He played the Keystone clubs here in the Bay Area last summer and tore them apart. I saw him in Palo Alto and was impressed. (I've always loved hard electric blues.) He plays guitar on David Bowie's last album, "Let's Dance", and I believe he makes the album. He's the brother of Jimmie Vaughn of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, or so I've heard several times. His bass player in Double Trouble is the same bassist who played with Johnny Winters on his first few albums back in the 60's. Can't hold those Texas blues boys down. Long live Freddie King!!!

Or Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows? I haven't heard either of them on the West Coast but I know from mutual friends that they're still alive and doin' the thing back there.
