Synopsis
The life and career of one of the greatest blues guitarists of the post-1960s era is exhaustively recounted in Joe Nick Patoski and Bill Crawford's unauthorized biography, CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE. Patoski and Crawford trace Vaughan's early years in various bar bands, his influences (who included Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton), and the evolution of his blistering guitar attack in countless one-night-stands around Dallas and nearby Austin. Backed by his band, Double Trouble, he gained a reputation as one of the finest post-Hendrix interpreters of the blues. David Bowie hired him to play on his LET'S DANCE album, though the lure of performing his own music led Vaughan to pull out of the subsequent tour to return to his band. The guitarist's growing drug and alcohol habits led to a falling-off in the quality of his music around the late 1980s, and then to a stay in rehab, though on his reemergence his playing had regained its former power. He died in a helicopter accident after a Milwaukee show with Eric Clapton, in 1990. With contributions from many of Vaughan's friends and musical associates, CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE is a well-researched and sympathetic biography of this master blues guitarist.
