Triple Threat Revue - Empty Arms (1978)

I mentioned in the recent Stevie Ray Vaughan post that the band that he played in immediately before Double Trouble was called Triple Threat Revue, alongside vocalist Lou Ann Barton, Mike Kindred on organ, W.C. Clark on bass, Johnny Reno on saxophone, and Freddie Pharaoh on drums. Due to his multiple talents, the locals began calling Vaughan Triple Threat, so when it came time to pick a name for his new band, it seemed obvious, and it was named The Triple Threat Revue. The band stayed together in this form until the middle of 1978, and even recorded some sessions at Belmont Studio in Nashville, following the departure of Johnny Reno, and the replacement of Clark and Pharaoh with Jack Newhouse on bass and Chris Layton on drums . It was after this that Vaughan decided the band had too many leaders, so he and Lou Ann Barton left to form their next band, and Double Trouble was born. As a coda to the Vaughan post, here is that unreleased album by Triple Threat Revue.

  3. I really hate to be that person who says these things, as I've been visiting these blogs for a long time. However...there is no disclaimer at the top right of the blog.

  4. I understand your frustration in trying to post interesting music. The responsibility here is mine. There are too many steps (for me) and too much to try and work my way through. I have tried, and it makes little sense to me. Apologies.
