Product Description
The blues-rock master's first album in nine years! Blues, Ballads and Favorites is blues-rock pioneer Jimmie Vaughan's tribute to the music that inspired him, with covers of songs by Little Richard, Jimmy Reed, Roy Milton, Roscoe Gordon and others. The album was recorded in Austin, Texas, and features legendary blues singer Lou Ann Barton on two tracks. Other highlights include a brand-new instrumental, "Comin' & Goin'," and a version of Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away" featuring vocals by Bill Willis, the famed Hammond organ player who recorded with James Brown and Bill Doggett. Vaughan founded the iconic Fabulous Thunderbirds in 1974, and they became famous for the high-octane blues-rock sound that earned them critical acclaim in the '70s and platinum-selling albums in the '80s. In 1990, Vaughan recorded a duets album, Family Style, with his brother, Stevie Ray Vaughan, shortly before the latter's untimely death, and then went on to a successful solo career.

5 out of 5 stars Jimmy is Jimmy and he rocks   August 23, 2010

I like this record but not as much as Strange Pleasures his earlier release. Maybe it will grow on me. I would rate this 4.5 stars and I will round up

I keep trying to be optimistic that Jimmy will produce an album somewhere comparable to brother Stevie, but once again, not this time. Perhaps I am hoping for too much, but additional efforts have yielded little to enjoy. Stick to Stevie.


5 out of 5 stars Jimmie's still got "it"........   August 17, 2010

This CD proves Jimmie Vaughan has still got "it". "It" being that hard to define quality that sets music and musicians apart from others. I have most of Jimmie's recorded output so I am a big fan of his playing and of the bands and other musicians he has collaborated with over the years and he keeps as do they some very good company. Had he quit recording after the first two Fabulous Thunderbird albums he would have achieved more than many can dream of and his place would still have been assured in the evolution of music for that contribution.

Jimmie has had to bear the loss of a brother - terrible on its own - but also constant comparison and reference to his lost loved one - even I am doing that here. I admire Jimmie for the way he has publicly coped with his loss and rose above it - showing great strength of character. Jimmie and the band also recently lost Bill Willis his hammond player one of his last performances is featured here. This album shows the depth of Jimmies musical character and highlights the massive progression in his singing playing and even on one track harmonica playing!

This album sounds like he had fun making it.

Jimmie was never in the shadow of his brother in my opinion - I like to think they shared each other's lime light. But this should be the CD that provides Jimmie the chance to take the spotlight that is his alone.

Jimmie Vaughan does what he does on his own terms with his own style and the world is a better place because of it!

I can't wait for the next CD to share in the musical journey of Jimmie Vaughan - in the meantime I will be playing this one LOUD and often.


3 out of 5 stars Lou Ann Barton sings here.   August 17, 2010

I bought this album to hear Lou Ann Barton sing, because she has a fabulous voice and style of singing. Having this album in my collection is reward enough to justify the purchase, although Lou Ann's portion was quite subdued and too limited. The album as a whole is a good kind of music, with excellent players.

There are some really great guitar players out there but nobody lays out R&B cool like Jimmie Vaughan. His "less is more" approach, combined with great material, a crack band, Lou Ann Barton, and crisp, swinging arrangements make this an album that you'll want to hear again and again.
