Stevie Ray Vaughan with Bryan C and Kit · Deprogrammed Music Podcast

0:32
It's deprogram podcast where we try to get you into an artist
0:37
and today it may or may not be my pride and joy.
0:43
It is my pride and joy. Well, we're going to be talking
0:46
about Stevie Ray Vaughan, clumsy clumsy, wordplay aside that
0:51
wasn't even really work play. It was just words, Brian, you
0:54
put Stevie Ray Vaughn on the board.
0:56
So talk to me about why you feel like we needed to to do the show
1:00
for us. Stevie Ray Vaughan.
1:04
Well, actually, this is one of my Nostalgia kicks.
1:09
I put up a couple that were either.
1:14
I listened to through my parents when I was a kid and they drive
1:18
around and you're forced to listen to them or they hit me in
1:21
some way. Nostalgic Ali.
1:23
And I met Stevie Ray Vaughan. I'm trying to think if I have
1:29
listened to him, I was since I was a kid.
1:31
So this is almost like Like a rediscovery and at the same
1:35
time, going back to favorites. First of all, I think I mean,
1:44
first of all, I'm not a musician.
1:46
I tried playing guitar once I was terrible, but Stevie Ray
1:51
Vaughan is one of those artists that I think every every hopeful
1:58
guitar player should be listening to, I wish I wasn't.
2:02
Ocean. And I could explain more about
2:05
his use of like the blues pentatonic scale and what he
2:10
does differently than other blues artists.
2:13
I can't accept what I read on Wikipedia.
2:18
Um, but yeah, he's so it's obvious that, you know, I for
2:28
him, nostalgic wise is my dad did listen to a lot of Blues but
2:32
More. Eric Clapton, I think my more
2:36
will say like warm spot for Stevie is I remember I don't
2:43
remember the news when, when he when he died.
2:47
I was about 10 years old, it was 1990 but I do remember.
2:52
I don't just interview if like like if you have memory this to
2:57
who of going through the TV, random Saturday, rainy
3:01
afternoon. And Austin City Limits is
3:04
playing on PBS and it seems like Stevie Ray Vaughan from Austin,
3:09
City Limits played on PBS every day.
3:17
It was, it was every day and I wish I could remember, if this
3:20
correlated with his death, if this was like in 1991 area, Or
3:26
not. But all I remember is and that's
3:30
where this hits me. So like a lot of the songs I
3:32
gravitated towards were all played in that set.
3:35
A lot of them were his big hits hits.
3:39
I mean, he don't have hit your little radio song.
3:41
I wouldn't really call him hits but um, yeah, it just it's I
3:46
didn't and you had mentioned at one point that a lot of your
3:50
listeners ship is like younger people.
3:53
And I mean I feel like Stevie Ray Vaughan.
3:56
Because he is such a short career, you know, from, you
3:58
know, from 83 to 90. Um, I guess kind of maybe like
4:04
forgotten, but when you but, you know, when you think of like the
4:08
great, you know, blues guitarist, sometimes his name
4:12
doesn't doesn't come to the front of your mind, you know,
4:15
it's usually more on Jimi Hendrix and, you know, Eric
4:18
Clapton and then like the old-school guys BB King and
4:22
stuff like that. So it was more Get Stevie Ray
4:27
Vaughan, back out there. Revisit thumb Happy childhood
4:32
times. Watching Austin city limits on
4:35
PBS every Saturday and yeah. So just a little bitty much it.
4:40
A little bit of love for somebody.
4:41
You think deserves it and you mentioned, you mentioned, you
4:45
know, maybe a younger listenership and kit you signed
4:50
on, you know, I think only like two or three.
4:53
This is one of them. This is your first time here.
4:56
Why Stevie Ray Vaughan to bring? Yeah Point.
4:59
Um yeah so I am younger listener, but it kind of brings
5:04
up some Nostalgia for me as well.
5:05
I've been listening to him since I can remember.
5:08
Like my earliest. Memories are listening to like
5:11
family members, family friends playing the playing these songs
5:15
because I have a lot of family and family friends who, like
5:20
play music semi-professionally. Yeah.
5:24
And so that was Part of choosing Stevie Ray Vaughan in
5:28
particular, but in terms of deciding to sign on to the
5:32
program as a whole, I'm actually friends with Brian's daughter
5:36
Melissa and she was the one who referred me to the program as a
5:41
whole and I was like this is amazing so I've just been
5:45
listening in weightlifting doing all the Tigris link but bring
5:49
you back to steer if Stevie Ray Vaughan on specifically, I am a
5:55
guitar player. Fire to Brian's point.
5:58
And I one of the first things I learned when I was like ten
6:02
years old, was the pentatonic scale and I still cannot figure
6:05
out how to explain the rare Avant.
6:08
Anybody, like, I still don't know so it's one of those things
6:12
were like he's always been someone.
6:15
I've looked up to in terms of guitar and kind of continuing
6:20
the stuff that I like grown up with and Also, like, again to
6:26
grinds point. This is going to be a brutal
6:28
comparison but it's what the, what came to mind just now.
6:31
He's kind of the Derrick Rose of of, like, blues guitar where
6:37
it's like, amazing and you knew that they were going to be
6:40
amazing throughout their entire career.
6:42
But then like career-ending thing, occurs and then, like,
6:48
everybody kind of puts into the Wayside and they're kind of just
6:52
another player. Hmm, and I think with the
6:57
shorter career that Eddie has its, it's telling that there are
7:02
some songs that I already know are going to be it's on the list
7:05
because yeah, of course. So yeah.
