TIL Stevie Ray Vaughan was the guitarist for this guy..

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. For most of us, it was the song that introduced us to the genius of

Stevie Ray. His career changed forever after this song was released.

2. Cat People had his best work on the album,

But it's nowhere near as popular.

3. SRV one the GREATEST. His death hit me hard....I really loved this guy. XO Stevie. nt

4. David Bowie and Jackson Browne both met Stevie at the Montreaux Jazz Festival

Both were blown away. Jackson offered his studio for free and that's where Texas Flood was recorded. While they were recording, Bowie called and offered him the "Let's Dance" gig.

5. But Not On Tour

SRV's management overplayed their hand with demands.
Earl Slick was available and he and Bowie had been pals for years.
Earl learned the new songs on the plane to Europe!
Stevie was pretty upset with his manager over the turn of events.
