Then he comes on with a version of Freddie King's "Hideaway" that chugs like a locomotive. There's also a heretofore unheard slide-guitar-powered "Give Me Back My Wig" and a blueprint of what became Soul to Soul's US radio hit "Look at Little Sister". All those follow the improved mixes of the original CD, which include Vaughan's heartbreak chronicles "Couldn't Stand the Weather" and "Cold Shot"; his first jazzer, "Stang's Swang"; and his initial Hendrix outing, "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)". It's the sound of the guitar hero growing as an artist on his own terms--sidestepping the irony that poisoned 1990s rock to stay true to the real-life aesthetic of the blues. --Ted Drozdowski ...

Age: 18
In my final year of high school, now working a job, the Blues finally got my soul. There was no turning back after SRV's heavy strings landed the speed frenzy of Scuttle Buttin'. I used to wonder who he even was. My father had so many guitar world magazines, yet never listened to him. Eventually he told me "he's supposed to be really really good, I never listened to h"
""Ain't so funny when things ain't feelin' right
Then daddy's hand helps to see me through
Sweet as sugar love won't wash away
Rain or shine, it always here to stay
All these years you and I've spent together
All this, we just couldn't stand the weather."
I'll never forget my first real introduction into Blues as a young man. It was the opening riff to the first track from Couldn't Stand the Weather. That super fast ripping fire to Scuttle Buttin. My jaw dropped, and words were not spoken and m"
