Throughout his short ride in the public eye, Stevie Ray Vaughan constantly cited his musical influences: older brother Jimmie, Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, and Lonnie Mack. The one elder statesman whose playing stood out in shaping not only the incendiary style of S.R.V., but that of Eric Clapton, Hendrix, and Jimmy Page was southpaw blues giant Albert King. Known for his short, sharp phrasing wrapped in a driving rhythm, King gained fame during the seven years he recorded for Stax, a Memphis soul label.

This 1983 session was recorded a decade after the cantankerous King first had Vaughan, then a skinny teenager, sit in with him at an Austin club. Although this taping was definitely King's turf, he shared the stage and was no less a proud and paternal mentor, as evidenced by the laudatory in-between song patter that's been included. The playing is top-notch and includes slow-burn readings of T-Bone Burnett's classic "Call It Stormy Monday" and of "Blues at Sunrise," an early-'60s number that King recalled playing live with Hendrix and Janis Joplin at the Fillmore West. Elsewhere, the duo picks up the tempo with the instrumental shuffle "Overall Junction" and an upbeat take on B.B. King's "Ask Me No Questions."
