Not as thorough as “The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan”, but much better than the flawed “Greatest Hits” CD, this installment in the “Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues”-series focuses on Stevie Ray Vaughan the bluesman rather than Stevie Ray Vaughan the blues-rocker. Almost all of these songs are blues tunes, and since this is called “Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues”, that’s how it should be. It features Stevie Ray’s (generally excellent) covers of classic 50s and 60s blues tune like Hound Dog Taylor’s “Give Me Back My Wig”, Otis Rush’s “All Your Love (I Miss Loving)”, Buddy Guy’s “Leave My Girl Alone”, and Elmore James’ legendary slow burner “The Sky is Crying”. But it’s not all covers; several songs are SRV originals, and almost every one of them ranks among Stevie Ray Vaughan’s best self-penned material: The slow blues “Texas Flood”, “Dirty Pool” and “Ain’t Gone ‘N’ Give Up On Love” are here, as is the swaggering boogie of “Pride and Joy”, and the fiery, up-tempo “Empty Arms”. I would have liked to see “I’m Cryin’” inluded as well, but that’s certainly a minor complaint, and we get a cover of Hank Ballard’s “Look At Little Sister”, a rare “Hug You, Squeeze You”, and the smouldering instrumental “Slide Thing” instead. This is a very, very fine and varied look at Stevie Ray Vaughan at his bluesiest.
