Chris Layton of Double Trouble says, “In playing with him (Stevie), there was a thing about him that was very simple. If it felt good, then it WAS good. It was a very trust-your-instincts band. Spontaneous. Didn’t matter if there were some minor performance mistakes. If the spirit was there, and there was fire and the feeling was good, it was happening.”
Eric Clapton says, “I was so bowled over, so in love with this guy that was playing on stage from the heart completely. I started to feel ashamed of what I was going to do.”
Joe Bonamassa says, “Stevie’s legacy is he was the guy who could put on a guitar, any guitar, play three notes and have people hooked… That you can’t teach.”
