It’s only fitting that the inagural year of creating the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame would see Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band Double Trouble join Texas giant Willie Nelson as the first inductees on April 26th

Great to see that Tommy Shannon made it out with the boys for performances with (of course) Buddy Guy, Kenny Wayne Shephard, Doyle Bramhall II (who’s father SRV had an amazing writing relationship with), Robert Randolph, and others to accept and celebrate this great honor.

Hopefully this builds the case for SRV and DT to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside greats like BB King and Jimi Hendrix…

Here’s the story as it appears over at SRV’s official website
