Jimmie Vaughan’s first solo album includes a subdued country gospel blues eulogy for his late brother Stevie Ray in the form of “Six Strings Down,” Written by Art and Cyril Neville. The bulk of the recording though, comes in the form of the relentless, Texas blues rave ups that made Jimmie the solid rock of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Dr John gives a New Orleans Shufftle to two songs he co-wrote with Jimmie, but more typical is the first single Boom-Bappa-Boom, which boasts a hypnotic rhythm perfectly described by its title. Jimmie’s refusal to play an unnecessary note makes his groove irrestible.
