That's how I sorta feel about Stevie Ray Vaughan. Take any individual song and it's great. Texas Flood, for example, was wonderful. Take his songs as a unit and he's repetitive as hell in his guitar solos. But then pair him with another blues legend like Albert King where he's not just mailing it in and suddenly he's great again.

I think SRV had massive talent but a limited imagination when left to his own devices.

SRV was young. At the time he should have been finding his voice (about 20-25 years old) he was having quite a bit of drug problems.

He had finally dried himself out and then died in a helicopter crash at 35.
