Brothers at the top of their game!

Rich talent runs in the Vaughan family, with this album standing as a testament to this truth. Not a filler to be found on this great album, made more poignant by the untimely death of Stevie at the height of his sober comeback. I lived in Austin at the time of his death and only got to see him play once, but oh what a performance in the open air on the banks of the river!

Great to listen to.

Jimmy was the understated star of the Fab T Tirds. A crisp guitar player. this only goes to show how much talent was lost.

Classic album, Unforgettable fun

This album is a real experience. So fresh even close to 20 yrs later. Some of the coolest genre blending I've ever heard. This is the crowning moment for both Vaughan brothers. They both brought their A games. I believe this has Stevies best playing.

This album should be required listening. Wrapped just before Stevie's untimely death, it exhibits a bond between the brothers that comes through with their music. Not a clunker on the disc. I can listen to it over and over again.

They Say All Music Guide

With slick production from Nile Rodgers and employing neither guitarist’s band (Double Trouble nor the Fabulous Thunderbirds), this is bluesy, but far from purist. Jimmie makes his vocal debut on “White Boots” and “Good Texan,” and the brothers blur the lines between their expected guitar styles — Stevie sometimes going for a less sustainy twang, Jimmie moving into Albert King territory. When standard blues is the order of the day (the slow instro “Brothers”), the key word is “standard” — bordering on run-of-the-mill. Instrumentals “D/FW” and “Hillbillies from Outer Space” fare better — offering ZZ Top crunch and Santo & Johnny steel, respectively. – Dan Forte
