‘Strange Pleasure’, the first solo album by Texas guitarist Jimmie Vaughan, was released on CD in
1994. Produced by the brilliant Nile Rodgers and mastered by one of the greatest in the business,
Bob Ludwig, ‘Strange Pleasure’ became the musical and sound model for many subsequent
productions. It established Vaughan as a musician, singer and songwriter in his own right and was the
beginning of his Tilt A Whirl Band based on chunky Hammond B3 accompaniment.
Jimmie Vaughan was born in Dallas in 1951. After his first teenage experiences in garage rock bands,
he became interested in blues at an early age. His idols include Albert Collins, Freddie King, Albert
King and Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson. In 1974, he formed the Fabulous Thunderbirds, the seminal blues combo of the day, which reached No. 10 on the Billboard singles chart in 1986 with Tuff Enuff.
