Though Texas blues guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughan will obviously be best remembered for his own catalog, he was a man who liked to spread his talent around. SOLOS, SESSIONS & ENCORES is a collection of archival tracks (most of them previously unreleased) that find the six-string wizard sitting in with everybody from Albert Collins to David Bowie, and generating the kind of excitement that made him the preeminent blues artist of his era, yet still never hogging the spotlight from his worthy cohorts.
