Jimmie Vaughan – Just Like Putty

Biography
Jimmie Vaughan’s style was influenced by Freddie King who gave him personal advice. Also two other blues guitarists, Albert King and B. B. King, were important influences. Johnny “Guitar” Watson was another important early influence (Jimmie says that he and his younger brother Stevie studied Johnny “Guitar” Watson more than any other single guitarist).
Jimmie Vaughan developed his own personal style that is easily recognized. He formed the band The Fabulous Thunderbirds with singer and harpist Kim Wilson, bassist Keith Fergusson, and drummer Mike Buck. (The initial Fabulous Thunderbirds members were all proteges of Austin, Texas blues club owner, Clifford Antone.) The band’s first four albums, released between 1979 and 1983, are ranked among the most important ‘white blues’ recordings. Sadly, since those early albums did not sell well, the band was left out without a recording contract for a couple of years (during the times when Jimmie’s younger brother achieved popular success).
The Fabulous Thunderbirds got a new contract in 1986 and made several albums that featured more commercial pop-music sound and production styles. Jimmie left the band in 1989 and made a “duo album” called Family Style with his younger brother, Stevie Ray Vaughan.
