The Profile

Stevie Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter who led the 1980s blues resurgence with his band Double Trouble. His debut Texas Flood and incendiary live shows made him a defining voice of modern electric blues.

Born in Dallas, Texas; broke through after Montreux Jazz Festival (1982); played lead guitar on David Bowie’s Let’s Dance (1983); fronted Double Trouble; died in a helicopter crash near Alpine Valley, Wisconsin, on August 27, 1990.

Reviews celebrate Vaughan’s explosive Texas blues, highlighting Texas Flood, live prowess, and Hendrix-infused tone. Bowie’s Let’s Dance cameo and the Montreux 1982 breakthrough recur. Critics praise technique, feel, and band chemistry with Double Trouble, while noting his tragic 1990 helicopter crash.
