Ridiculously rare LP that has a 15 year old Stevie Ray Vaughan on two (lame)tracks.Below is a killer laid back funky instrumental titled "Answer To My Dreams" by Blue Persuasion......enjoy.

    Yeah....and has a poster with a young punk SRV looking too cool for his own good.

    But the funny thing is his band is the worst on the LP.....two other bands totally shred it on the hard rock vibe and Blue Persuasion has two funky instros.

    Perhaps that is because Stevie Ray Vaughan is overrated and could never write a good song?

    I couldn't agree with you more.

    I got into a long debate with a friend-of-a-friend neo-hippie about SRV. He claimed SRV was the greatest guitar player of all time, which is ridiculous, considering SRV himself would've given the nod to someone like B.B. King, just to name one.

    Just how lame are these SRV tracks? Lame even in the context of high school music?

    It's good. Like where the song Burning Spear meets Spooky.

    From memory those Cast of Thousands tracks also have actor Steven Toblowosky on them, I've seen a picture of the band with him & SRV in it. I don't think he was in the band, just brought in to play some guitar for the recordings.

    Great track! So damned tasteful and mature for high school kids.

    True, although it's spelled Tobolousky on the LP(sic?).

    The keyboard player on the cut I posted went on to play with Freddy King and the guitarist was in the 80's group Zoom.
