BLUES AT SUNRISE
By FISH GRIWKOWSKY



BLUES AT SUNRISE
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
(Sony)

"At the record company meeting, on their hands - a dead star and, ooh, the plans that they weave and, ooh, the sickening greed.

"At the record company meeting, on their hands - a dead star the sycophantic slags all say: 'I knew him first, and I knew him well'

"Reissue! Repackage! Repackage!

"Re-evaluate the songs' double-pack with a photograph. Extra track (and a tacky badge).

"A-list, playlist. 'Please them, please them!'

" 'Please them! Please them!' (sadly, THIS was your life)."

- The Smiths, Paint a Vulgar Picture.

Blues at Sunrise, a cheap re-hash of Stevie Ray Vaughan's previously released material does nothing to enhance the reputation of the late blues guitarist. Heed the words of the great Smith's song and don't fall for this cheap record company trick. Go buy the four- and five-star originals, and hiss in the dark at this new shill.
