This is the revised final edition of the award-winning biography of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Six hundred pages, 1,000 illustrations, over 110 interviews with those who knew Stevie best, documenting Stevie's entire life and career in unmatched, comprehensive detail.
For the first and only time, the book identifies the nineteen different bands of which Stevie was a member (plus four other incarnations of those bands which could legitimately bring the total to twenty-three bands).
In addition to the hundreds of photos of Stevie, there are also illustrations of concert handbills, posters, letters, handwritten lyrics and notes and other historic artifacts.
The list of concerts is significantly expanded and is now annotated with references to known audio and video recordings and sample set lists throughout his career -- including never before published set lists from his teenage bands.
All of this is presented in chronological order (except for the pages at the end about Stevie's guitars and equipment).
There are approximately 21 new pages in addition to other improvements, which brings the total to a staggering 600 full-color 9" x 12" pages. The cover now features an historic photo by famous rock photographer Robert Knight, taken during the final jam at Alpine Valley.
