The Vaughan brothers helped revive the Texas blues, bringing the sound to the national stage as they played with performers such as David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. Stevie Ray Vaughan’s life ended in 1990 at age 35 in a fatal helicopter crash after opening a show for Clapton in Wisconsin. “There are tons of books and movies out [about Stevie Ray Vaughan], but all the good documentaries always missed Jimmie’s voice,” he says.