7:10
It's that's a lot of it for me. So I want to kind of tag on
7:15
there to kind of both your point.
7:18
Like it is weird to think that almost like in the same way
7:23
like, like Prince, like, It's crazy.
7:27
Because everybody loves Prince, everybody.
7:30
Everybody loves Stevie Ray Vaughan but it feels like it's
7:33
still not enough. Well yes, it's weird.
7:38
Like, I feel like a lot of people are deferential, they
7:41
understand the importance of them but I do feel like as I'm
7:47
listening to this discography, I'm like a lot of it you know
7:52
some of that stuff I've heard and you know, maybe it's just
7:55
lost in because of wood. Is, you know, as opposed to, as
7:58
opposed to a Jimi, Hendrix, who's doing like this explosive
8:01
like, you know, rock music and and Prince who's, who's like
8:06
combining pop and rock and you know different way, Steve, he's
8:10
kind of just doing, you know, direct Blues but like your
8:14
listen to him play the guitar, you know like yeah.
8:18
Oh my God. Like you just know that this
8:23
dudes a legend and Like he soars it's crazy to me because like I
8:30
don't know like not that not that this type of music isn't my
8:34
jam but it isn't going to be a go to for me like kind of like I
8:39
keep drawing all these comparisons apologies, but kind
8:42
of like ZZ Top, you know, if ZZ Top comes on, I'm going to
8:46
listen to it and I'm going to enjoy it.
8:48
And, you know, again, probably a critically underrated guitar
8:53
player but Like I feel the same way about Stevie like if a
8:58
Stevie song comes on, I'm going to crank it up because I want to
9:02
listen to him play guitar. So, you know, I think I found
9:08
that that was my difficulty and you know, I'll Circle back
9:11
around to this but Brian like, this isn't a giant discography.
9:15
But, but there's some decisions to make here as you're coming
9:21
through it. What are you looking for to put
9:23
your 20 together for this, okay? So okay, so I know as a I'm not
9:29
going to I know people give you cracked and then I can get it
9:34
about covers. Okay.
9:36
I think we have to throw that out the window, okay?
9:39
Because when you're talking Blues it's a lot of right?
9:43
It's and so where I started was I said and some of you might go
9:49
oh gosh because I'm going to say something okay.
9:52
So 99.2% of TV songs that are covers.
9:58
You wouldn't know where covers? Yeah, except for to right,
10:02
there's through this thick out because they are so well, known
10:07
and there are in their original artist is considered one of the
10:10
greatest of all time, right? So I had to throw those out and
10:16
I went through everything without that, then I came on too
10:20
and it was okay. Then I separated all the
10:23
instrumentals TV. Does a lot of it.
10:26
Rentals, I think over the four albums there's a so I said,
10:31
okay, so how many instrumentals do I pick?
10:35
And I'm like I'd like to see one or two on the final list so I
10:40
picked a perfect like three instrumentals.
10:42
So then that's like how I started it.
10:45
I started it by as much as it hurt me to throw out covers.
10:50
Not all the covers just two big ones and then I had to isolate
10:55
the instrumentals out. I wanted to use then after that
10:58
it was pretty much because he does have you know, he has his
11:06
songs with his like very aggressive hard picking which is
11:10
what he's known for. He does have his songs where Is
11:15
there more there smoother? They're more Captain asked,
11:19
their more slow hand, but also has his signature hard picking
11:25
in it. So I kind of like went by that.
11:30
Um, and just by preference by Nostalgia, which ones were
11:37
played at Austin, City Limits, um, you know, that's kind of a
11:43
pie. So I picked a All instrumentals
11:46
like Taiwan a couple of in the list.
11:49
And then I figured if I pick the picture few instrumentals,
11:53
there's a good chance of this. One of them being hit on by
11:55
everybody because it is part of what he does.
12:01
That's it me otherwise I think you went he went pretty good.
12:05
We went pretty pretty pretty easily for me.
12:08
So it's your first time here kid and the weight of the program
12:13
being on his shoulders in. Okay, I mean again like it this
12:17
isn't a giant discography but this is somebody that you've
12:20
looked up to. So like talk to me about your
12:22
process for picking songs, for this.
12:25
Oh my God, this was one of the hardest things I've ever ever
12:29
had to do. I had to cut Song of mine that
12:32
is like, like core memory stuff. It was just, it was brutal.
12:38
Like, I cut this song, 20 minutes ago because I had to,
12:41
like wait until the last minute because I knew it was going to
12:44
be the song that I ended up cutting.
12:46
But like, I couldn't so I had to wait until the last minute to
12:50
actually take it off like my playlist that I had.
12:54
It was just, it was just like one of those processes where I
12:58
was just like, okay, going through each song and kind of
13:01
thinking about Like what about Stevie Ray Vaughan that this
13:05
song song like shows off? And like if I felt like you
13:09
didn't like like represent like an aspect of like his style or
13:17
an aspect of like one of his, I don't want to call want to call
13:22
it, like genres of Stevie Ray Vaughan where he has different
13:25
like, Kind of go to said he does like Brian was talking about so
13:32
I kind of just chose them based off that.
13:35
So for me, I think I told you guys I had 27 on my first pass.
13:43
I think that was this one. Yeah.
13:47
And that was because I'm as I'm listening, I can tell that
13:52
guitars the thing, you know. Obviously so guitars the thing
13:56
and I'm like, okay, if guitars the thing I'm going to end up
14:00
with everything on the list. So I just kind of, I kind of
14:07
started going with. A feeling like if if a song made
14:14
me excited like like aggressively, tapping my toe or
14:18
shaking my head or, you know, getting kind of Pumped up.
