Guitar World magazine on Wednesday released a list compiling its picks for the 30 greatest Texas guitarists of all time and ranked blues-rock legend Stevie Ray Vaughan at the top.
TEXAS — Musicians know the only thing hotter than Texas’ weather is its six-string slingers.
Born in Dallas, Texas, in 1954, Vaughan took up the guitar at age 7. In 1972, he dropped out of high school and relocated to Austin where he began playing paying gigs and in 1978 formed the band Double Trouble. Vaughan’s popularity grew when in 1983 he and his band released their debut, "Texas Flood." A series of television appearances and high-profile shows followed, and Vaughan headed a blues revival in the 1980s, doing for the United States what artists including Gary Moore and Rory Gallagher did for Europe.
