Soul To Soul by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble.
By 1985, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble had established themselves as one of the most electrifying forces in modern blues, and "Soul To Soul" captures the band at a pivotal moment of expansion. This 2012 reissue from Sony Music Entertainment brings the record back to the turntable, presenting the original 1985 album in full for a new generation of listeners and longtime devotees alike.
The most significant change here is the addition of keyboardist Reese Wynans, whose organ and piano broaden the group's sound beyond the classic trio format. Alongside Vaughan on guitar and vocals, Tommy Shannon on bass, and Chris Layton on drums, Wynans adds a fuller harmonic foundation. Saxophonist Joe Sublett also lends his voice to the sessions, pushing the band toward a richer, more soulful palette that lives up to the album's title.
The record opens with the instrumental "Say What!," a showcase for Vaughan's tone and touch, before moving through highlights like "Look At Little Sister," "Change It," and "Empty Arms." The set closes with "Life Without You," a heartfelt piece that gives the album an emotional weight beyond its blues and R&B roots. Across both sides, the interplay between Vaughan and his bandmates remains the central attraction, balancing fierce guitar work with genuine feeling.
The album was recorded at Dallas Sound Labs in Dallas, Texas, and Riverside Sound in Austin, Texas, capturing the deep Texas blues character that runs through Vaughan's playing. Production was handled by Vaughan and Double Trouble together with Richard Mullen, who also mixed and engineered the sessions, with Ron Cote assisting. Legendary talent scout John Hammond served as executive producer, continuing his long association with the band.
Beyond the music, the record carries a personal dimension. It is dedicated to the memory of Charlie Wirz, a quiet reminder of the community and friendships surrounding the band during these years. The packaging features art direction by Holland Macdonald and photography by Britian Hill, framing the music with a visual identity befitting the era.
For collectors and blues enthusiasts, "Soul To Soul" stands as an essential chapter in the Stevie Ray Vaughan catalog, documenting the moment his band grew from a trio into something larger and more layered. This reissue offers a chance to experience that evolution on vinyl, a fitting home for one of the most passionate and skilled guitarists the blues has produced.
