Jimmie Vaughan waited nine years before releasing last year’s Plays Blues, Ballads & Favorites, but it took only 12 more months to come back with a follow-up. The older brother and mentor to the late and enormously popular blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmie Vaughan has played a major role for decades in carrying on blues traditions himself. The second volume of cover versions from the Texan guitarist proves as entertaining as last year's collection of vintage R&B and early rock'n'roll. Founder of the Fabulous Thunderbirds (and big brother to the late Stevie Ray), Vaughan yokes his stinging, minimalist guitar to a driving band laden with growling saxes. Standards such as Amos Milburn's "Bad Bad Whiskey" mix with unusual takes of Hank Williams and Ray Charles numbers as Vaughan switches between up-tempo rockers and down-hearted blues and his vocal sidekick, Lou Ann Barton, adds sass. An old master at play.
