Texas Flood  is the debut studio album by the American  blues rock  band  Stevie Ray Vaughan  and  Double Trouble, released on June 13, 1983, by  Epic Records. The album was named after a  cover song  featured on the album, "Texas Flood", which was first recorded by  blues  singer  Larry Davis  in 1958. Produced by the band and  recording engineer  Richard Mullen,  Texas Flood  was recorded in the space of three days at  Jackson Browne's personal recording studio in Los Angeles. Vaughan wrote six of the album's ten tracks. Two  singles, "Love Struck Baby" and "Pride and Joy", were released from the album. A music video was made for "Love Struck Baby" and received regular rotation on  MTV  in 1983.  Texas Flood  was reissued in 1999 with five bonus tracks, including an interview segment, studio outtake, and three live tracks recorded on September 23, 1983, at  The Palace  in Hollywood, California. The album was reissued again in 2013, with two CDs in celebration of the album's 30th anniversary. Disc 1 is the original album with one bonus track, "Tin Pan Alley". Disc 2 is selections from a previously unreleased concert recorded at Ripley's Music Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on October 20, 1983, originally recorded for the King Biscuit Flower Hour radio program. Texas Flood  received positive reviews, with critics praising the deep blues sound, and Vaughan’s songwriting, while some criticized the album for straying too far from mainstream rock. A retrospective review by  AllMusic  awarded it five out of five stars.

Stephen Ray Vaughan  (also known as  SRV; October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) was an American musician, best known as the guitarist and frontman of the  blues rock  trio Stevie Ray Vaughan and  Double Trouble. Although his mainstream career spanned only seven years, he is considered one of the most influential musicians in the history of  blues  music, and one of the greatest guitarists of all time. He was the younger brother of guitarist  Jimmie Vaughan. Born and raised in  Dallas, Vaughan began playing guitar at age seven, initially inspired by his brother Jimmie. In 1972, he dropped out of high school and moved to  Austin, where he began to gain a following after playing gigs on the local club circuit. Vaughan joined forces with  Tommy Shannon  on bass and  Chris Layton  on drums as Double Trouble in 1978. The band established itself in the  Austin music scene  and soon became one of the most popular acts in Texas. They performed at the  Montreux Jazz Festival  in July 1982, where  David Bowie  saw Vaughan play. Bowie contacted him for a studio gig in December where he played blues guitar on the album  Let's Dance  (1983).  John Hammond  heard a demo album that Vaughan and Double Trouble had recorded and interested major label  Epic Records  in signing them to a record deal in March 1983. Within months, they achieved mainstream success for the critically acclaimed debut album  Texas Flood. With a series of successful network television appearances and extensive concert tours, Vaughan became the leading figure in the blues revival of the 1980s. Vaughan struggled with alcoholism and drug addiction for most of his life. He also struggled with the personal and professional pressures of fame and his marriage to Lenora "Lenny" Bailey. He successfully completed rehabilitation and began touring again with Double Trouble in November 1986. His fourth and final studio album  In Step  reached number 33 in the United States in 1989; it was one of Vaughan's most critically and commercially successful releases and included his only number-one hit, "Crossfire". He became one of the world's most popular blues performers, and he headlined  Madison Square Garden  in 1989 and the  Beale Street Music Festival  in 1990. On August 27, 1990, Vaughan and four others were  killed in a helicopter crash  in  East Troy, Wisconsin, after performing with Double Trouble at  Alpine Valley Music Theatre. An investigation concluded that the cause of the accident was pilot error. Vaughan's music continued to achieve commercial success with several posthumous releases and has sold over 15  million albums in the United States alone.  Rolling Stone  has twice ranked him among the top twenty guitar players of all time. Vaughan was posthumously inducted into the  Rock and Roll Hall of Fame  in 2015, along with Double Trouble bandmates Chris Layton, Tommy Shannon, and  Reese Wynans.
