    Jimmie's Six Strings Down

    So many people love Stevie Ray Vaughan (myself included), however, as a Dallas area person and blues aficionado, I knew Jimmie before Stevie - especially with the Fabulous Thunderbirds. My daughters grew up with both Vaughan brothers and they loved Jimmie's tunes so much. Boom Papa Boom, I Like it Like That, and such.

    I once took my oldest daughter to see Jimmie live at the Denton Blues Festival.

    Jimmie is such an amazing blues artist. And I loved this song for so many years but this take is SO quintessential blues...guitar, amp, and vocals. Go Jimmie! We love you.

    I saw him open for Eric Clapton during the Blues From The Cradle tour. After the show, I saw him in the lobby of the hotel where I was trying to get a seat at the restaurant/bar.

    Jimmie is amazing. Stevie always said Jimmie could play anything and I believe it. Good ol' Dallas boys.
