'''''Texas Flood''''' is the debut studio album by the American [[blues rock]] band [[Stevie Ray Vaughan]] and [[Double Trouble (band)|Double Trouble]], released on June 13, 1983, by [[Epic Records]]. The album was named after a [[Cover version|cover song]] featured on the album, "[[Texas Flood (song)|Texas Flood]]", which was first recorded by [[blues]] singer [[Larry Davis (blues musician)|Larry Davis]] in 1958. Produced by the band and [[Audio engineering|recording engineer]] Richard Mullen, ''Texas Flood'' was recorded in the space of three days at [[Jackson Browne]]'s personal recording studio in Los Angeles. Vaughan wrote six of the album's ten tracks.

Two [[Single (music)|singles]], "[[Love Struck Baby]]" and "[[Pride and Joy (Stevie Ray Vaughan song)|Pride and Joy]]", were released from the album. A music video was made for "Love Struck Baby" and received regular rotation on [[MTV]] in 1983. ''Texas Flood'' was reissued in 1999 with five bonus tracks, including an interview segment, studio outtake, and three live tracks recorded on September 23, 1983, at [[Avalon Hollywood|The Palace]] in Hollywood, California. The album was reissued again in 2013, with two CDs in celebration of the album's 30th anniversary. Disc 1 is the original album with one bonus track, "Tin Pan Alley". Disc 2 is selections from a previously unreleased concert recorded at Ripley's Music Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on October 20, 1983, originally recorded for the King Biscuit Flower Hour radio program.

''Texas Flood'' received positive reviews, with critics praising the deep blues sound, and Vaughan’s songwriting, while some criticized the album for straying too far from mainstream rock. A retrospective review by [[AllMusic]] awarded it five out of five stars.

==Background==
Vaughan and Double Trouble had performed at the [[Montreux Jazz Festival]] in July 1982 and caught the attention of musician Jackson Browne. He offered the band three days' free use of his Los Angeles recording studio. They accepted the offer and recorded a [[Demo (music)|demo]] during Thanksgiving weekend in late November.<ref name="gregory74">{{harvnb|Gregory|August 2003|p=74}}</ref> It was heard by [[record producer]] [[John H. Hammond]], who had discovered artists such as [[Aretha Franklin]], [[Bob Dylan]], and [[Bruce Springsteen]] among many others.<ref name="kitts7">{{harvnb|Kitts|September 1997|p=7}}</ref> He presented the demo to Greg Geller, head of [[Artists and repertoire|A&R]] at Epic Records, and arranged a [[recording contract]].<ref name="gregory78">{{harvnb|Gregory|August 2003|p=78}}</ref><ref name="prial295">{{harvnb|Prial|June 2006|p=295}}</ref>

==Recording and production==
As the first day of production largely involved setting up equipment, ''Texas Flood'' was recorded in two days,<ref name="100greatest">{{harvnb|Guitar World|October 2008}}</ref> with no [[overdubs]].<ref>{{cite journal|last=Nixon|first=Bruce |title=Playing the Blues for Bowie|journal=Record|date=June 1983|volume=2 |issue=8|page=21}}</ref> In early 1983, subsequent to the band's signing with Epic, they were given an [[Advance payment|advance]] of $65,000 to re-master the recordings.<ref name="gregory78"/> The album was mixed and mastered in New York City.<ref name="gregory78"/> The recordings were released as ''Texas Flood'' in June 1983.

[[Bassist]] [[Tommy Shannon]] recalls of the sessions, "It really was just a big warehouse with concrete floors and some rugs thrown down. We just found a little corner, set up in a circle looking at and listening to each other and played like a live band."<ref name="100greatest"/> Vaughan used two [[Fender Vibroverb]]s and a 150-watt [[Dumble Amplifiers#Dumbleland|Dumbleland Special]] owned by Browne. A combination of these amps marked the first time Vaughan used the Dumbleland Special, which contributed to his trademark sound.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-05-19 |title=Jas Obrecht: Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Texas Flood” Sessions - Model Citizens |url=https://blog.line6.com/2023/05/19/jas-obrecht-stevie-ray-vaughans-texas-flood-sessions/ |access-date=2024-12-08 |website=Model Citizens - Educating & Delighting Discerning Viewers}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Aledort |first=Andy |title=Guitar World Presents Stevie Ray Vaughan |publisher=Guitar World |year=2010 |isbn=978-0-87930-971-8 |pages=117 |language=English}}</ref> Engineer and co-producer Richard Mullen says of his production techniques: {{cquote|Just one mic on everything.

Stevie played through two Vibroverbs, but I only miked one of the speakers in one of them. I positioned the mics about three or four inches off the cabinet at about a 45 degree angle to the cone. The only effect he used was an [[Ibanez Tube Screamer]].|4=Richard Mullen|5=<ref name="gwfeb04">Guitar World February 2004</ref>}}

==Touring==

''Texas Flood'' was released on June 13, 1983, with two singles released from the album—"Pride and Joy" and "Love Struck Baby". "Pride and Joy" peaked at #20 on the [[Mainstream Rock Tracks]] chart. "[[Texas Flood (song)|Texas Flood]]" was nominated for [[Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album|Best Traditional Blues Performance]] and "[[Rude Mood]]" was nominated for [[Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance|Best Rock Instrumental Performance]]. The album was mostly well received by critics. A retrospective five-star [[AllMusic]] review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine described it as a "monumental impact" and said it "sparked a revitalization of the blues". Despite many positive responses, it also received some negative notices with ''Rolling Stone'' criticizing Vaughan for a lack of originality and claiming that he did not possess a distinctive style.

''[[Texas Monthly]]'' gave the album a positive review, calling Vaughan "the most exciting guitarist to come out of Texas since [[Johnny Winter]]".<ref name="Plowman">{{harvnb|Plowman|September 1983|p=192}}</ref> In a less enthusiastic review for ''[[The Village Voice]]'', [[Robert Christgau]] felt that the album lacked "momentum and song form", which he averred to be the essence of [[rock and roll]]. It was the lack of these characteristics that was, he said, the reason his attention wandered "after the kickoff originals 'Love Struck Baby' and 'Pride and Joy.'"<ref name="Christgau"/> The album peaked at #38 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] chart immediately after its release. It went platinum in Canada and double-platinum in the United States, selling over 2,000,000 units.

On December 21, 2020, it was announced that the album was a 2021 inductee into the [[Grammy Hall of Fame]] in recognition of its historical significance.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.grammy.com/grammys/news/grammy-hall-fame-2021-inductions-welcomes-recordings-tribe-called-quest-billie-holiday-journey-linda| title = GRAMMY Hall Of Fame Welcomes 2021 Inductions | accessdate = December 28, 2020 | date = December 21, 2020 | publisher = [[Grammy Award|Grammys]]}}</ref>
