I couldn\u2019t be more excited to pay tribute to him at GRAMMY Museum Mississippi.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">With his astonishingly accomplished guitar playing, Stevie Ray Vaughan ignited the blues revival of the 1980s. Vaughan drew equally from bluesmen like <strong>Albert King<\/strong>, <strong>Buddy Guy<\/strong>, and <strong>Albert Collins<\/strong>, and rock &amp; roll players like <strong>Jimi Hendrix<\/strong> and <strong>Lonnie Mack<\/strong>, as well as jazz guitarists like <strong>Kenny Burrell<\/strong> and <strong>Wes Montgomery<\/strong>, developing a uniquely eclectic and fiery style that sounded like no other guitarist, regardless of genre. Vaughan bridged the gap between blues and rock like no other artist had since the late 1960s. From 1983 to 1990, Stevie Ray was the leading light in American blues, consistently selling out concerts while his albums regularly went gold. His tragic death in 1990 at age 35 cut short a brilliant career in blues and American rock &amp; roll, just as he was on the brink of superstardom.
