(2007-11-06) Stevie Ray Vaughan ~ "Solos, Sessions And Encores" CD, "Pride And Joy&qu

It looks like there are a couple of things coming out soon from SRV.

There's the Solos, Sessions & Encores CD, but I have no idea what's on it.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PC8AFU/?tag=imwan-20

There's also a DVD with eight videos on it, called Pride and Joy.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OHZKJA/?tag=imwan-20

Both are due in early September from Sony.

And it looks like I missed his Live in Tokyo CD and DVD from last summer. Did anyone ever pick these up? I read somewhere that they're taken from a video bootleg, so the quality may not be great.

Updated thread title with new release date and added pre-order links. ~ Linda

I have that Tokyo DVD-- it's live in 1985 with Double Trouble doing tracks up through Soul To Soul. Quality is actaully quite outstanding. If you're looking for live SRV, though, track down Live At Ripley Hall 10-20-83 in Philly-- I think it's even better than the El Mocambo set.

Was "LIVE IN TOKYO" an official SBMG release? I saw the cover online somewhere and just figured it was a boot. (Not that I have anything against boots!)

A while back SBMG also announced that in 2007 there would be a "DUETS" album which really concerned me. If its a collection of live jams etc...I'm in. If its classic material with new recordings by other artists overdubbed onto them...well, Sony wouldn't do that to poor old Stevie Ray would they?

I mean really, would they?

BETTER than the ElMo set?? Is that even possible?

If its anywhere close to it, I'm going to have to track that thing down!

Is this a CD or DVD Jeff?

They also re-released the first Greatest Hits disc "The Real Deal, Vol One" with a few quality add-ons. (I know you all know this but what the hey)

Thanks! 8-)

from Amazon.com--
The blues-rock guitar hero's studio vaults were nearly empty when he died in an August 27, 1990, helicopter crash. This set unearths a 1978 Austin session track of "You Can Have My Husband" with Vaughan as second fiddle to his then girlfriend, singer Lou Ann Barton, but it's undistinguished compared to the previously unreleased live performances that compose this disc's heart. Vaughan contributes teeth-baring pentatonic solos to Lonnie Mack's "Oreo Cookie Blues" at Atlanta's Fox Theatre in 1986 and brings his bullish tone to the late blues piano stomper Katie Webster's "On the Run" at the 1988 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Bonnie Raitt's distinctively keening slide adds elegance to a "Texas Flood" from Bumbershoot 1985 in Seattle, and when Stevie's older sibling Jimmie Vaughan stops by Saturday Night Live to play rhythm on a 1985 "Change It," li'l bro' squeezes out screaming fireworks. But the best cut's a breathtaking '88 Jazz Fest slugfest with Texas Telecaster blaster Albert Collins that's jammed with howling, shaken notes and machine-gun riffing. Both are in top form. The rest is culled from Vaughan's guest appearances on others' releases or previous retrospectives and include matches with blues godfathers B.B. King and Albert King, as well as Johnny Copeland and A.C. Reed, Jeff Beck, Austin barrelhouser Marcia Ball, surf guitar king Dick Dale, and David Bowie, whose "Let's Dance" introduced Vaughan to the mainstream in 1983. --Ted Drozdowski

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Friends: Solos, Sessions & Encores
10/9/2007 1:53:00 PM
Stevie Ray Vaughan

Like the greatest 20th century blues and rock guitarists who preceded him, many of whom were primal influences on his journeyman lifestyle and unpredictable musical outlook, Stevie Ray Vaughan (1954-1990) was always ready, willing and able to jam. Whether it was a rhythm section backup assignment in the recording studio for another singer or instrumental ist, or a live drop-in onstage at a nightclub or festival, his presence enhanced every session he made, and left some unforgettable music in its wake.

For the first time, an entire album collection is devoted to this side of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s career. SOLOS, SESSIONS & ENCORES gathers 14 varied performances – half of them live, including the near-mythic 1984 jam with Jeff Beck at the CBS Records Convention in Honolulu. With one 1978 exception, the album spans five of his years as an Epic Records artist, from 1983 to 1988. There are album session tracks with Albert King, B.B. King, Paul Butterfield, Marcia Ball, Johnny Copeland, A.C. Reed, Bill Carter, Dick Dale, and David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” (the worldwide #1 chart smash that ignited Stevie Ray’s stardom in 1983) – plus six previously unreleased tracks (five of them live) with Lonnie Mack, Katie Webster, Albert Collins, Jimmie Vaughan, Lou Ann Barton, and Bonnie Raitt.

