The Last Song SRV Ever Played Will Touch Your Soul

Sweet Home Chicago

On Stevie’s last night on this Earth, before his infamous helicopter crash that will forever break our hearts, he played “Sweet Home Chicago” with buddies Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, brother Jimmie and Robert Cray.

“Baby don’t you want to go? Back to that same old place, oh sweet home Chicago “

It’s fitting that SRV ended his life with this song considering he was headed back to Chicago,to return home. This truly brings meaning to the title, “Sweet Home Chicago” that creates an everlasting impact that displays his love for the city and what he was willing to do to get back there.

Interesting Fact: As well as Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan’s blues playing style was strongly influenced by Albert King who dubbed himself Stevie’s “Godfather.”

Celebrating Stevie’s birthday in just 2 days time, we celebrate the music he brought into the world and who he was.

We miss you every single day SRV…
