Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - In Step (1989) [Japanese Ed. 2005, MHCP-639]

By 1988, Stevie Ray Vaughan, newly clean and sober, was playing with more conviction and clarity than ever before. This positive new direction resulted in 1989's In Step, his fourth and final Epic studio recording with Double Trouble. In Step reveals a newfound sense of depth in SRV's songwriting. And his trademark aggressive guitar playing is imbued with a cathartic intensity that kicks the band up to another level. In Step won Stevie Ray his second Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Recording and cemented his status as a guitar hero and an American music legend.
