Background: Stephen Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 - August 27, 1990) was an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer. In spite of a short-lived mainstream career spanning seven years, he was one of the most influential guitarists in the revival of blues in the 1980s. AllMusic describes him as "a rocking powerhouse of a guitarist who gave blues a burst of momentum in the '80s, with influence still felt long after his tragic death." Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Vaughan began playing guitar at the age of seven, inspired by his older brother Jimmie.
Context: In September 1970, Vaughan made his first studio recordings with the band Cast of Thousands, which included future actor Stephen Tobolowsky. They recorded two songs, "Red, White and Blue" and "I Heard a Voice Last Night", for a compilation album, A New Hi, that featured various teenage bands from Dallas. In late January 1971, feeling confined by playing pop hits with Liberation, Vaughan formed his own band, Blackbird. After growing tired of the Dallas music scene, he dropped out of school and moved with the band to Austin, Texas, which had more liberal and tolerant audiences. There, Vaughan initially took residence at the Rolling Hills Country Club, a venue that would later become the Soap Creek Saloon. Blackbird played at several clubs in Austin and opened shows for bands such as Sugarloaf, Wishbone Ash, and Zephyr, but could not maintain a consistent lineup. In early December 1972, Vaughan left Blackbird and joined a rock band named Krackerjack; he performed with them for less than three months.  In March 1973, Vaughan joined Marc Benno's band, the Nightcrawlers, after meeting Benno at a jam session years before. The band featured vocalist Doyle Bramhall, who met Vaughan when he was twelve years old. The next month, the Nightcrawlers recorded an album at Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood for A&M Records. While the album was rejected by A&M, it included Vaughan's first songwriting efforts, "Dirty Pool" and "Crawlin'". Soon afterward, he and the Nightcrawlers traveled back to Austin without Benno. In mid-1973, they signed a contract with Bill Ham, manager for ZZ Top, and played various gigs across the South, though many of them were disastrous. Ham left the band stranded in Mississippi without any way to make it back home and demanded reimbursement from Vaughan for equipment expenses; Ham was never reimbursed.  In 1975, Vaughan joined a six-piece band called Paul Ray and the Cobras that included guitarist Denny Freeman and saxophonist Joe Sublett. For the next two-and-a-half years, he earned a living performing weekly at a popular venue in town, the Soap Creek Saloon, and ultimately the newly opened Antone's, widely known as Austin's "home of the blues". In late 1976, Vaughan recorded a single with them, "Other Days" as the A-side and "Texas Clover" as the B-side. Playing guitar on both tracks, the single was released on February 7, 1977. In March, readers of the Austin Sun voted them as Band of the Year. In addition to playing with the Cobras, Vaughan jammed with many of his influences at Antone's, including Buddy Guy, Hubert Sumlin, Jimmy Rogers, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Albert King.  Vaughan toured with the Cobras during much of 1977, but near the end of September, after they decided to strive for a mainstream musical direction, he left the band and formed Triple Threat Revue, which included singer Lou Ann Barton, bassist W. C. Clark, and drummer Fredde Pharaoh. In January 1978, they recorded four songs in Austin, including Vaughan's composition "I'm Cryin'". The thirty-minute audio recording marks the only known studio recording of the band. CANNOTANSWER

Bakgrund: Stephen Ray Vaughan (3 oktober 1954 - 27 augusti 1990) var en amerikansk musiker, sångare, låtskrivare och skivproducent. Trots en kortlivad mainstreamkarriär som sträckte sig över sju år var han en av de mest inflytelserika gitarristerna inom bluesens återupplivande under 1980-talet. AllMusic beskriver honom som "ett gungande kraftpaket av en gitarrist som gav blues en explosion av fart på 80-talet, med inflytande kändes fortfarande långt efter hans tragiska död." Född och uppvuxen i Dallas, Texas, började Vaughan spela gitarr vid sju års ålder, inspirerad av sin äldre bror Jimmie. Context: I september 1970 gjorde Vaughan sina första studioinspelningar med bandet Cast of Tusentals, där bland annat den blivande skådespelaren Stephen Tobolowsky ingick. De spelade in två låtar, "Red, White and Blue" och "I Heard a Voice Last Night", för ett samlingsalbum, A New Hi, som innehöll olika tonårsband från Dallas. I slutet av januari 1971, då Vaughan kände sig begränsad av att spela pophits med Liberation, bildade han ett eget band, Blackbird. Efter att ha tröttnat på Dallas musikscen hoppade han av skolan och flyttade med bandet till Austin, Texas, som hade mer liberal och tolerant publik. Där bosatte sig Vaughan till en början på Rolling Hills Country Club, en lokal som senare skulle bli Soap Creek Saloon. Blackbird spelade på flera klubbar i Austin och öppnade spelningar för band som Sugarloaf, Wishbone Ash, och Zephyr, men kunde inte upprätthålla en konsekvent lineup. I början av december 1972 lämnade Vaughan Blackbird och gick med i ett rockband vid namn Krackerjack; han uppträdde med dem i mindre än tre månader. I mars 1973 gick Vaughan med i Marc Bennos band, Nightcrawlers, efter att ha träffat Benno vid en jamsession flera år tidigare. Bandet presenterade vokalisten Doyle Bramhall, som träffade Vaughan när han var tolv år. Nästa månad spelade Nightcrawlers in ett album på Sunset Sound Recorders i Hollywood för A&M Records. Medan albumet refuserades av A&M, innehöll det Vaughans första låtskrivarinsatser, "Dirty Pool" och "Crawlin'". Strax därefter reste han och nattskärarna tillbaka till Austin utan Benno. I mitten av 1973 skrev de kontrakt med Bill Ham, manager för ZZ Top, och spelade olika spelningar över hela södern, även om många av dem var katastrofala. Ham lämnade bandet strandsatt i Mississippi utan något sätt att ta sig hem igen och krävde ersättning från Vaughan för utrustningskostnader; Ham fick aldrig ersättning. 1975 gick Vaughan med i ett sexdelat band som hette Paul Ray and the Cobras som bland annat innehöll gitarristen Denny Freeman och saxofonisten Joe Sublett. Under de kommande två och ett halvt åren tjänade han ett levebröd på att uppträda varje vecka på en populär plats i staden, Soap Creek Saloon, och slutligen den nyöppnade Antones, allmänt känd som Austins "home of the blues". I slutet av 1976 spelade Vaughan in en singel med dem, "Other Days" som A-sidan och "Texas Clover" som B-sidan. Spelar gitarr på båda spåren, singeln släpptes den 7 februari 1977. I mars röstade läsare av Austin Sun fram dem som Årets band. Förutom att spela med Cobras jammade Vaughan med många av sina influenser hos Antone, bland andra Buddy Guy, Hubert Sumlin, Jimmy Rogers, Lightnin' Hopkins, och Albert King. Vaughan turnerade med Cobras under stora delar av 1977, men nära slutet av september, efter att de bestämt sig för att sträva efter en mainstreammusikalisk riktning, lämnade han bandet och bildade Triple Threat Revue, där bland andra sångaren Lou Ann Barton, basisten W. C. Clark, och trummisen Fredde Pharaoh ingick. I januari 1978 spelade de in fyra låtar i Austin, bland annat Vaughans komposition "I'm Cryin'". Den trettio minuter långa ljudinspelningen markerar den enda kända studioinspelningen av bandet. CANNOTANSWER Fråga: När spelade han in sitt första album? Svar:
