"Hot on the heels of his recent radio success, featured artist Scott West brings a project of major magnitude to music lovers all over the map! "Stevie Ray" is a genuine tribute to the legendary and forever-incredible blues rocker, Stevie Ray Vaughn. Scott shows his reverence for the legend by assembling an all-star cast of serious studio and live musicians, including guitarist Chuck Williams (winner of Epiphone's 'Guitar Solo' competition), Josh Eagan (Pink/Steve Lukather) on drums, Daniel de los Reyes (Sting/Sheryl Crowe/Don Henley) percussionist, James Baker (War/Edgar Winter) on guitars, and Tommy Shannon, the bassist in Stevie Ray's former band, Double Trouble! What you wind up with here is a stellar homage to one of the best guitarists of all time!"

Well I was cutting down through Texas
Back down Austin way
When I pulled into this honky tonk
Where Stevie used to play
Who's that boy playing guitar?
It sounds like Albert King
Cause no one else can cut that phat
Like Albert's pinky ring
Cept Stevie Ray boy
He could play boy
Stevie Ray boy
Play it like Stevie Ray
Well I waited there in line
Bout three hours long
When I got inside of Antones
They were packed like sardine cans
Don'tcha got a Fire Marshall?
Dontcha care about their age?
We got a Fire Marshall son.
He's up there on that stage."
That's Stevie Ray boy
He could play boy
Stevie Ray boy
Play it like Stevie Ray
It's been thirty years since Stevie
Walked up on the stage
Went back down to Antones
House that Stevie made
Little girl behind the bar said,
"Boy tell me bout your sound.
Can you cut like Stevie Ray, boy?
Can you lay it down?"
Like Stevie Ray, boy
He could play, boy
Stevie Ray, boy
Play it like Stevie Ray!
