About this product

Product Information

An instant New York Times bestseller! The 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.

Reviews
"Like all great bluesmen, Stevie Ray Vaughan is a bit of a mystery--a guitar-playing genius who hid in plain sight under the shadowy brim of his trademark hat. In this very fine book, two of our best music journalists, Alan Paul and Andy Aledort, shed much-needed light on this brilliant enigma by speaking to those that knew him best. It is essential reading for SRV fans, guitar freaks, blues aficionados and anyone interested in classic rock history." --Brad Tolinski, author of Play It Loud: An Epic History of the Style, Sound and Revolution of the Electric Guitar Praise for One Way Out : "This pot-stirring oral history reads like a backstory of how musical lightning comes to be. All of the surviving band members get to have their say." -- Rolling Stone "Alan has a way with narrative that just draws you in without using the single-level storyline used by other writers who have attempted telling the Allman Brothers Band's story. He gets right to the hows and whys that give his narrative real substance. Enjoy and become enlightened." --Butch Trucks, the Allman Brothers Band (From the Foreword) "No journalist knows the ins and outs of the Allman Brothers Band better than Alan Paul." -- Warren Haynes, the Allman Brothers Band "I learned so much reading One Way Out . If you want to know the real deal, read Alan Paul." -- Oteil Burbridge, the Allman Brothers Band "Allman Brothers, unvarnished . . . [Alan Paul]'s vast trove of interviews allows the band to tell its own story." -- Atlanta Journal Constitution "Alan Paul is one of America's foremost experts on the Allman Brothers Band. For the past twenty years, he has written informative, comprehensive articles on the band, and he truly understands the essence of their significance. It's great to see him release this chronicle." -- E.J. Devokaitis, Curator / Archivist, Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House "Alan Paul's One Way Out is a brilliantly detailed all-access pass to the Allman Brothers Band. Using his numerous personal interviews with the band members themselves--both past and present--as well as an almost endless entourage of friends, family members, roadies, managers, promoters, booking agents, record label executives, and fellow musicians, Alan Paul has successfully created the definitive ABB biography." -- Randy Poe, author of Skydog: The Duane Allman Story " One Way Out is perhaps the most in-depth look at one of America's most beloved, but thoroughly dysfunctional ensembles. Engrossing reading . . . Alan Paul has written about the Allmans for the last 25 years, and his depth of knowledge shows. The stories are salty, unfiltered, and straight from the horse's mouth. The word 'definitive' gets tossed around so often it has lost some of its meaning, but this 400-page journey into the heart of rock and roll darkness deserves the accolade." -- Guitar World Magazine "No matter what you think you know about the Allman Brothers Band, One Way Out is bound to be revelatory on many levels . . . This is essential reading that strips away the myth to expose all the moving parts in vivid detail." -- Seattle PI "Music writer Paul catches up with the legendary band in this entertaining, compulsively readable oral history of the Allman Brothers. Duane's ghost haunts the book." -- Publishers Weekly "Perhaps no music journalist has written as extensively about the Allman Brothers Band as Paul, who has tracked the rock group's career for 25 years. And his deep familiarity with the band and its music shows everywhere in this fluid account. Augmented by photos and fascinating sidebars, this candid oral history has appeal beyond the Allman Brothers Band's loyal fan base." -- Booklist, starred review, Praise for One Way Out : "This pot-stirring oral history reads like a backstory of how musical lightning comes to be. All of the surviving band members get to have their say." -- Rolling Stone "Alan has a way with narrative that just draws you in without using the single-level storyline used by other writers who have attempted telling the Allman Brothers Band's story.

    The heart & soul of SRV

    First person accounts provide great insights into the artist, the friend, and the man. Couldn't put it down, read it in 3 days time. I was always a fan and now his music has that much more meaning knowing where it came from. Knew how the story ended but by the time I got there I was even more moved by the tragedy.

  • A special book about a very special artist.

    A must read for fans of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Great commentary from his brother Jimmy Vaughan as well as his band mates from Double Trouble, Chris Layton, Tommy Shannon and Reese Wynans. Also, whoever designed the dust cover on the book did an incredible job.
