Jimmie Vaughan : Plays Blues, Ballads & Favorites

Shout! Factory

Returning to the studio after a 9-year absence, Austin, Texas axe-gunslinger Jimmie Vaughan canvases a scenic trip through covers which have influenced not only his sound, but also the foundations of blues and rock. Sure, most of these songs have been hidden, but Vaughan also finds a way to dust them off and breathe new life into them by concentrating on rhythmic blues, penetrating soul music and the swing of early rock—neither patient nor subtle, these songs roll forward into the modern era with an invigorating kick from Vaughan and are enhanced by some genuinely spot-on vocals on a few tracks from Lou Ann Barton and Bill Willis. The Fabulous Thunderbirds guitarist still burns with a fresh influential spark.

VeronThe seeds are not dblgstiiee so if you eat a lot of them you may trun your bowels into a methane gas plant. However, in moderation they are all to the good as, like all roughage, they help to aerate your gut and make it easier for bacteria to break down your food while acting like so many little scrubies to remove fat and other crap that would othewise cling to intestinal membrane. So don’t worry about those seeds! :-)
