Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins and BB King – Texas Flood

Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins and BB King – Texas Flood – Live In New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival!

Texas Flood is the song that defines the unique style of Albert and SRV and to see that bb manages to take it in 180° to “bb scale” makes you see the great musician he truly was, there is no whos better cause SRV got the best technique but it’s all about the feel, each major blues player got he own style and it’s a matter of personal taste to which style you relate the most.

Holy Smokes! The Iceman, Blues Boy and SRV are on the same stage!! Absolutely excellent version of Texas Flood. TRUE MUSICIANS on stage bringing down the house.

Lyrics:
Well there’s floodin’ down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down
Well there’s floodin’ down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down
And I’ve been tryin’ to call my baby
Lord and I can’t get a single sound

Well dark clouds are rollin’ in
Man I’m standin’ out in the rain
Well dark clouds are rollin’ in
Man I’m standin’ out in the rain
Yeah flood water keep a rollin’
Man it’s about to drive poor me insane

Well I’m leavin’ you baby
Lord and I’m goin’ back home to stay
Well I’m leavin’ you baby
Lord and I’m goin’ back home to stay
Well back home are no floods or tornados
Baby and the sun shines every day
