Strange Pleasure

Description

Following the success he achieved with his Fabulous Thunderbirds and a notable collaboration with his "little" brother Stevie Ray, "Strange Pleasure" (1994) is Jimmie Vaughan's first solo album, co-produced by Nile Rodgers! Recorded in 1994, this iconic album, produced by the legendary Nile Rodgers and masterfully mastered by Bob Ludwig, marks a key moment in the career of Jimmie Vaughan, co-founder of the Fabulous Thunderbirds and older brother of Stevie Ray Vaughan. While remaining deeply rooted in the blues, "Strange Pleasure" transcends its boundaries by incorporating touches of jazz, soul, and gospel. The album includes memorable tracks such as Boom-Bapa-Boom, Flamence Dancer, Tilt A Whirl, as well as the moving tribute to Jimmie's brother, Six Strings Down. This double vinyl reissue offers a rare opportunity to rediscover an album that not only redefined modern blues but also confirmed Jimmie Vaughan as an artist in his own right, capable of capturing a wide range of emotions through his music.
