Stevie Ray Vaughan - 1975; The Cobras - Texas Clover

[customsuzuki]

This is not Stevie on lead,it's Denny Freeman , the other guitarist in the band. Saw them every Tuesday night in Austin in 76-77 at Soap Creek Saloon before Stevie left to do his own thing. They referred to this song as Texas Reggae. This single was released in 76. I won a copy at the release party at Soap Creek as a door prize. They had just been voted Band of the Year in the Austin Sun , the hip music paper at the time.

This is a great snapshot of Austin, Texas in 1975. Paul Ray & the Cobras were the hottest thing in town and they had this young hotshot guitar player, his brother Jimmie was rockin the town with the Fabulous Thunderbirds, but you could tell this kid was going to be good. This is Stevie ray's first official recording and I have five mint copies for sale, never been played.

Almost sounds reggae in an awkward good kind of way.

Love it, just finished reading the SRV biog "Day After Day Night After Night" and it's great to find some recordings from his early years on here, Many Thanks! :)

'82 ...Cobras with Junior Medlow / Denny Freeman / Derek O'Brien ... have to wring your shirt out after their shows.

WOW. Whoever uploaded this must have gotten it from somewhere, but probably got it when this stuff was fresh... Otherwise, it'd be great if I could get a copy of this.

[Kueck10893]

What I would DO to get a copy of this. Can't find it anywhere.

[tuberomo]

well bryan let me tell you this is not mexican at all,what u r thinking is texano and is not even close to that, ok ,so let's not put any ignorant comments, this just some kind of CALIPSO! feel OK!! look for roots of reggae music. Have a good one.

[bluessmith]

geez, it was just a comment. thats what they have the comment box for.

[bryandunnblues]

I guess this is no diffrent then when I have to play a Sublime tune in the clubs right after killin Texas flood? a mans got to eat.

This style of music is actually Mexican, it has a name I cant remeber- Tehuno?

[WhatUsee00]

thanks

[pigboycooter]

you've might have found it by now but if not enter stevie ray vaughn cobras, it should come right up for ya.

[BluegrassRules1973]

Wow this is ALOT different than Stevie Ray was when he was with double trouble! I guess that's how it goes when you are playing for someone and then playing for yourself! This music is very good just different than what most SRV fans are used to! So I don't want anybody to think that I am ragging on the Cobras as I am not SRV could have played with 4 piles of shit and I would still like it probably!lol

[starkenekkid]
