  • Absolutely beautiful! Would mind telling me where you got such a nice backing track for this song. I've been playing it a long time and have never found a track this good.

  • @kitofmitiwanga - Thanks for the compliment! That midi file was programmed by Glen Johansen from Barbados. Glen produced the CD that version of Riviera Paradise is on.

  • @kitofmitiwanga - Thanks very much for the kind words - I miss Stevie so much it hurts - he was (IMHO) the best blues guitarist there ever was, and probably ever will be.

  • where's the 6 star rating when you need it ?!?! this is played with the kind of soul that an SRV tune deserves.

  • Love this tune - miss Stevie so much it hurts - there's a great version of this on Curtis's CD "Masquerade" with a killer B3 solo!
