Jimmie was the best. I saw the band at the Keystone Palo Alto in 85. They blew the roof off the club! 🙂

The first 4 Fabulous Thunderbirds records are some of the best Texas Blues records ever made, for that matter they are some of the best blues records ever made, the line up with Keith Ferguson, Jimmy Lee Vaughn, Mike Buck , and Kim Wilson was a fantastic band

Mike Buck was only on one and a third of those first four records. The rest Fran Christina** on drums.

I got to play many shows with the FTB back in the day. Preston era. I remember after our first night playing at the Austin Opera House, Jimmie and Kim walked right in front of me and Steve Pryor and they gave us a real eat shit look. We made them play that night and they did. I played with Steve Pryor for 13 years. He was SRV, JLV and BFG put together. There’s a good thing on KZbin of us playing 12/91. Yes it’s old, yes I’m old. Listen to it and decide for yourself I love those 1st 4 FTB albums with Keith Ferguson. That’s textbook blues !!!

You will find a recent article about Clapton's thoughts on Jimmie Vaughn. I think he is talking about that feel you talk about when Clapton says Jimmie is the best in his opinion. I was surprised to hear JV's name brought up. No one really talks about him. Interesting article.

Jimmie is a purist, traditionalist electric blues player. Most of what you hear called blues in the modern electric vane is really rock blues hybrid. Jimmie plays a lot of Texas blues but came into his own in slow traditional blues., which is often Moody and understated and not pedal dependent for tone.. Pioneers like T-bone walker and B.B. King are great examples. B.B. King developed his single note style by drawing on the brass patterns in big swing bands. The hall mark of electric blues greatness is knowing how to play patterns repeating over and over that should be repetitive but aren't because they are building and straining and often only implying what can be to easily found in your standard modern "blues" solo... Jimmie had it nailed in the mid 80's but his playing stalled and arguably fell away dramatically when Stevie crossed over. Similar rapid deterioration occurred for The marvelous Peter Green when personal Trauma intervened in his life. To hear Jimmie at his best listen to him in the later 80's.. Jimmie wasn't technically the best,.. but even knowing that is the guitar players curse...He just "felt' better to listen to.. Best Wishes...

When I saw the T-Birds live in Oslo in 1986 I remember Jimmie had a suprisingly dry tone. It got me wondering. Jimmie's a big influence.

I saw the T-Birds at the Providence Civic center in 1986. The second set only kim and Jimmie take the stage, kim gets behind the drums with a stick in one hand and his harp in the other and Jimmie to his side and bring the roof down. Most incredible thing I have ever seen.

For me The T-Birds were at the height of the height when Keith Ferguson was on bass, the original lineup. I of course love upright bass in jazz, but I'm not crazy about it in Blues bands. Two things about this performance, one, the playing is missing the spark that you'd normally expect from Jimmie, and two, the tempo seems kind of rushed, faster than the original. I don't feel the organ here, is really adding anything needed, the original band didn't have keyboards.
