Tightrope - Stevie Ray Vaughan (acoustic cover)

TUTORIAL: MUSIC: FACEBOOK: Instagram: WEBSITE: “Tightrope“ is such a great song for many reasons. It provides testimony to Stevie’s struggles with substance abuse and also his recovery. Amazingly, he does this without being cheesy or preachy -- its genuine, heartfelt and a killer song as well! Its got a fantastic solo, one of my favourites of his and there’s some awesome moments of interplay between him and the band. His vocal on this tune is particularly outstanding and I don’t think he gets enough credit as a singer. Stevie was a truly great singer of blues, soul and rock and roll! Its the 31st anniversary of his death this week and I know we all miss him dearly. What a man he was! I hope you enjoy this acoustic version :) “Tightrope“ was originally released on the album In Step in 1989 by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. EQUIPMENT: Stonebridge OM32SM
