Soulful, Stunning Stevie Ray Vaughan performance!

Stevie Ray Vaughan fans have always hungered for more acoustic work – both while he was alive, and since his passing in 1990. We’re pretty limited in material, primarily because Stevie had a tendency to perform and record with his signature Fender Stratocaster electric guitars and very rarely with his acoustics. However, when he did it was a treat! In 1990, Stevie was invited to perform with Joe Satriani on MTV Unplugged, and treated the audience to an intimate performance featuring acoustic renditions of his hit songs ‘Pride And Joy’ and ‘Rude Mood’. While the electric rendition of ‘Pride And Joy’ is snappy and filled with bluesy attitude, the acoustic rendition is much more soulful – like he’s actually singing to his “pride and joy” directly!

Did you know…that Stevie Ray Vaughan changed the lyrics to ‘Pride And Joy’? Originally inspired by girlfiend Dee Davis in the ’70s, Stevie completed the song shortly after marrying his first wife, Lenora “Lenny” Bailey but changed the lyrics after Lenora suspected them to be about an old flame. Stevie later reverted back to the original lyrics, and was glad he did. We are too, Stevie!

Check out this acoustic rendition of ‘Pride And Joy’ – we didn’t think it was possible to love it more than the original rendition, but there’s something about the acoustic version that’ll get down into your soul!

Well you’ve heard about love givin’ sight to the blind
My baby’s lovin’ cause the sun to shine
She’s my sweet little thing, she’s my pride and joy
She’s my sweet little baby, I’m her little lover boyYeah I love my baby, my heart and soul
Love like ours won’t never grow old
She’s my sweet little thing, she’s my pride and joy
She’s my sweet little baby, I’m her little lover boy

Yeah I love my baby, she’s long and lean
You mess with her, you’ll see a man gettin’ mean
She’s my sweet little thing, she’s my pride and joy
She’s my sweet little baby, I’m her little lover boy

Well I love my baby like the finest wine
Stick with her until the end of time
She’s my sweet little thing, she’s my pride and joy
She’s my sweet little baby, I’m her little lover boy

Yeah I love my baby, my heart and soul
Love like ours will never grow old
She’s my sweet little thing, she’s my pride and joy
She’s my sweet little baby, I’m her little lover boy
