The first definitive biography of guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughan, with an Epilogue by Jimmie Vaughan, Foreword by drummer Chris Layton, and Afterword by bassist Tommy Shannon. Despite the cinematic scope of Vaughan's life and death, there has never been a truly proper accounting of his story--until now.
Just years after almost dying from a severe addiction to cocaine and alcohol, a clean and sober Stevie Ray Vaughan's last album was his most critically lauded and commercially successful. He was in a new and healthy romantic relationship. But on August 27, 1990 he was killed in a helicopter crash at 35 years old. Paul and Aledort provide the unadulterated truth about Vaughan with input from those who knew him best. They show how his legend and acclaim have grown, making him an undisputed international musical icon. -- adapted from jacket