SOLOS, SESSIONS & ENCORES will arrive in stores November 6th on Epic/Legacy, a division of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAIN MENT. The same date marks the arrival of the first DVD edition of PRIDE AND JOY, the updated and expanded version of the 1990 video collection, which now more than doubles its original VHS length and contents. The new DVD reprises the original eight segments (six promo video clips shot for four of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble’s studio albums, plus two live numbers) and now adds a bonus promo video clip, three MTV “Unplugged” acoustic numbers, two television commercials, and performances with Stevie Ray’s older brother Jimmie in the Vaughan Brothers (along with the EPK created for that band).

While PRIDE AND JOY digs into the history of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, SOLOS, SESSIONS & ENCORES focuses on the versatile sideman talents of one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived. “Stevie had great reverence for his favorite musicians, and great respect for the friendship he shared with them,” writes Andy Aledort, Associate Editor, Guitar World magazine, in his 1,300-word liner notes essay. Aledort previously scribed liner notes for the SRV box set (2000), The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan (2002), and The Real Deal: Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 (2006). “The warm, personal bond Stevie had forged with all of the guest artists presented here is a quality that is audible in each and every track.”

SOLOS, SESSIONS & ENCORES pays homage out-of-the-box to Stevie Ray in the company of three blues masters – guitarists B.B. King and the late Albert King, and the late blues harmonica great Paul Butterfield, on “The Sky Is Crying”, the Elmore James classic that became a Double Trouble signature. The song was recorded live at the Ebony Showcase Theater in Los Angeles in 1987, for the long-form home video, B.B. King & Friends - A Night Of Blistering Blues.

Three more blues masters, who have all passed on, called up Stevie Ray: fellow Texan-turned New Yorker Johnny Copeland with “Don’t Stop By The Creek, Son,” from his 1983 album Texas Twister; Chicago tenor saxophonist A.C. Reed, who played alongside Albert Collins for years, with the instrumental “Miami Strut,” from 1987’s I’m In The Wrong Business; and the Iceman himself, guitarist Albert Collins, is heard with Stevie on the previously unreleased live version “Albert’s Shuffle”, from the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 1988.

Also at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 1988, local Crescent City pianist/vocalist Katie Webster brought Stevie onstage for the previously unreleased live version of “On The Run,” whose original studio version featured Bonnie Raitt on guitar (from Katie’s album released that year, Swamp Boogie Queen). As for Bonnie, Stevie Ray caught up with her in 1985, at the Bumber shoot Fest in Washington state, for the previously unreleased live version of “Texas Flood,” the Larry Davis blues that became another Double Trouble signature (and album title tune).

Two equally distinctive Texas-bred female rockers are heard with Stevie Ray: the title track of blues pianist/vocalist Marcia Ball’s 1984 album Soulful Dress gets a blistering solo from the guitarist; and from the previously unreleased Triple Threat Revue 1978 sessions in Nashville with singer Lou Ann Barton and bassist/vocalist W.C. Clark, comes their take on the Irma Thomas novelty, “You Can Have My Husband.”

Two major 1960s-era electric guitar innovators whom Stevie Ray idolized were Lonnie Mack (of “Memphis” fame) and surf-rock honcho Dick Dale. Mack’s 1985 album, Strike Like Lightning, was produced by Stevie Ray and featured him on several tracks, one of which, “Oreo Cookie Blues,” is heard here in a previously unreleased live version recorded on New Year’s Eve 1986 at the Fox Theater in Atlanta.

The following year, on the Columbia sound track album Back To The Beach, Stevie Ray realized another lifelong ambition when he recorded a duet with Dick Dale on the Chantays’ instrumental workout “Pipeline” – which Stevie and brother Jimmie used to perform together simultaneously on the same doubleneck guitar back in the day. As for Jimmie, he joined Double Trouble for one night in 1985 on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, when they were promoting their new Epic album, Soul To Soul. They performed two songs, one of which was this previously unreleased live version of Doyle Bramhall’s “Change It.”

SOLOS, SESSIONS & ENCORES comes full circle with its closing track, David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance”, heard here in its full-length seven and a half-minute album version. In his 2004 liner notes essay for the Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble two-disc DVD chronicle, Live At Montreux 1982 & 1985, Bowie wrote: “Come the show, blasting through a short but riveting set, SRV completely floored me. I probably hadn’t been so gung-ho about a guitar player since seeing Jeff Beck in the early ’60s with his band the Tridents at Eel Pie Island, London. He was so complete, so vital and inventive with the form.”

Just tidying up the forum a little bit.

Moving Beauvoir's thread here from a duplicate thread ...

I am relieved to hear that this is not a disc of post-production duets (like the upcoming Elvis & Lisa Marie single) which I was in fear of.

However...why on earth are they not releasing the incredible 83 performance for Toronto's El Mocambo Club on CD?

It's out on DVD so obviously it's not a rights issue.

IMO this is one of SRV's most incredible performances and it was actually caught on tape!
So release it already!!!

I just wonder about what the estate is releasing these days...
