Title: Save your money blues fans, this is more trouble than double
Review: What a major downer this disk is! The concept of bringing together many of the players/friends of SRV and new guitar slingers like Sheppard and Lang was a good one. However, one embarassing track after another highlights how much Stevie Ray Vaughan was the spark to making Double Trouble sound so electrifying. Charlie Sexton, Lou Ann Barton, Dr. John, etc. have weak material and deliver luke-warm performances that make me cringe. One listen to this disk was all I could take before tossing it into the dumpster. Even Jimmy Vaughan sounds tired on his duet with Barton, spooling out a lack-luster guitar solo that is a shadow of his fabulous work with the Thunderbirds and last two solo outings. I should have listened to the sound-bites available on this site. What a hodge-podge of a disk!
