this week’s wax:
TEXAS FLOOD - Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble

This week we explore Texas Flood, the debut studio album by American blues rocker Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, released on June 13, 1983 on Epic Records.

We present our weekly “WAX” series In the spirit of the “Jazz Kissa” concept in Japan, we celebrate essential vinyl albums played through our HiFi sound system in our acoustically treated lounge with albums played start to finish. Two separate listening sessions of the weekly selected album occur on Thursdays with needle drops at 5:30p and 7:30p.

Texas Flood was recorded in the space of three days at Jackson Browne’s personal recording studio in Los Angeles. Vaughan wrote six of the album's ten tracks. The album was named after the song Texas Flood recorded by blues singer Larry Davis in 1958. Texas Flood was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry.

Come early, grab a drink and settle in. Our Get Happy Hour starts at 4pm. We’ll see you soon!
