http://www.mosaicrecords.com presents a unique 8 CD box set. Listening to this music in its entirety, you hear how the simplest tune could become the canvass for a singer's art. And understand why fellow musicians appreciated her talent. Vaughan could hit a note head on and hold it, pure and clean. Or, at her command, add a pretty vibrato.