14:20
I was like, okay. So this is something I need to
14:23
pay attention to. I did automatically throw I
14:27
listen to them you know I listen to them but I did automatically
14:34
throw out the the two major covers I mean you know it's
14:39
Hendricks. Is hard, folks?
14:40
Like, I mean, it's not that the ability wasn't there.
14:45
It's just, you know how? Like I don't know how so um, I
14:53
don't know. Everything else was just kind of
14:55
a feeling so that could end up to our detriment and I guess
15:01
we'll find out. Now based on everything we've
15:04
just said, Brian again, not a giant discography.
15:07
We did include the record with his brother, right?
15:10
So, yep. Yeah, based on everything.
15:12
We've said, how many do you think would get through
15:14
unanimously? Okay, so I've always gone high
15:19
and we always end up low but I think okay this time I know, you
15:26
know, you know what's the what's the definition of a psychopath?
15:29
Some does the same thing over and over again and get the same
15:32
result. Okay, so I'm gonna do it anyway,
15:35
I'm gonna go 66, I feel I feel like I just I feel tonight.
15:42
I feel like Justin and kit or right here with me and we're
15:45
going to do this. All right.
15:47
Kid your first off throwing out here.
15:50
What do you what do you think? I think we're going to get.
15:54
I want to say for that. We're going to get that.
15:57
Everybody is like yes this one that sounds right.
16:02
Yeah. That seems that was the number I
16:05
was looking at. All right, let me rethink.
16:09
So now do I split the difference?
16:10
Which is the easy thing, right? Do I go five?
16:15
Do I go higher than Brian? I'm thinking, you know, maybe
16:18
maybe it's not as bad as we think or do.
16:21
I go complete dick mode and undercut kit?
16:26
That's the question. For seems right on and for seems
16:32
right on. All right, I'm going to be the
16:37
dick and just hope I'm wrong. Want to go three.
16:40
I don't like it. 33 feels too low.
16:44
Five feels too high for seems like the number to me.
16:47
So we're going to take a quick pause and when we come back we
16:52
going to do some de program Jack.

17:32
With that, the name of the game is deprogrammed, the three of us
17:36
have come through the Stevie Ray Vaughan, discography and plucked
17:39
out 20 songs. They were now going to mesh
17:40
together in an attempt to create a top ten starter kit for you,
17:44
in case you have never listened to Stevie Ray Vaughan.
17:47
And how dare you, how dare me for, for waiting on this show to
17:52
do it. This one kind of came up in my,
17:56
my very, my fumbling of the, the intro it Is like a home run,
18:03
maybe I'm wrong. And what's funny is, I don't
18:07
think I even realized this was Stevie Ray Vaughan.
18:10
I mean, I'm very well aware of the song pride and joy.
18:15
Yes. Yes, here we go.
18:18
I know it feels like a gimme but it does but for good reason I
18:25
mean I'd be curious to know like how many people are like me and
18:29
didn't like put that together you know I mean as many times as
18:36
I've heard that song I never thought to even look up.
18:39
It was. Yeah yeah and if you were to say
18:43
I said, I don't think he really had Hits.
18:45
But he had radio songs and I would say this was, this was
18:49
probably his most popular. It's probably his, I'm haven't
18:52
looked it up. I'm sure.
18:53
This is his highest charting song.
18:58
But it's got every all the elements of Stevie that you want
19:02
like yeah like his voice sounds great because horror sounds
19:06
great. It's a lot of of Strokes.
19:08
Yeah I'm into it. Yes.
19:10
Yeah it has a classic Shuffle which is which is signature
19:14
Stevie with that without trouble.
19:17
Yeah, absolutely. It's kind of like put like a
19:20
basicness feeling to it that like is it not not in like a bad
19:25
way but in a really good way of just like his down to like just
19:29
like the cook down version of what, like music should be
19:32
almost. And it's just, yeah, it's really
19:35
neat. All right, all right, there we
19:39
go. One in.
19:42
I mean that it though, let's find out no Brian.
19:46
Okay. So on This fire right off on
19:51
Justin had said that he really liked the songs that grabbed him
19:56
and this song it's Stevie Ray Vaughan song.
19:59
It's written by him. It's pure.
20:01
Stevie Ray Vaughan is guitar but what?
20:03
But what makes this song for me is Double Trouble, the piano and
20:08
the Baseline of houses are rocking.
20:11
Yep. Yeah, yes.
20:14
Yes. Yeah, songs.
20:17
That grab you, you nailed it. Like, and this was this was,
20:21
this was 100% just highlighting Double Trouble, which we didn't
20:25
mention this. But yeah, that piano.
20:53
Yeah. Yeah this is like this is like a
20:56
full band. Yeah, absolutely position.
21:13
I was worried that that was one that I was going to be out on.
21:16
So glad that it. Yeah, got shot.
21:19
All right, Kitt this, this is definitely one that I might be
21:23
alone on part. I'm partially saying this one
21:26
just because I want to say the name of it but also, it is
21:29
genuinely a really good song that I like Hillbillies from
21:32
outer space. And I don't, don't that's an
21:39
instrumental, right? I don't think so.
21:44
I'm not. Okay.
21:45
I'm not sure. I can look at.
21:47
Yeah, I made notes. Yeah, I mean.
21:53
Yeah, bugs me to no end because I literally I never do this like
22:01
so every time I listened to the playlist before the show.
22:07
And as I was listening to the playlist, you know, I was I came
22:12
across the song that was like, I feel like this probably needs to
22:15
be in here. What do I take out?
