The debut that single-handedly revived blues-guitar in the 1980s, all fire and feel. Virtuosic without losing the groove. A modern blues landmark. Released in 1983, it's an early landmark for Stevie Ray Vaughan.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
