"SRV Shuffle," performed by Jimmie Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray, B.B.King, Buddy Guy, Dr. John and Art Neville, won a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. Eric Clapton`s performance of "Ain`t Gone `N Give Up On Your Love" was nominated for a 1997 Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.
The helicopter crash that took Stevie Ray Vaughan`s life in August 1990 robbed the world of a musician whose incredible playing led the wave for a new generation of blues players. Organized by brother Jimmie Vaughan, this tribute features many of Vaughan`s heroes (B.B. King, Buddy Guy) and friends (Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Dr. John, Art Neville) backed by his old group, Double Trouble.
Bonnie Raitt kicks things off by reconstructing "Pride And Joy" as a shuffle that she punctuates with fiery slide playing. Jimmie Vaughan follows with an interpretation of "Texas Flood" that resonates with a fat tone and soulful singing, and then Cray gives a Chuck Berry-like reading of "Love Struck Baby." Although Clapton does some of his most emotive playing on "Ain`t Gone `N Give Up On Your Love," drawing from the same wells of inspiration as the late guitarist, the tastiest cuts are the three on which everyone jams together. A sanctified version of "Tick Tock," led by a gospelly trio of back-up singers, is a highlight.
