Lyrics:
Well there's floodin' down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down
Well there's floodin' down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down
And I've been tryin' to call my baby
Lord and I can't get a single sound
Well dark clouds are rollin' in
Man I'm standin' out in the rain
Well dark clouds are rollin' in
Man I'm standin' out in the rain
Yeah flood water keep a rollin'
Man it's about to drive poor me insane
Well I'm leavin' you baby
Lord and I'm goin' back home to stay
Well I'm leavin' you baby
Lord and I'm goin' back home to stay
Well back home are no floods or tornados
Baby and the sun shines every day

There are great guitar players, and then there is the undisputed GOAT: SRV. BB King once said, "I play in sentences. SRV plays in powerful paragraphs."

The beauty of SRV is that each time you hear any of his solos, you think to yourself "god that's his greatest guitar solo of all time." Truth is, they are all his greatest solo of all time. Every time Stevie picked up the guitar he played with the same intensity and passion, unrivaled by any other guitarist, to pour out his soul for the music. That is why every solo is so magical, we can feel his soul through the sound.

@The Unknown Damn I respect your comment about Jimi. Hendrix had the songwriting skills/originality/pure artistic vision to unleash everything and forge his OWN PATH!!! His guitar playing/licks/style can be heard in EVERY single blues/rock guitarist to this day (2019). Even SRV without a doubt. But side by side pound for pound (doesn't matter who came first) SRV could play with a flow and ease, soft to mean and NEVER stutter or dry up. That was his contribution. He inspired millions of guitarist just like Hendrix. He basically carried the torch as far as it can go to this day. I just cannot compare Hendrix and SRV. Both were the greatest to EVER walk planet earth. Cheers mate :) :) :)

Holy fuck Stevie. God loves you ✝️💙

Stevie Ray Vaughn was 'Lightning in a Bottle '. When his peers (Notably Guitar/Blues Legends) say he was something special, have to take it as Gospel.

You can't just listen to SRV, you have to sit and watch.

Finest guitarist that ever lived

[@bobke114]

I used to try to arrive at his outdoor shows really early just to listen to his sound check. He would pretty much play each song on his playlist all the way thru and often play each sone more than once. The guy loved to play and ya could sure tell it from his playing. Also a super nice guy as well.

It's great to hear a great guitarist play and sing live like the recording . Stevie god rest your soul man. Do you people feel this !? Its a ritorical question lol Before technology allowed artists to cheat the fans lol this dude made that 🎸 sing even when it didn't want to 🙂