22:18
This is the song I took out, of course.
22:22
Well, you know, I thought I was like, you know, this is, you
22:26
know, I'm probably the only one with this one and maybe I'm
22:31
taking too big of a swing here. Well, at least I feel like with
22:53
good reason, Texas Flood. Yes, I don't have that.
22:58
Okay, so it's good to know who to It's all right.
23:03
Oh, Texas Flood. Yes.
23:05
I do have that. Sorry.
23:06
I know I do. That's my bed.
23:09
Okay. Well then I my six is looking
23:12
good. Yeah.
23:16
Oh, yeah. Three already.
23:18
Yeah. And this is one of those.
23:21
This is actually when I talked about, well, he's my songs, were
23:25
he is the place Mohan but still has hard.
23:29
So has that hard picking this is exactly the song I was thinking.
23:33
So it was Texas Flood where it comes in with that smooth crying
23:39
guitar and then still has his signature sound.
23:43
So, ultimately, that's what put it over Hillbillies for me is.
23:48
So I always ask the question. In, you know, what do you
23:51
consider Texas? Flood was one of the answers, so
23:55
I was like, okay, let me go, let me go back and listen, or
23:58
actually, like I, when I came up to Texas Flood, like I'm
24:01
listening after pride and joy. What song is this?
24:04
I have this right and I'm like, oh no I don't so that's when I
24:08
went to look. Oh I better get something out
24:11
but I don't need to repeat you like you already.
24:14
See ya. I was thinking.
24:15
So All right, Brian. All right, so I'm going to go to
24:21
an instrumental. Hopefully, you guys pick pick
24:23
some instrumental? I did.
24:25
So I'm gonna go to my favorites. Rude mood.
24:30
That's, that's one of the instrumentals that I ended up
24:33
cutting. I got it though.
24:35
I'll keep it alive for you. Kid.
24:44
All right, so the one that I'm going to go with next is Mama
24:50
said or boom. Nope.
24:56
Okay. Okay.
24:57
It felt very much like a Red Hot Chili Peppers song to me for
25:01
some reason where it had like this weird like funkiness to it.
25:07
And there's a lot more focus on the base than there were a lot
25:10
of his other songs and I'm very Red Hot Chili Peppers song.
25:14
So this was another one where I thought, I might be the only one
25:17
on it. So I love take that ones.
25:21
I like the swings here off the Jump.
25:24
Yeah, for the fences. Yeah, absolutely.
25:28
That's the way you gotta go. All right.
25:39
What do I feel best about? This one, almost hit the floor
25:48
for a second when I was coming back through.
25:50
But like, as I was listening to it beforehand, I was like, no, I
25:55
feel like I made the right call the things that I used to do.
26:01
No. All right.
26:04
I don't think I have that one. I guess I could have cut it.
26:09
I was wrong. And his voice really close to
26:23
being in my top 20. This was one I cut yesterday
26:30
towards the end of my day on my way back home but like it's it
26:36
is an absolutely fantastic song and I would recommend anybody
26:39
that is listening to also add this makes this their 11th song,
26:43
hmm. So yeah.
26:47
I think this is one where I led because like right up a bad,
26:52
it's more about his voice. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we
26:57
didn't mention, I mean, we talked about his guitar playing,
27:00
he said, first feeling with his guitar playing and then we
27:03
forgot to mention some trouble is Pac-Man.
27:06
And then it's like, oh, we forgot his voice.
27:08
How about that voice please. All right.
27:15
Okay, so I mentioned this before, but we all know that his
27:20
final album actually came out posthumus and how fitting that
27:29
that this the title of the album just fit in with the way he
27:35
divided, then helicopter crash. And so I went with Skies trying
27:42
I unfortunately do not have it. All right.
28:02
Yeah, we got to do better than that.
28:05
All right, kid, all right, I'll go for one that I think all
28:09
three of you will have. This is another instrumental,
28:11
but fingers crossed Scuttle button.
28:15
Yes, of course. Yes.
28:18
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, that is it.
28:25
This is one for you talk about when you talk about the like,
28:29
bobbing your head or like happening toll over to, I was
28:31
like, this song immediately. Hmm.
28:57
It's right to it. And and it's a it's a jam.
29:01
Like it's it's fun. I'm into it.
29:03
So just like that on the kids for brush for.
29:08
Yes, good. I don't want to, I don't want
29:12
that responsibility. All right.
29:16
Um, This was a late. Add to how about couldn't stand
29:25
the weather? Yes.
29:28
Yes. That to yeses.
29:32
Yes. Yes, yes.
29:37
I really loved the like odd like stop-and-go that it had to it.
29:44
Yes, yes. Here Comes I said to give it a
29:55
second. Yeah, that's there.
30:04
That's near right there. Just yeah.
30:12
Yeah, funky as well to the what's essential?
30:20
All right, Brian boy. Okay, so I have of favorite
30:30
which I actually just discovered while listening to the whole
30:34
discography. They have another favorite that
30:37
I knew of and it's different. It's a boy.
30:41
I hate it. I have a bunch that I think will
30:43
be solid through so it but stuff, you know what, I'm just
30:46
gonna do it. I'm gonna, I'm gonna be like it,
30:48
I'm gonna go out there and say something that may no one may
30:51
ever. Have may have four but it was a
30:53
favorite of mine. So I'm going with change it.
30:58
Yeah, I know. I don't have it.
31:00
I do. Alright, I'll save you.
