Stevie Ray Vaughn died in a helicopter crash here in Wisconsin after playing at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in 1990. There will never be anyone like him ever again. Thank you Ally for keeping his memory alive. Bless you. 😁👍🍺

Fantastic playing! Anyone who can play Stevie Ray convincingly has my respect. I loved Stevie Ray and saw him live from backstage at Bumbershoot in Seattle in 1984. I was supposed to interview him there for a magazine story, but he couldn't do the interview because of his drug problem. Only a few people who were backstage knew how bad off he was before the show; you wouldn't have seen it in the audience because he played so well. Not long after that show, he cleaned up and played far better. He was an amazing player and from everything I could tell, a really nice, humble man.

Beautiful girl, Beautiful playing, Beautiful SRV tune!

[darvinclement]

She did that absolute justice. Not many people can pull that off and she nailed it!

Wow just wow, not many people can even cover srv let alone turn one of his songs into their own style and make it fucking rock, and she just did, thx for blessing my ears, I know srv would be proud ❤

Thanks for that great Tune it warms the soul of hour great Steve Ray who is Resting In Peace God Bless You

[RickGraziano]

I miss Stevie so much, and had been listening to his music today. Then I came across this video, and tears are pouring. Damn, what a soulfull, emotional playing of a song Stevie wrote for his lady. Huge talent, and better than just talent, this lady has the feel for the song. Thank you for giving us this.

Holy crap. Was not expecting that. SRV is smiling.

[calsurflance]

Stevie himself would be giving this a standing ovation!
Well done young lady!
Just beautiful and serene!

[curtisprice]

I needed that emotion in an ugly place in time. Music with heart felt feeling. Great guitar playing!

[Rayoflight]

Released an EP at age 14 -- and you can tell she's been honing her skill for years. Great choice of a tune to play, and so evocative. God, she's good!

[SuperEvilworm]

Holy **** Ally plays like a god! She can sing, she can play and she is beautiful. What more can you ask? This is one of my favorite artists.

[Deliquescentinsight]

Really nice version, genuine feel and a wonderful tribute to Stevie's classic Strat tone piece-thanks
