This Week in the Shack

August 27 marked the 20th anniversary of Stevie Ray Vaughan's death in a helicopter crash. This week's show is dedicated to his memory, with a collection of his recordings; those of artists associated with him such as his brother Jimmie and the Double Trouble rhythm section of Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon; some of his major influences like Albert King, Lonnie Mack, and Otis Rush; followers like Melvin Taylor; and more Texas guitar bluesmen.

As always, I hope you dig it.
