Overview

It is no easy feat to capture the enormous spirit of Stevie Ray Vaughan, a man whose presence in the world was like an untamable fire, shooting flames of raw talent, passion, and innovation. That bright light wrestled with a dark side, an addiction and sadness that threatened to put out the fire forever.

Twenty years after his death, he lives on in the hearts of millions of people around the world. In a day-by-day format, Craig Hopkins presents an unprecedented celebration of this wonderful life. Hopkins tells the complete story of SRV in over a quarter of a million words and a thousand photographs, creating one of the most detailed biographies of any musician. From Stevie's roots to his renowned success, it's all here. Filled with testimonials from those who knew him best and from fans everywhere, along with facts about tour dates and recordings, stories about the band's life on the road, rare artistic and historic photographs, and more, this lavishly illustrated book is the ultimate collector's item for any SRV fan.
