The story behind the song

"Texas Flood" is a blues standard, originally written by Larry Davis, that uses the imagery of a flood in Texas as a metaphor for relationship problems. Stevie Ray Vaughan made this song a part of his repertoire, even naming his first album after it. His version, performed with Double Trouble, brings a powerful intensity to the classic blues theme. Playing this song means channeling the raw emotion of being overwhelmed by circumstances, much like a flood, but specifically in the context of a troubled heart.
