Our Take

When it comes to Texas blues, Stevie Ray Vaughan is a name that demands respect. And with "The Sky Is Crying", his posthumous album with Double Trouble, Vaughan proves once again why he's considered a guitar god among mortals.

The album opens with the title track, a blistering instrumental that showcases Vaughan's hauntingly beautiful guitar work. His fingers fly across the fretboard with a precision and speed that is truly awe-inspiring. It's like he's channelling the spirits of blues greats past, present, and future.

Tracks like "Empty Arms" and "Close to You" show Vaughan's more vulnerable side, with soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics that tug at the heartstrings. And on "Little Wing", his cover of the Jimi Hendrix classic, Vaughan pays homage to one of his biggest influences with a stunning display of technical prowess.

But it's on the more upbeat tracks like "Chitlins con Carne" and "Boot Hill" that Vaughan really shines. The energy is infectious, and you can't help but tap your foot and nod your head along to the groove.

Overall, "The Sky Is Crying" is a testament to Vaughan's immense talent and enduring legacy. It's a must-listen for any blues enthusiast, and a fitting tribute to a musician taken from us far too soon. Rest in peace, Stevie Ray. Your music lives on.
