I had mix feeling about this book, until I finished it and found myself crying, the last line of book is one of the best last lines I've ever read.

As a life-long fan of Stevie Ray Vaughn's music, thanks to my daddy, this was a fascinating book with many details about the man that I had no idea about. The method of storytelling is a bit disjointed, so at times it is a bit hard to follow, but otherwise, I was pleased with this book and do recommend it to anyone with love for Stevie's music who wants to know more about the man!

This is an even-handed and honest biography of perhaps the greatest blues guitar player the world has known. It is largely told in the words of fellow musicians and people who were part of his inner circle of friends and helpers. It is both triumphant and tragic. It was revelation to read about how he inspired people from musicians to roadies, managers and crews at the various venues he played at. The authors have made an interesting and readable book. Highly recommended, particularly if you are a musician or in addiction recovery.

A wonderful oral history of SRV from the people that knew him best. Reading this lovely biography only underlines the tragedy of losing such a talent so young. A peerless musical work.

Written in the style of Edie: American Girl by Jean Stein, Texas Flood captures the life of Stevie Ray Vaughn through the memories of his family, musical peers and others close to him. Highly detailed and insightful.