31:09
Kit. I think a not swinging for the
31:17
fences. This is a song that I hope both
31:19
of you have tightrope. I don't have that, I don't wait,
31:29
no, I don't end up being cut for a different song.
31:33
Okay. Okay, okay.
31:43
There we go. Yeah.
32:07
Six songs from that album On My Level 5 left.
32:15
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have a bunch of.
32:17
Oh, yeah. Let me see if I can find you
32:22
that. I've got a couple from there.
32:25
Let me love you, baby. I do not.
32:31
I don't either. I'm so sorry.
32:44
This is one. I don't have a reason for
32:45
cutting. I I just knew that I needed to
32:51
cut a song from this album at some point now that I'm like,
33:00
kind of looking at the songs again.
33:04
All right, right. So we talked about song on an
33:10
album and I don't think album representation is so important
33:15
with Stevie Ray because it's blues and blues Blues.
33:18
But yeah, I don't think he's gotten of on Brothers song in
33:22
yet. So I'm gonna hit you with a lawn
33:25
brothers and that the song I picked from Von Brothers, was
33:32
hard to be. Yes.
33:35
Okay. Know what?
33:37
It's got to do. Actually had did have a lot of
33:45
trouble with their record, like trying to come to grass with,
33:50
you know, right. It's so deliciously eighties.
33:53
Yeah, I mean, you know on, well, I guess if it was 27 I probably
34:08
had like four or five and I trimmed it.
34:10
I ended up trimming down to one One.
34:12
So I just had trouble comparing it to everything else, you know
34:20
like where does it say, where does it fit in?
34:23
I think ultimately that's but it is it.
34:26
You said delicious, it's delicious and delightfully 80s.
34:30
Like it is if you like a t-shirt, you'll like this.
34:33
So give it a listen, but it's funny because I actually kind of
34:37
had an opposite prep opposite process with that album I
34:40
started. Like, I'm busting through that.
34:43
I want sounds like no, I'm good. I will pass.
34:47
But then I ended up having like two or three from that album.
34:50
Yeah. So all right, it is your turn
34:54
kit. Oh yeah, it is.
35:00
I want to say, Scratch and sniff.
35:08
No, there's three that I cut today that I that I replaced
35:21
with other songs. Oh my God.
35:24
Okay, it's time to all of them. Why I don't often replace songs
35:53
as I'm going through the the first place.
35:56
Yeah, yeah. It's only fair that I tell you
36:00
the song that I replaced it with, I'll play it next Lenny.
36:05
I have that as well. Okay, so it's got to Oh man.
36:15
Okay officially I didn't see p. We have five 2's so good.
36:26
Worst case scenario everything in our conversation.
36:30
Completes our list. All right?
36:32
You're up. That's the only one.
36:33
Okay? So I was so there's only five
36:36
2's right up to three, okay? I always forget for right down
36:43
the tubes that I don't have and then we're having the
36:46
conversation. I'm like wait what?
36:49
I don't have that on my list you guys.
36:53
I wrote okay. Go back to a radio song by the
36:59
fine people. Then also a big song has played
37:02
at Austin City Limits. Crossfire I have I don't
37:22
The wrong way to go with is Little Wing.
37:26
Man. No, I couldn't because of Jimmy,
37:32
I wanted to like it. It is very good.
37:35
And I like, I like his little wing better than his his Voodoo
37:41
Child, but it's dude, it's Jimmy and it's hard, you know, maybe
37:49
that's not fair, but I can't, no, I can't even listen to
38:10
Yeah, yeah. All right.
38:20
Let me go all the way back to the beginning.
38:22
Love Struck baby. Mmm.
38:26
No, no. What kind of, wow.
38:42
For me, the song felt very much, like he like too much like his
38:48
other songs if that makes sense were kind of felt like he kind
38:52
of just made a song to make a song a little bit that's worth.
38:57
Like it's it's no doubt a good song but it felt kind of like
39:02
repetitive of like, Like taking what was successful about a
39:06
couple other songs and making it this like Monster Mash thing?
39:12
That was also good. But yeah, so I don't know if
39:18
you've heard an episode where, you know, I didn't lead with
39:20
this because I don't, I don't think with Stevie, you need to
39:23
but like I love it when an artist on track 1 album.
39:28
One tells you what they are and that's very much what this is
39:32
But to your point, I don't you get to it once you get to like
39:35
all the other ones like and you realize he does this sound
39:38
elsewhere. Yeah, but it's hard to remove
39:41
that feeling of this is the, this kind of put me right where
39:45
I needed to be. So yes.
39:48
All right. Brian.
39:53
Okay, I'm going to take a swing. So this one is a thousand
39:57
percent different. I wouldn't be shocked if nobody
40:00
else at it. It's the only acoustic track and
40:04
that is Life By the Drop. I should have it somewhere on
40:09
here. I re-added it, I think today.
40:19
I don't never mind. Oh, I'll tell you because to
40:26
your point it sticks out like a sore thumb and like the best way
40:29
possible. I don't have it.
40:30
I can't say hey I'm sorry but I right right?
40:34
I absolutely considered it because of that, I think this
40:38
is, this is great. And then like I thought about
40:42
it, I'm like this seems like a song that we could get people to
40:45
listen to if they dig him. You know this eels like yeah,
40:50
the fact that somebody brought it up is great because this is a
40:53
great time for me to mention. If you're listening to this
40:57
collect all the songs were talking about and make a
41:00
playlist. Listen to our 10 first.
41:02
And then, if you dig that expand out to the ones that didn't make
41:05
the combo or anything. And, and listen to that great.
