Strange Pleasure, the first solo album by Texas guitarist Jimmie Vaughan, was released on CD in 1994. Produced by the brilliant Nile Rodgers and mastered by one of the greatest in the business, Bob Ludwig, Strange Pleasure became the musical and sound model for many subsequent productions. It established Vaughan as a musician, singer and songwriter in his own right and was the beginning of his Tilt A Whirl Band based on chunky Hammond B3 accompaniment.

Jimmie Vaughan was born in Dallas in 1951. After his first teenage experiences in garage rock bands, he became interested in blues at an early age. His idols include Albert Collins, Freddie King, Albert King and Johnny Guitar Watson. In 1974, he formed the Fabulous Thunderbirds, the seminal blues combo of the day, which reached No. 10 on the Billboard singles chart in 1986 with Tuff Enuff. In 1990, Jimmie Vaughan left the band to work more closely with his younger brother Stevie Ray Vaughan. But SRV was killed in an accident in October 1990. When Strange Pleasure was released in 1994, Jimmie Vaughan had found his own style. Strange Pleasure is a creative album full of feeling. It allows Jimmie to convey an eclectic range of moods and good humour, and Jimmie always plays a compelling guitar lick or solo as only he can. A blues record at its core, the album stylistically breaks away from the rigid scheme, however, and shows influences of jazz, soul grooves and gospel vocals. Above all, the mature nature of Vaughan's vocals is astonishing. A terrific album, nominated at the time for a Grammy© as "best modern blues album". In the 90s, there was probably a small vinyl edition in the Netherlands; apart from that, Bear Family is releasing the eleven songs from the original CD, supplemented by a slightly longer version of Boom-Bapa-Boom for the first time on vinyl. To ensure that the powerful yet warm sound can be felt at its best, Bear Family's vinyl edition comes as a heavy double LP pressed on 180-gram vinyl that plays at 45RPM. This is as perfect as this great album can sound!
