Since I’m playing the Belly Fest Blues Festival in Midland, TX this weekend, I’m in a Texas guitar kind of mood.\u00a0 What better way to celebrate three of the best Texas guitarists to hit the music industry then share video performances from one of the great Texas showcases, Austin City Limits.\u00a0 ACL has featured some of the best musicians in blues, rock and popular music, and I found three videos that are definitely up to snuff.\u00a0 Stevie Ray Vaughan performs a killer version of the song, “Texas Flood,” Albert Collins tears it up on the ACL stage, and Eric Johnson performs an early version of his Grammy winning hit song, “Cliffs of Dover.”\u00a0 Three of the best Texas guitarists at one of the best Texas venues, Austin City Limits.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n

I can never get enough SRV, and he and Double Trouble deliver on this version of “Texas Flood.”\u00a0 Check it out at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u2y6xx2qnqg&feature=related<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Albert Collins tears up the ACL stage in this next video performance.\u00a0 Joined with a great backup band, Collins delivers with his high energy style in this video at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EjrYLiIauQ8<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eric Johnson performs his big hit song, “Cliffs of Dover,” in this next video.\u00a0 At the time though, this performance was a breakthrough hit for Johnson that got the world’s attention.\u00a0 It’s times like these that we should really be thankful for venues like Austin City Limits that offer a space for musicians to shine on a world stage.\u00a0 Check out the performance at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vyntQ-WZUI8<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These are just a few of the great guitarists to come out of Texas and hit the world of music head on.\u00a0 And with a music venue like Austin City Limits, it’s no wonder Austin, TX is considered one of the live music capitols of the world!\u00a0 I hope you enjoyed these videos as much as I did.<\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n
