Stevie Ray Vaughan: Made In Texas Radio Hour Pt. 4

A rare treat from the archives: Stevie Ray Vaughan's friend and biographer Keri Leigh gives an in-depth interview about SRV on "The Made in Texas Radio Hour," a syndicated FM radio program, on the anniversary of Stevie's passing.

In part 4, Leigh talks about the death of Stevie's father Big Jim Vaughan, describing how the effect of that event, combined with years of self-abuse, culminated in Stevie's collapse and brought him to the brink of death.

As Stevie cleaned himself up from substance abuse, he inspired thousands of other musicians and fans (including his friend and future biographer Keri Leigh) to do the same. Here Keri recalls the change in Stevie; moving back home to Dallas, taking control of his career, and learning to love life without the constant crutch of drugs and alcohol.

This special video production features photos from Leigh's SRV biography, "Stevie Ray: Soul To Soul" (National Book Network) and other sources, as well as some rare previously unpublished photos of Vaughan from the author's personal archives.

Many of these images can also be viewed by the public at the Center for American History on the University of Texas' Austin campus, where Leigh donated her research papers for the book and a large portion of her SRV collection.

This 90-minute radio show is divided into 5 parts, all of which will be uploaded and shared on YouTube in the coming weeks.
