Well, you should. It's been a while since we heard from Mr. Jimmie Vaughan. After 2001's "Do You Get the Blues", Jimmie was sparsely heard from. A 'Best of' CD here, a couple guitar and/or car show appearances there... He has tended to his late brother Stevie's business affairs since his passing, which in itself is a full time job, I would imagine. But there's good news for all you JV fans out there! According to his website, there's a new album coming this spring as well as a tour! He's got some dates coming up starting April 8 in Satellite Beach, FL and continuing on the east coast through May (with some Texas dates thrown in as well). June takes him to France for a week of European dates before jumpin' back to the States for some shows, including Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival in Chicago on the 26th. Then it's back to Europe for most of July. There's a buncha holes in those American dates so, if your town's not on the schedule now, there's a chance it could be added later. For those not hip to Jimmie Vaughan, he played with the Fabulous Thunderbirds for most of the 80's before leaving to do "Family Style" with his brother Stevie. After Stevie's death, Jimmie eventually went on to put out a few solo albums, as well as appearing on an assortment of other people's records. It's been quite a while since he's been out there in full force so, this will be some cool stuff to look forward to. www.notimewarp.com
