As long as I was aware of SRV, he had been clean and sober. At least I think so. He always came across as a truly humble, gracious person. I've known people who met him in person and they said he really was like that.

 

To hear him talk about himself back in the days before he cleaned up, maybe not so much? :-k

no unfortunately, he was a mess till the last few years of his life.

 

don't it figure,he gets totally clean, comes out with probably one if his BEST efforts (In Step) then gets wiped out in a freak helicopter accident.

 

[sad]

 

His Family Style album with Jimmy was very good also. I was always surprised it got so little attention when it was released shortly after his death. :-k

Definitely my "guitar hero"!

Amazing testimony of getting cleaned up + the willpower & honesty to admit his weaknesses.

Sad he was taken from us so young. Would have loved to have heard more of his music to the present day.

Impressive he rose above his problems + kept his humility throughout his career.

In reality, more than a guitar hero, more of an inspiration!
