 Stevie Ray Vaughan : Texas Flood - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Texas Flood changed all that, climbing into the Top 40 and spending over half a year on the charts, which was practically unheard of for a blues recording.
This was a monumental impact, but his critics claimed that, no matter how prodigious Vaughan's instrumental talents were, he didn't forge a distinctive voice; instead, he wore his influences on his sleeve, whether it was Albert King's pinched yet muscular soloing or Larry Davis' emotive singing.
When Vaughan and Double Trouble cut the album over the course of three days in 1982, he had already played his set lists countless times; he knew how to turn this material inside out or goose it up for maximum impact.

 STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN — ( Texas Flood Album )   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Stevie Ray Vaughan was already an underground hero in blues circles and had begun earning national attention for his hard-edged-but-tasteful playing on David Bowie's Let's Dance album when this solo debut arrived.
Produced by legendary talent scout John Hammond, the CD captures the rising guitar star tending fields seeded by earlier legends Buddy Guy, Albert King, and Jimi Hendrix.
But overall this album is the kind of raw double shot of blues and rock that made Vaughan one of the 1980s' best in-concert performers.

 The Music Box: Grateful Dead - Beyond Description (1973-1989) and Wake of the Flood [Box Set/Album Review]
Wake of the Flood officially ushered in a new era for the Grateful Dead.
Coming three years after the issuance of American Beauty, the album was the first to be released on the band’s own label, and it also marked the recorded debut of Keith and Donna Godchaux.
The truth of the matter, however, may be that many have placed too much emphasis upon the ensemble’s improvisational tendencies and, as a result, simply haven’t examined the band’s early and mid-period albums from the proper perspective.

 Flood - Stop The World @ Sight N Sound.org
The instantly gripping "Stop The World" (2.3 Meg) is a tame acoustical piece with a penetrating hook that begs to dominate anyone's "instant replay" memory.
A catchy hook is the perfect way to start an album off and Flood does just that via a seemingly electric 12 string intro and teasing bass fade in.
It turns out to be pure Flood with funk laden rock and a "southern rock" sound that was born in the U.S. in the early '70s.

Flood The Tanks is a fantastic album, and will hopefully propel Iain to greater heights.
