Pretty good! I like the nice Gretsch guitars and the stand up bass. A little bit of the playing style reminds me of the SRV I've seen.
 
a classic American rock band and will prove to be timeless.

they rocked the house down in Europe!

Stevie Ray made Texas blues and rockabilly popular, but it wasn't new. If he never recorded "Voodoo Child" most folks would of never heard of him. So along those lines, check out .......The Paladins......

I gotta disagree with you about Stevie. Most record-buying folks would have heard of him from 1) the very popular Texas Flood album (reaching 38 in the charts of 1983) and, 2) from his participation on David Bowie's Let's Dance, which was released before TX Flood, and became a huge hit. Both of these records put SRV right on the map, almost a full year before "Voodoo Child" was released on Couldn't Stand the Weather.
But yeah, the Paladins were a smoking band.
 
To bad they broke up . . . I really dug the Paladins . . . "Let's Buzz" is a cool album as well as "Years Since Yesterday"

hey, great avatar BTW

SRV was playing clubs in downtown DC before and after Texas Flood, and can't remember him selling out. His time with Bowie was mostly brought to light after his solo records. But, I agree, most record buyers SHOULD of heard of him, but it wasn't until he got top 40 airplay that the masses bought his records.
Music lovers devoured Texas Flood, with good reason, so your point is well taken.
 
I know Stevie and Paladin, Paladin before Stevie, I guess since I lived in TX and saw them a time or two..

And then I also know Jimmy Vaughn, because he kicked ass with the Thunderbirds..

All a great line and sound...
