With the full cooperation of Jimmie Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Nile Rodgers, Jackson Browne and Billy Gibbons, BROTHERS IN BLUES is the best and most revealing documentary on Stevie Ray Vaughan produced to date. The film starts with their Jimmie and Stevie's youth in the Dallas neighborhood of Oak Cliff, and traces their early junior high bands with interviews with their then-13-year-old band mates. It then tracks their move from Dallas to Austin, and the small nightclubs they performed in, giving a history of the Austin music scene in the 1970s, well before it became established as the "live music capital". Their eventual signings to a major record label propelled both of them to the spotlight, but exacerbated some drug and alcohol problems that were witnessed by their band mates. Stevie's recording of TEXAS FLOOD is recounted by Jackson Browne, and his eventual sobriety is detailed by older brother, Jimmie and Eric Clapton. The night that Stevie died in a helicopter crash is recounted on-camera for the first time by Jimmie and Eric Clapton.
