There are a few different SRV greatest hits collections on the market. I used to own the single disc "Greatest Hits" (the one that includes Taxman), but I lent it out to a friend and he moved away and never gave it back. So I ordered "The Essential SRV & Double Trouble." I figured since I liked the single disc greatest hits so much, two discs would be even better! Boy, was I right. This two-disc set doesn't include the Beatles "Taxman" cover, but it does have some of SRV's greatest live recordings. These include live versions of the raucous cover "Shake For Me," an amazing blues instrumental "Rude Mood/Hide Away," covers of Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)," Stevie Wonder's "Superstition," and Buddy Guy's "Leave My Girl Alone." There are also many great songs that didn't make it into the single disc greatest hits compilation, such as "Love Struck Baby," "Mary Had A Little Lamb," "Tin Pan Alley," "Give Me Back My Wig," "Come On (Part III)," and the list goes on and on. Not only this but every song that comes on the single disc Greatest Hits is included in this package except "Taxman." So in the end, the inclusion of all these great live recordings, and the previously mentioned recordings more than makes up for the loss of "Taxman." Any fan of SRV, who doesn't have the cash to buy each individual SRV release, shouldn't hesitate to pick up this set.Read full review
i have a srv lp an cd collection . an i will tell you this is the "best" cd . this 2 disc set covers all of the best known songs by stevie.. this cd set covers all the great songs from his most popular hits an lp's. great sound an a great aditive to the srv collection. were talk'n about 4hrs of great music an guitar licks"" .no disapiontment here..its a great cd set for the srv fan. those who are deeper fans looking for the harder licks should check out srv "texas medician" "the axe that grinds" just to name a few for longer playing hard lic's.
Man, what can I say about this legend?? just that Jimi Hendrix musta been channeling through him, VOODOO CHILE, LIL WING, Is why i bought this. The rest, their originals are gold and platinum bonuses. now i just gotta find SRV's cover of RED HOUSE, & I'll have 5 or 6 different versions of it. all the rest r JIMI's. anyway this guy and his band are timeless treasures, sure miss him I'd pay top $$$$$'s to see them live!!!!!!!!!!

The best of the best, this is a SRV must-have! I've got almost everything he has blessed us with and this is one of my all-time favorites.
