More like a National Flood if you understand the expression played by THE man Stevie Ray Vaughn. What better way than to kick off this blog than with a little bit of Blues. Afterall, with the current state of the economy, we all got the Blues!
Some say he's over-rated... I say he often over-looked when it comes to Blues guitarists who know how to play with sould an emotion.

Long version of Texas Flood by stevie ray vaughn ! Texas Flood is an electric blues album by blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band Double Trouble, released in 1983.
Although "Texas Flood" has three verses of lyrics, the song is more of a prolonged guitar solo, allowing Vaughan to show off his characteristic electric blues style. During live shows, he would often play portions of this song behind his back, arousing an enthusiastic crowd response. Stylistically, "Texas Flood" is structured around the common three chord blues progression. Written and performed in the key of G (sounding F# because of Vaughan's tuning), it is in 12/8 time, or compound time[1], which gives it a "slow burning" feel that is common in Texas blues.
enjoy.
