Success for Stevie Ray

Stevie Ray Vaughan (guitar and vocals) performances “Pride And Joy” with his band “Double Trouble” consisting of Tommy Shannon (bass), and Chris Layton (drums) live at Montreux 1982.

In 1982, Vaughan and Double Trouble performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, catching the attention of musicians David Bowie and Jackson Browne. Bowie asked Vaughan to play on his upcoming studio album Let’s Dance, while Browne offered the band free use of his personal studio in Los Angeles to record an album.

In March 1983, Vaughan and Double Trouble were signed to Epic Records by veteran record producer John Hammond Sr. and released their debut album, “Texas Flood” in June of that year.
