The Vaughan Brothers Family Style (CD)

With a slick production by Nile Rodgers, this album is bluesy but anything but purist. Jimmie makes his vocal debut on "White Boots" and "Good Texan", and the brothers blur the lines between their expected guitar styles - Stevie sometimes opting for a less sustained twang, Jimmie moving into Albert King territory.

"Family Style" is a blues-rock album by the Vaughan Brothers, released in 1990. The album features the brothers, guitarists and singers, Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan, in their only studio collaboration. In his early years, Stevie Ray Vaughan often said that he would like to record an album with his brother. He fulfilled this wish at his very last studio performance, which was released almost a month after his death. The liner notes end with "Thanks Mama V. for letting us play".