41:09
If you want to, you want to watch TV, do a coup stick.
41:13
Yeah yeah and what I like about this too is that like it makes
41:17
me it makes me think what 90s? Stevie Ray Vaughn would have
41:23
been like this was towards the end.
41:25
This was this was off the this was off the sky is crying with
41:29
the posthumus collection so like where I mean Eric Clapton had a
41:36
Resurgence in the 90s like definitely like and you know one
41:41
for his own fault. Bugs.
41:43
And then like it makes me think like, like it's Stevie Ray
41:47
Vaughan had an unplugged, you know, like man, that's the
41:55
helicopter guy, you know, always and always Widow with his story
42:03
and with Ritchie Valens like they were told, do not take off.
42:07
Yeah. Like, you know, you know what,
42:09
we'll so I don't think he knows what happened was that night.
42:12
Right? They left a festival.
42:14
It was very foggy. They were told we were advised
42:17
to not leave. They left.
42:19
He fluid. The pilot flew into a mountain
42:22
in literally minutes after taking off just fool, right?
42:27
It's like a wall. Dang it like he was dead five
42:32
minutes after performing, you know, it was it's just terrible.
42:43
All right, we got to move away fast and far away from it.
42:47
Kit here up great. Um sadly to kind of continue the
42:52
note of, but that a little bit song that after, like learning
42:57
about that story for the first time, actually listening to this
43:01
song made me cry because it like felt like kind of connected to
43:06
it almost but like without that connection kind of feels like a
43:10
less naive version of a first break.
43:12
Cup song life without you. No, I must have seriously
43:23
considered because that's all I wanted to say.
43:26
Yeah. And I'm looking at my list I'm
43:29
like no. All right, so I've got 8 left.
43:45
I'm thinking, I don't know if I did my math
43:59
wrong, but I have six and I could be
44:13
Shoot. Which ones do I do though?
44:17
How about say, what? Yes.
44:23
No. Okay, so we're going to we're
44:27
hanging around. Brian six.
44:29
Like yeah, that's okay. I'm gonna hit it right now.
44:41
All right, here we go. Your come six, ready.
44:44
Cold Shot. No.
45:20
Leave my girl alone. Yeah, I got it.
45:31
Hanging by a thread. Let's see.
45:40
All right. How about honey, bee?
45:50
That was that was one of my last cut.
45:53
I do not This, this was one of my really
46:09
tough cuts. I did rather fond mother song.
46:19
Okay, my list I was trying to figure out, okay?
46:24
I'm gonna go with one more iconic song, try to hit it.
46:28
Look at little sister, I got it. I actually don't have it.
46:35
He's hungry for some reason. Like it's one of those songs
46:42
that I always like, have like, but for some reason, going
46:45
through this less, I didn't like I couldn't really connected to
46:51
like, make it work for this lesson.
46:54
Yes, it happens. It happens.
46:57
Kid, wall of denial. Denial.
47:06
No. Okay.
47:28
Four more four. One, two, three.
47:32
Four more chances at one unanimous.
47:37
I'll start at the top. Tell me.
47:41
No. Next one.
47:46
Come on. Part 3.
47:49
Yes, no. It's going to be a brutal combo.
48:04
Let's see, may I have a talk with you?
48:07
No, no, no. I feel like there's no chance of
48:19
family style Brothers, No no no. Not the other one I had proof.
48:28
Hell yeah we got to talk our way through it.
48:34
Okay tell me Mark that Other instrumental.
48:52
Okay, well, my darling. Nope, dirty pool.
49:03
Nope, empty arms. Yeah.
49:09
All right, to my last one from the Bong Brothers, Long Way
49:15
Home. Yes.
49:18
All right here more. Couple more to talk about to be
49:25
pretty close to done that and kit, right?
49:28
The only one I have left is a Boot Hill.
49:32
Well, we have we have oh, I skipped it.
49:33
Yes, Booth. Yes, I have.
49:35
Sorry, I couldn't stand the weather,
49:51
the houses. Rocking and I should have I
49:55
should have split the difference.
49:57
What do you mean? But we do have 13 that we now
50:00
need to whittle down to five yikes.
50:05
We go through the list to choose.
50:11
What do we got here? We've got rude.
50:14
Mood. Lenny, say what?
50:17
Look at little sister. Change it.
50:19
Empty arms. Come on.
50:21
Part 3. Crossfire leave my girl alone
50:25
Boot Hill. The Sky is Crying hard to be
50:28
long way from home. So we've already decided that
50:34
album representation doesn't really matter.
50:36
Yeah. But yeah, I don't think so.
50:39
Yeah, it's all, it's all Stevie Ray Vaughan songs.
50:43
That's yeah. Let me throw this out there
50:46
though. Do we do just for posterity
50:53
sake. Do we include automatically?
50:57
One of the ones from the album with his brother.
51:02
I want to say, yes. Yeah, I feel like we got to put
51:07
a Von brothers because his brother was it's older than his
51:12
brother. Was his inspiration for picking
51:13
up the guitar on the first place.
51:17
His brother was kind of a big deal and in their little Texas
51:20
town. So I feel like having Jimmy
51:27
there mean something. Okay.
51:30
Yeah. That leaves our options.
51:32
Too hard to be or Long Way from Home.
51:35
One of those. I'm okay.
51:37
With either. Whichever one you guys kind of
51:39
prefer. I prefer hard to be a little
51:47
more poppy, which again is different, but he does.
51:53
Some of his video hits are kind of Pop Papi.
51:56
I don't know what I'm saying. Anymore hard to beat the hard to
52:01
be is a little bit more of a tease.
