Jimmie Vaughan- Baby, Please come Home
As the very first notes of Jimmie Vaughan’s latest release “Baby, please come home”, comes through the speakers and washes over you, you realize you are in for a classic, yet unique journey of the smoothest and truest style of American Music.
Jimmie Vaughan’s evolution is so easily charted and is probably the most satisfying and intriguing journey I’ve ever witnessed. Right out of the gate in his early days he left you with jaw dropping Stratocaster tones & licks that astounded anyone who knew what was going on. Then came the era of “Strange Pleasure” which really perked up this listeners ears, it was at that point I became a disciple of the JLV sonic sermons.
As he evolved over the years he played less like a guitarist and more like a horn player. How he is able to convey a breath element in his playing still confounds me. When I go to see him play I watch his every move and leave more perplexed & delighted than when I walked in to the room. He’s a true craftsman.
Now comes his latest offering, “Baby, please come home”.
We find a fully realized Jimmie Vaughan.
The songs selection, “I’m still in love with you” is delivered with such honesty, it leaves you knowing he means every word he’s pouring out.
Tracks like “Hold it”, “Exact Change” & “Silly Dilly Woman” (Mike Flanigin on vocals) gives you an intimate listen to Jimmie Vaughan in a trio setting, and is so satisfying.
“No one to talk to, but the blues” & “Be my lovey dovey” are full horn section ensembles that are classic interpretations of the most visceral music this country has ever produced and Jimmie is a true ambassador to that music.
But beyond the guitar work, let’s talk about the voice. When I say he seems to be fully realized, you need to concentrate and listen to the voice. It’s so rich with experience and truth. It is the perfect pairing for the songs, the way the musicians are interpreting the music and of course the astonishing guitar work. It all fits perfectly.
Folks, this is a brilliant and perfect record. The production takes you to a time when musicians played the songs in the room together. Live. It’s real, pure & so satisfying. Since its release, it has been the sonic wallpaper and paint in my home, my office and in my ear buds.
The one thing I do wonder is if Jimmie realizes is that he is (and in many respects has always been) the heir apparent to the mantle “King of the Blues”. “Baby, please come home” certainly solidifies that for me.
People, don’t just stream this record, buy it. You wont regret a single moment.
