There’s a reason legends become legends…yes, he is a master Blues Guitar Player and yes he has played with pretty much anyone who is anyone in music, but can you guess what puts it over the top, earns him so much respect from his peers and turns him into a living legend?
Watch the video, guess and comment if you have an idea:
Make sure you check Buddy Guy out at his club in Chicago during January – great club and who better to see at Buddy Buy’s than the man himself.

Jimmie Vaughan kicking some ass with DF/W (stands for Dallas Fort-Worth representing an area in Texas) backed by an amazing band really makes for some magic…
Always thought Jimmie’s strengths were:
- Making simple so packed with feeling
- Writing catchy melodies
- Amazing rhythm and back-up man
- Top notch band leader – knows how to put together an arrangement and a show
- Steeped in the history of the blues especially Jimmy Reed, King’s (Albert, Freddie and BB)
What’s your take?

Cool “raw” interview with Jimmie Vaughan, you get to see a “behind the scenes” of filming an interview.
Some great highlights from the interview:
- How The Fabulous T-Birds got their start as the Antone’s house band where they backed the who’s who of blues singers
- Why they moved down from Dallas to Austin (hippie scene, cops are nicer)
- Some of the many Texas musical influences from Bob Wills to Buddy Holly
- History of how Stevie Ray improved while Jimmie was out on the road
Love these types of in-depth interviews – always learn something new
