SRV recorded the song before his death in 1990, and it was released in 1991 on his posthumous album, “The Sky is Crying.”

This was written by another neighborhood kid, Doyle Bramhall, who was born and raised in West Dallas. Vaughan and Brahmhall were high school buddies who played in bands together in Dallas and Austin. And the song “Life by the Drop” is about his friendship with Vaughan. While Brahmhall, a drummer and singer, never achieved the same success as Vaughan, he did record an album with the Vaughan Brothers, “Family Style.” And he had two successful solo albums.

You mentioned it was difficult to play. Do you play an instrument?

Play little guitar and keyboard. Not a good musician but it certainly is therapeutic.

I'd like to invite you to join us in the Friday Night Guitar Thread every Friday night starting at 8pm et in s/guitar. We welcome any instrument, any skill level. It's for and about everyone who enjoys homemade music, even those that don't actively play. If we didn't have really low standards we'd have no standards at all :).
