Stevie Ray Vaughan's take on Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile is breathtaking. But then, much of what Vaughan did so casually still manages to amaze me. Hendrix was an innovator who took the blues and soul of his youth and re-imagined it by transposition on a guitar strung upside down and expressed with his huge and astonishingly versatile hands. Stevie was another gift entirely - his command of blues was likewise innate, but his brilliant technical ability combined with the sublime muse within him - still brings tears to my eyes. RIP to both. (Can you tell I am a guitar player?)
