Stevie Ray Vaughan: The Audio of Our 1989 Interview About Jimi Hendrix
SRV Talks About Jimi’s Influence, Blues Playing, and “Red House”
While an editor for Guitar Player magazine, I wrote a Jimi Hendrix cover story that included a Soundpage of a previously unreleased recording of “Red House,” taped on October 11, 1968, at Winterland.
While researching the article, I asked Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Satriani, and Jimi’s former bandmates Noel Redding and Billy Cox to share their perspectives on Jimi’s blues playing and the song “Red House.” Quotes from these conversations appeared as part of my May 1989 cover story.
