Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble- Texas Flood- Austin 4-15-84

“There’s a flood down in Texas, All the telephone lines are down…” – (Larry Davis, Joseph Scott)

Even as long ago as April 1984 when Stevie Ray Vaughan sang those words performing with Double Trouble on the Austin Opera House stage, the Dallas native knew the notorious reputation of Central Texas Hill Country flash floods. Not only was their version of “Texas Flood” a centerpiece of their early live shows, Vaughan titled their debut album that as well. -Redbeard
