This is a fine album. It’s been a real challenge editing photos so as not to give anything away about high res Tidal while doing beta testing. And now we have it.
Yes, a good one. I have it on an old Vogue LP pressing but have been pondering the recent Craft reissue (partially thanks to @TheKevster’s excellent sales job) .
On to Albert King in session with Stevie Ray Vaughan. A cracker, 2 blues giants jamming and clearly having fun.

Not sure he’s their equal, as brilliant as he is. The Beatles changed our culture. Dylan is arguably comparable. Maybe James Brown.
Agree 100% about the Beatles, and like your take on Dylan and James Brown. But… one could argue that Stevie was a monumental force for cultural change among African-Americans, with a consistent message of positivity, integrity and Black pride.
Anyway, thanks for starting this discussion, and for your thoughtful replies.
