Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.com
This 1985 release, Vaughan's third, marks a fittingly impressive close to his classic period. Reese Wynans' keyboards give Vaughan's sound added depth and pushes the music in a more polished direction, one with stronger elements of jazz and soul. Vaughan's serrated guitar work is stunning as usual, boasting expressive bends, passionate flurries, and pained wails. As on the first two albums, Vaughan opens with a furious instrumental, the groovy "Say What!" "Lookin' Out the Window" has an R&B style and the superb "Gone Home" settles into a mellow jazz mood. The uptempo "Look at Little Sister" and the super-slow "Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up on Love" display Vaughan's mastery of straightforward Texas blues. Vaughan also works up Earl King's "Come On" and shows sensitivity on the ballad "Life Without You." -- Marc Greilsamer
Guitar lovers will flip over this reissue's new bonus tracks: a conversation in which Stevie Ray Vaughan extols the virtues of Jimi Hendrix's playing and then essays them all in a medley of "Little Wing/Third Stone From the Sun." There's also the brief slide-guitar instrumental "Slip Slidin' Slim." What's breathtaking about these and the 10 remastered cuts that were the original 1985 album are the remarkably live amplifier tones. It sounds as though Vaughan's plugged directly into your stereo--especially at the climax of "Little Wing," where his Stratocaster feeds back through a wall of spinning Leslie speakers in a fit of psychedelic bliss. Otherwise, this CD still seems like a creative holding pattern for Vaughan, despite the addition of keyboardist Reese Wynans to broaden his band's palette. Nonetheless, the prophetic "Change It," which foreshadowed Vaughan's recovery from addiction by a year, and his in-concert staples "Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up on Love" and "Life Without You" debut here. --Ted Drozdowski
Customer Reviews
A bigger sound with a new member. (2003-09-26)  With the addition of Reese Wynans on the keyboards the band get a fuller sound & new inspiration. As Reese adds some great keyboard playing to the music it lets Stevie concentrate on his singing a bit more, with very soulful results. Opening with Say What!, an instrumental on which Stevie plays with two wah pedals, the album goes through every song with a renewed passion for the music. Included on this one are songs like Change it & Come on (part III), but all the tracks on the album are great.
Superb!!!!! (1999-01-28)  Soul to Soul possess a majic unlike any other artist. I believe every time Stevie picked up his guitar, he did it whole heartedly. He put every ounce of effort he had in him, plus more, in every piece of work he did. Soul to Soul really plays my heartstrings. I have an ache inside whenever I listen tohim. I miss the man dearly. Soul to Soul has a certain spirtuality to it. To me it shows another side of Stevie, which he had many, none of us will ever know. I, just like the man from the Boxcar Bar, cant hardly listen to Life Without You. Almost like he wrote his own tribute. Buy This Album. Youll never expierence anything like it.
Middle of the road for Stevie (1999-01-05)  Although this album is very well done, it lacks an all out rocker. This album is the first to include keyboardist Reese Wynans on it turning Double trouble into SRV and Double trouble plus 1. Life Without You is simply one of the most well written songs that SRV did in is much too short life.
You can't change it .. (1998-12-15)  That song has always been with me since the day I heard it and it will without a doubt be with me to my grave . Soul to Soul wasn't a very good period for Stevie , but he perservered it and made an effort . How can anyone pick on songs like "you'll be mine " "Lookin out the window "..however I never listen to the final track "Life without you " I just can't and I think everyone who feels the loss of this great musician understands that . Soul to Soul may not be Texas Flood or InStep .. but it is a brilliant record from OUR lost friend ... Stevie Ray Vaughan .
Excellent And Underrated (1998-11-18)  This is an excellent and underrated CD. Just check out "Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up On Love." This is serious blues. Not his best studio effort but still excellent.