52:08
Blues rock. It's very representative 80s.
52:10
Blues rock. I can't.
52:14
Now I can't for the life of me. I can sing like the course of
52:18
hard to be in my head, but I can't stop my head.
52:21
Think of long way home. That's right.
52:26
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
53:05
And look at the other two is I think so.
53:10
Can you can you play a little bit?
53:12
I just gotta get three, we memorize with it.
53:16
As it's, I don't want to say, oh, blues sound the same.
53:21
There is an element. There is
53:36
What's follow? Yeah, I like this.
53:38
This is very Jimmy without being Jimmy.
53:39
That's what we kind of just like Smooth.
53:55
Like feels like you're drinking water.
53:59
It just makes sense, but it's not.
54:03
Yeah, that's yeah that's just okay.
54:05
Okay so I was the holdout so yeah.
54:08
I mean just hearing that little bit instantly got me going.
54:11
So I'm gonna have to say yes. All right, so that brings us up
54:15
to seven. So same question.
54:16
Do you Brian? Is there one there is there to
54:18
out there that you're thinking, man, how did that not go
54:21
through? Yes, because I want to reiterate
54:27
the story of Stevie Ray Vaughan, being flown into a mountains and
54:33
say that, it's safe to say that the sky is crying should be.
54:39
When I, as the person who said, no, I will state.
54:45
I agree with you. That was one of those songs that
54:47
I really struggled to take off. So I definitely think it
54:51
deserves a spot. At least somewhere in there.
54:55
All right, so that puts us up to 8 so we've got to now.
54:57
Let's let's get dirty here. Let's figure out now it's tough.
55:01
So we're up to eight. Does that take out long way from
55:06
home? Do you think?
55:09
Oh yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, I like to look at it that
55:13
way. I feel that we've got that base
55:15
covered. No, go ahead.
55:20
I think it also takes out bill Okay.
55:23
That was going to be my next question.
55:26
Yeah, all right. So let's do that.
55:30
Boom. Okay.
55:32
So now let's see what we got here.
55:35
Rude mood. Say what?
55:36
Look at little sister, change it.
55:37
Empty arms. Come on part 3, Crossfire and
55:40
leave. My girl alone is there sort of
55:42
song There, Brian. Where you're like, very cool.
55:44
It made it this far, but you can go home now.
55:47
Okay. So here's where we.
55:49
So here's where we have drawn line to.
55:52
As I said over 4 over 4 albums, there was about 10
55:57
instrumentals. So So we had one that went in,
56:00
you can't, so we have some of mine.
56:02
So do we need another instrumental, which is brewed Or
56:08
I think just so Stevie that we need it.
56:13
I think I'm okay without it, just because there are other
56:16
songs that aren't instrumentals that are kind of, if he added,
56:21
if he was able to write words to Rude, mood, he would be like
56:25
these other songs. They were T already have.
56:28
So I'm okay with having enough, I also think that rude mood is
56:33
similar enough and sound to Scuttle button that.
56:37
Yes, we'll probably, you know, just putting the same song in
56:40
twice. Right.
56:42
Right, right. All right.
56:43
So, rude is out. All right.
56:46
Is there any else that's kind of sitting there that you're like,
56:49
nah or do you want to start focusing on the two that should
56:52
be in? Employee.
57:01
I okay, so I feel like you're, you know, the I'm trying to not
57:10
go to Wikipedia to find out which puts our Farms.
57:15
I'm 90% sure that Crossfire is recover.
57:18
I think I saw that again. And
57:44
T change. It's tough to make that like,
57:47
that was my favorite song. I think, my favorite of the new
57:50
songs that I just discovered, and if got that a different vibe
57:56
at the beginning, can you put that first?
58:00
Like I just want to hear change it, change it.
58:17
Still dark. At it so like of course, I'm
59:11
gonna go. Yeah.
59:13
But you know what, as the person who didn't have it, I'll I will
59:17
say this song should also be on earth like enough to take it for
59:22
sure. I knew I always knew kit with my
59:25
favorite of Alyssa's roommates. All right, so that brings us up
59:32
to number 9. We own.
59:36
Oh yeah with oh boy. Well now when I give up so now I
59:43
think if we have only one song left, I really feel like do at
59:49
this point like if we still had four five songs, I think you
59:53
look at a cover and go. Okay?
59:55
Yeah sure but as the the 10th song to make the list when
1:00:01
there's Stevie songs still in play Right.
1:00:06
Okay. Yes, you can take out Crossfire
1:00:09
Yeah. Alright so is there something
1:00:11
jumping out at you kit? Come on, part 3 and stuff.
1:00:15
Like one of those songs I like I did not hesitate to have in my
1:00:20
top 20. So I feel like that, that one
1:00:24
should at least be attempted to be captain.
1:00:31
We think we have 44 video hits.
1:00:58
So maybe you know, and the point is try and get to get people
1:01:03
into the boy is trying to get Stevie Ray Vaughan, not to Playa
1:01:07
Stevie Ray Vaughan, Greatest Hits.
1:01:09
Okay. Yeah.
1:01:10
So if it came down to look at little sister and come on part 3
1:01:16
and just for that alone, I would say that I would agree with come
1:01:19
on part 3 just to get one more. I said it's tough to not turn
1:01:27
and I can't. Just listen to a greatest hits
1:01:31
record, you know. Yeah.
