effects were the same throughout this period. The Tube Screamer was upgraded to a TS-10 Classic, used with the Vox wah-wah, and the MXR Loop Selector.
In 1989, he changed his rig around a little, but basically the same sound. He had 2 Fender Super Reverbs, with a Dumble SSS and a Marshall Major atop each, and a Fender Vibroverb driving the Fender Vibratone.
He took a couple of Fender '59 Bassman Reissues on the road in 1990 and used these with a Vibroverb driving the Vibratone. On the '59 Bassman, he plugged a cable into "Normal" Input 1 with the Volume on 8, Treble 8, Middle 7, Bass 6, and Prescence on 8. He used the stock tubes and the EVMs in these as well.
He also added more "Hendrix" effects to his pedalboard, acquiring two Arbiter Fuzz Faces (one "Dallas-Arbiter" and the silver, England version) and a couple of Octavias: one Roger Mayer version, and a Tycobrahe Octavia. He kept the TS-10 Tube Screamer and Vox wah-wah.
