It's not so much a best-of or career retrospective as a very generous pile of career-spanning material that will genuinely add a new dimension to the Stevie Ray Vaughan listener's library, as fully two-thirds of the 54 tracks were previously unreleased. In addition, of the songs that have been previously available, five of those are cuts on which Vaughan was a sideman or partner (for Johnny Copeland, Albert King, Lonnie Mack, A.C. Reed, and as part of the Vaughan Brothers), so the Vaughan collector might have missed those in the past. Each of the first three discs clock in at more than 75 minutes, progressing from 1977 to 1990 and emphasizing live material, from soundchecks and radio programs to arena-headlining gigs and three solo acoustic tunes (one of which was previously on The Unplugged Collection, Vol. 1) from a 1990 MTV Unplugged episode. As music, though, it's uneven. The earliest and leanest cuts are a valuable supplement to Vaughan's discography, since he didn't have much opportunity to record until the early '80s. Yet sometimes these are too-long shuffles and boogies; his songwriting and singing is not nearly as impressive as his instrumental technique; and his occasional attempts to replicate Jimi Hendrix are inessential. A few familiar popular studio cuts like "Pride and Joy" and "Wall of Denial" are here, presumably to entertain the more casual Vaughan fans who need an extra push to spring for the box. More rabid Vaughan followers will likely be so overwhelmed by the quantity of unreleased items that they're unlikely to quibble about the presence of tracks they already own. The fourth disc is a DVD with five never-aired and never-issued performances from an episode of the television program Austin City Limits, recorded on October 10, 1989; the 72-page booklet of essays, appreciative quotes from several dozen peers, and more are other bonuses. ~ Richie Unterberger |

| | Bio | | Texas-born Stevie Ray Vaughan began playing guitar at the tender age of 11, eventually playing in teen combos around the Dallas area. As music consumed more of his life, he dropped out of high school and headed to Austin and a full-time music career, hooking up with a local band called the Cobras. In 1976, he started a rhythm-and-blues band called Triple Threat Review which, after some personnel changes along the way, he renamed Double Trouble in 1980. Vaughan's real breakthrough came in 1982, when he was spotted by David Bowie and appeared on Bowie's Let's Dance album. Music legend John Hammond soon signed him for Epic Records, and the Vaughan express took off in high gear when his debut album Texas Flood was released in 1983. More successful albums followed, and Vaughan scored a personal triumph in 1986 when, after collapsing in Germany, he entered drug rehab and reprioritized his life, remaining clean and sober until his life was cut short by a fatal helicopter crash as he left a concert performance in Wisconsin In 1990. Legendary blues guitarist BB King has said of Vaughan, "The fact is that he affected the way blues will be played and heard forever... I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie missed on both counts, but I never noticed... He's the blackest white man I've ever seen."