1:01:34
And yeah and with houses are rocking and enjoy sky is crying
1:01:38
but it's the in the weather I just yeah, it's good to have a
1:01:42
deep cut in there. So I'm a my sister my only
1:01:48
complaint about come on. Part III is that there's no
1:01:50
point part one or two? Yes, especially the yeah,
1:01:55
especially since there's to come on part threes.
1:01:58
Yeah, right. All rights, right?
1:02:02
Let's do that. Let's take come on.
1:02:03
Part 3. I, you know, It's All Greek to
1:02:06
me. I did I, you know, other than
1:02:08
the one I obviously knew the one was a hit, but, alright, that
1:02:11
concludes our 10. So we've got pride and joy
1:02:14
Texas. Flood Scuttle, Scuttle button,
1:02:16
couldn't stand the weather. The house is rocking hard to be
1:02:18
Lenny. The Sky is Crying, change it.
1:02:21
Come on part 3. Now that 10 songs presented to
1:02:26
you Brian of those 10 which one's the One.
1:02:29
Oh my god. Well, there's like three that
1:02:32
gets the one and I think it's hard to The Sky is Crying Texas,
1:02:51
Flood that so much but um okay. Okay.
1:02:56
Alright, so like I feel feel like if I pick this, it's going
1:03:00
like Basic bitch and I don't know.
1:03:06
I really I really felt the sting of picking the wrong song for
1:03:10
the for the year from Death of the year for meatloaf.
1:03:18
I felt that sting so I don't want to get it wrong.
1:03:25
I don't want to be basic and say, pride and joy but it's Joy.
1:03:32
No, it's not.
1:04:01
All right enjoy. It's got a button for me for
1:04:05
number one. Yeah.
1:04:06
Just because like if it's not going to be popular song from
1:04:09
him it's going to be like that song.
1:04:11
I feel like really shows like like as a first-time listener
1:04:15
here, most likely be a holy shit.
1:04:18
Like this is insane. Like, what is going on that?
1:04:24
That shows his chaps like right now.
1:04:26
Like, right off the bat? Absolutely.
1:04:30
So I think, Between those two for me.
1:04:34
All right. All right, Brian.
1:04:36
The honest goes back to you, okay.
1:04:39
So So here's so here's my think I because it's got a bond is my
1:04:46
favorite of his instrumentals. One of my favorite songs in his
1:04:50
So like you said, I think I'll stay just in earlier.
1:04:54
This isn't like he's go to John Ray Stevie, right?
1:04:58
Except for when I want to feel nostalgic.
1:05:02
Like Stevie Ray is not really one of my go to shoes.
1:05:06
Like I actually I actually have a say as far as blues goes,
1:05:10
Steve raise the only artist that I listen to, I do once a year,
1:05:15
but on slowhand could score, that's a phenomenal record by
1:05:20
Captain. But Blues is not one of my go to
1:05:23
use. So I'm almost like, can we sell
1:05:28
somebody on an instrumental right off the top?
1:05:32
But the same kind, it's only two and a half minutes long, huh?
1:05:35
And it's Fierce and it crew today, it's Fierce.
1:05:42
Yeah. And and it's a good like so
1:05:46
again like the other side of what it is. is it will be the
1:05:51
first song on the playlist so you hear that first and then
1:05:55
you're like, okay cool, let's go and right so I mean You know do
1:06:03
we do? We risk scorn?
1:06:06
Not picking pride and joy but the thing is to your point Brian
1:06:09
like we could get scorn for picking pride and joy as well.
1:06:14
So yeah, yeah, we're either this thing afraid of, I think if you
1:06:19
do the one-two punch of like the Scuttle button and then followed
1:06:23
up with her and drawing like with pride and joy kind of being
1:06:25
like once you get through school one then it's like oh like
1:06:29
that's this guy. Yeah, with the pride and That
1:06:32
you were talking about. I think that will kind of be a
1:06:35
good kind of one-two punch for the playlist.
1:06:37
I think so too. All right, all right you do I
1:06:41
think we're going Scuttle button.
1:06:42
That's what it sounds like a bee.
1:06:46
Yeah it's wow. Hi this is this is like the last
1:06:50
thing that I expected but I do. I hope it's all about reading
1:06:56
makes a list. Yeah.
1:06:58
Yeah. And here we are considering it
1:07:01
number one and I think putting it number one because yeah.
1:07:06
You know what if people if people can't get those into two
1:07:09
and a half minutes if someone just I mean having ripping it
1:07:13
reading. Yeah sure.
1:07:15
Reading for two and a half minutes.
1:07:17
You know, if that doesn't, that doesn't bring you in that, I
1:07:21
don't think anything's going to and also steals not for you then
1:07:27
it's not for you anyway. So yeah, right.
1:07:30
Right, exactly. Yeah.
1:07:32
If you don't want to go to button then you're not going to
1:07:33
sit through Texas Flood. Yeah, you know, I also will work
1:07:38
my bias with choosing this song per square, one of the other the
1:07:42
program things like signed up for Was right at.
1:07:46
Yes, which is a completely instrumental a group like they
1:07:51
only do instrumental. So I'm aware that like my
1:07:54
button. There is a bias that I have
1:07:56
their little bit, but yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:07:59
All right. So sounds like we're locking it
1:08:01
in Scuttle button is our number one.
1:08:03
Let me switch over to Mike's do it.
1:08:04
I list here. It's got a button pride and joy.
1:08:07
I'm gonna wait to push play because it's a very short song
1:08:11
probably Texas. Flood couldn't stand the weather
1:08:14
the house. Is rocking hard to be Lenny.
1:08:16
The sky is crying and change it and last but not least, come on
1:08:20
part 3. Is our number 10 song.
1:08:24
