An instant New York Times bestseller! The first definitive
biography of guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughan, with an epilogue by
Jimmie Vaughan, and foreword and afterword by Double Trouble's
Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon. Just a few years after he almost
died from a severe addiction to cocaine and alcohol, a clean and
sober Stevie Ray Vaughan was riding high. His last album was his
most critically lauded and commercially successful. He had
fulfilled a lifelong dream by collaborating with his first and
greatest musical hero, his brother Jimmie. His tumultuous marriage
was over and he was in a new and healthy romantic relationship.
Vaughan seemed poised for a new, limitless chapter of his life and
career. Instead, it all came to a shocking and sudden end on August
27, 1990, when he was killed in a helicopter crash following a
dynamic performance with Eric Clapton. Just 35 years old, he left
behind a powerful musical legacy and an endless stream of What Ifs.
In the ensuing 29 years, Vaughan's legend and acclaim have only
grown and he is now an undisputed international musical icon.
Despite the cinematic scope of Vaughan's life and death, there has
never been a truly proper accounting of his story. Until now. Texas
Flood provides the unadulterated truth about Stevie Ray Vaughan
from those who knew him best: his brother Jimmie, his Double
Trouble bandmates Tommy Shannon, Chris Layton and Reese Wynans, and
many other close friends, family members, girlfriends, fellow
musicians, managers and crew members.

Laurence Juber shares his life with Wings and his solo career 'on
six strings' in new book. Guitar With Wings: LJ's Musical Journey
on Six Strings, a photo memoir by Grammy Award-winning artist
Laurence Juber. It is the story of Juber's five-decade career told
through his own words, candid never-seen-before colour and black
& white photos, vintage advertising materials, guitars,
equipment, memorabilia and the six-string legend's encyclopaedic
musical memory. "In the thirty-something years since Wings folded I
would look at the boxes of photographs and accumulated memorabilia,
promising myself that one day I'd take the time to organize it
all," "Contrary to my expectations that the Wings era would be
absorbed into the general arc of Paul McCartney's career, interest
in the band itself has continued to flourish and I recognized that
I had a unique perspective to offer." Juber said the 50-year
anniversary of his love affair with the guitar and the public's
on-going fascination for Wings proved a catalyst for this
retrospective. "The photos triggered long-forgotten memories of my
time in the band, underscoring how my studies at 'McCartney
University' were a bridge from my early musical experiences to my
later 'solo flight' and how much the couple-consciousness of Paul
and Linda McCartney proved to be a template for my own romantic and
creative relationship with my wife Hope,"
