This week, we’re dialing back the tempo just enough to let the notes breathe — then creaking it up the heat like only Texas can. Joining me as guest curator is Patreon Mixtaper David Lee Smith, and together we’re digging deep into the catalog of one of blues rock’s true pioneers: Stevie Ray Vaughan.

SRV was a musical chameleon. Whether he was tearing through Texas blues, reinventing a cover, or letting a slow burn simmer, Stevie — alongside the unstoppable force of Double Trouble — played every song like it mattered. Because it did.

From blistering guitar workouts to moments of pure restraint, this playlist celebrates the range, feel, and fire that made Stevie Ray Vaughan more than just a guitar hero. So settle in for a tribute to one of the greatest to ever plug in.
