Texas Flood Wiki Information
Texas Flood
is an electric blues album by blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band Double Trouble, released in 1983 (see 1983 in music). More popular than any blues album in nearly twenty years, Texas Flood
was a surprise success for Vaughan, who had labored in obscurity for years. The album was recorded in only three days, at Jackson Browne's personal recording studio, in 1982 since the band had been playing many live sets beforehand.
On the North American Billboard Music Charts, Texas Flood
peaked at #64 and #38 on the Billboard 200 and Pop Albums charts, respectively. The single "Pride and Joy" peaked at #20 on the Mainstream Rock chart. The album was Grammy nominated in 1983 for "Best Blues Recording" along with "Rude Mood", which was nominated for "Best Blues Instrumental Performance."
8-track tape versions of the album are very rare and thus considered quite valuable due to the fact that the format was being phased out during the time period in which the album was released. Therefore, relatively few 8-track tape versions of "Texas Flood" were manufactured.
The album was released in its entirety as downloadable content for the music video game series Rock Band
on March 3rd, 2009.

* Some album editions and guitar tablature books wrongly credit "Testify" to G. Clinton and D. Taylor, but it is actually an Isley Brothers cover. The original recording was released in 1964 and features Jimi Hendrix on guitar. There is an unrelated Parliament song of the same name (sometimes called "I Wanna Testify") written by G. Clinton and D. Taylor.
