Today’s feature is a song about friendship.
‘Life By the Drop’ is just Stevie Ray Vaughan and his 12-string acoustic guitar recording a song written by his long-time friend Doyle Bramhall. Fittingly, it appears on ‘The Sky is Crying’ as the closing track. This posthumous release came our way in November of 1991, about 14 months after Stevie Ray Vaughan’s tragic death. This excerpt from ‘Texas Flood: The Inside Story of Stevie Ray Vaughan’ speaks to Doyle Bramhall’s reverence for his long-time friend.
To me, Stevie stood alone. There was no one like him. He left room in his music for his honesty and his soul to come through and I think that’s what people picked up on.

Every time you were around him was a constant reminder that today is all we have.”

He also recorded the Top 10 Family Style album with his brother Jimmie Vaughan of Fabulous Thunderbirds fame, before Stevie Ray's career was cut short when he died in a helicopter crash. Vaughan was just 35.
