May 15th, 1984, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble released their sophomore album “Couldn’t Stand The Weather.” The first difference that jumped out at me between the first album “Texas Flood” and this album was the amount of time they had in the studio to record. When I asked about that Chris immediately responded, “That’s a trick question.” He explained further that for “Texas Flood” they were just recording, not intending to make a record yet simultaneously not intending to not make a record “Then officially we went in to make a record “Couldn’t Stand The Weather.” The difference really between the two albums was taking more time to try different takes on the songs for “Couldn’t Stand The Weather.” “Obviously, this was well before Pro Tools or any of that kind of thing, and either you played it, and you go it or you kinda didn’t.”
