Jimmie graciously allowed his band to open for the Stones a couple times in 1981.
Fun guitar player if you've never seen him...



Texas Blues guitar legend Jimmie Vaughan has had to cancel a string of concert dates including the Mahindra Blues Festival in India after suffering a heart attack last week (January 23, 2013)

In a post on the festival’s website stated in part: “Jimmie Vaughan was admitted to Pomona Hospital Medical Center on January 23rd, 2013 with an acute myocardial infraction (heart attack). He had a coronary angioplasty and stent placement. He is still in the hospital but recovering and has been advised by his cardiologist to rest at home for a month.”

He’s a founding member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds and is the big brother of late Blues legend Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Get well soon Jimmie!

"Lee"?

Don't want to be a tool but I think you mean myocardial infarction.

I have every single one of their albums, absolutely adore the T-birds. Seen them several times here in London. Get well Jimmy Vaughan.

Better guitarrist than Stevie

fab t-birds were my fave band there back in their early daze. mike buck (and then fran christina) with keith ferguson were a crack rhythm section. jimmie's lost a lot of his chops over the years, unfortunately. he plays around town here, mostly freebies. still has the look....he'll be back.

How ironic. A week ago I was speaking with a young man who is the music director at my church. He told me that his dad was the bassist for Jimmie's band for many years. I looked it up and, sure enough, Tommy Carter is the guy. I've spoken with him on many occasions but had no idea of his past.

Let's just hope he makes a speedy and complete recovery.

Missing some chops, and missing some picks.
Last time JLV hit up Antone's I asked for his pick he tossed 30 of 'em at me...

Now if only Dale Watson would follow suit...

God Speed!

A great night on the riverboat queen...

so who's this Stevie guy? He's seems ok on guitar

I loved it when Jimmie Vaughn and Lou Ann Barton teamed up what a duo.

Get well and take care of yourself and get plenty or rest.

Lou Ann Barton was the vocalist in the original line-up of "Double Trouble", Johnny Reno was on sax too...

He is not the best guitarist, but approaches the music with great respect and love. I like his stuff. I like that he has never tried to be Stevie and Stevie never tried to be Jimmy. Saw him once. The line-up was:

J. Geils and Magic Dick's Bluestime
Jimmy Vaughn
Etta James
BB King

Great show

Check out "Family Style" by the Vaughan Brothers...classic.

Man, I miss Stevie.

I always liked Jimmy's style better than Stevie's myself.Less is more I guess..but I always liked the T-Birds better too...

Is it possible you just annoyed him and he was trying to hurt you?

Possible?
My good Canadian read the post again...
I was beered up and screaming his name 3 feet away from him in a half empty blues bar...

Wait, is that why Dale won't follow suit?

I just found the Fab Thunderbirds "Girls Go Wild" 1979 vinyl in my room and I'm listening to it right now

On vinyl no less!

turn up "She's Tuff"

i have that on vinyl - but the vinyl is badly warped. on she's tuff enough...kim wilson just keeps laughing and laughing and laughing...it gets annoying after a few hours, so i eventually take the needle off and put on something else.
