Hope everyone has a great Saturday. I am canning beans today.
And then going to a friends camp ground to relax for awhile, so will see you around later.

Heres some history on the Vaughan Brothers, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

James Lawrence "Jimmie Lee" Vaughan (born on March 20, 1951 in Dallas, Texas) is an American blues guitarist and singer. He is the older brother of Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Jimmie Vaughan's style was influenced by Freddie King who gave him personal advice. Also two other blues guitarists, Albert King and B. B. King, were important influences. Johnny "Guitar" Watson was another important early influence (Jimmie says that he and his younger brother Stevie Ray Vaughan studied Johnny "Guitar" Watson more than any other single guitarist).

This first song by the Vaughan Brothers, Stevie & Jimmy..... is for all of the Texas women out there.

The Vaughan Brothers....Stevie & Jimmy Vaughan

"Good Texan"


Jimmie Vaughan developed his own personal style that is easily recognized. He formed the band The Fabulous Thunderbirds with singer and harpist Kim Wilson, bassist Keith Fergusson, and drummer Mike Buck. (The initial Fabulous Thunderbirds members were all proteges of Austin, Texas blues club owner, Clifford Antone). The band's first four albums, released between 1979 and 1983, are ranked among the most important 'white blues' recordings. These early albums did not sell well, so the band was left out without a recording contract for a couple of years (during the times when Jimmie's younger brother achieved popular success).

The Fabulous Thunderbirds got a new contract in 1986 and made several albums that featured more commercial pop-music sound and production styles. Jimmie left the band in 1989 and made a "duo album" called Family Style with his younger brother, Stevie Ray Vaughan. Before the album was released, Stevie died in a helicopter crash in East Troy, Wisconsin on August 27, 1990. The album was released a few days after the tragic accident (the listed artist on the album was "Vaughan Brothers"). The album was light blues-influenced rock with Jimmie singing on several tracks.

"Tuff Enuff"



I like this one a lot with Jimmy Vaughan ...You can see where Stevie Ray got a lot of his style for playing the guitar from his older brother Jimmy.
This was the most successful song for the group.
