Albert King / Stevie Ray Vaughan: In Session [Region 1] [DVD]

Description: In SessionOn December 6, 1983, legendary blues guitarist Albert King joined his disciple Stevie RayVaughan on a Canadian sound stage for the live music television series In Session. Magichappened. The highly sought after video footage from that one-time renowned summit becomesavailable for the first time ever with the release of Stax Records' DVD In Session.The DVD contains three classic performances unavailable on the previously issued audio disc:"Born Under a Bad Sign," the landmark title track from Albert King's biggest Stax release writtenby William Bell and Booker T. Jones; Stevie Ray's "Texas Flood," the Larry Davis-penned titletrack of Vaughan's immortal debut album; and "I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town," madefamous by Louis Jordan and later, Ray Charles."It was evident from the first choruses," writes liner notes author/musicologist Samuel Charters,"that they were playing for each other. And that was the best audience either of them could everhave. The music never lost its intensity, its quality of something very important being handed backand forth and there was time for Stevie and Albert to see where their ideas took them."Accolades have showered upon this momentous encounter. "As a document of what wasprobably one of the greatest nights in the musical life of SRV, this belongs in the collection ofevery true fan," said the Austin American-Statesman. Sonic Boomers added, "Both men are gonenow, but rare recordings like In Session remind us of a time when blues giants still walked theearth side by side." Elmore magazine called it "an indispensible part of any blues fan's collection."And BluesWax noted, "thank goodness, this disc lives on and on."Now this previously unavilable visual document featuring two giants of American blues can beenjoyed by audiences the world over. Sadly, King and Vaughan would not share a stage togetherever again. Vaughan, 31 years King's junior, died in a helicopter crash in the fog on the way backfrom a concert in 1990. King outlived him by two years, dying of a heart attack in 1992. Theydidn't meet often, and their careers took different paths. But we can all be grateful for that onelong day in a television studio when sparks flew and this timeless performance was forevercaptured.Tracks:01. Introduction02. Texas Flood03.
