But if you mentioned Double Trouble, they'd have no problem identifying the pair as the rhythm section who drove Stevie Ray Vaughan through four studio albums and countless live performances. Drummer Layton and bassist Shannon first hooked up with Vaughan in the mid-70s, when they played in Triple Threat with singer Lou Ann Barton. When Barton left, they renamed themselves as Double Trouble (after an Otis Rush tune), and went on to inject new life into the American blues scene with incendiary records like 1983's Texas Flood and 1989's In Step. Vaughan's tragic death in late 1990 left Layton and Shannon at loose ends; they eventually hooked up with Charlie Sexton and Doyle Bramhall II in The Arc Angels, a Texas supergroup which released two albums in the 1990s. In 2001, Double Trouble released Been A Long Time, an album featuring guest appearances by pals like Dr. John, Jimmie Vaughan, and Susan Tedeschi.     Double Trouble Rock and Roll (feat. Susan Tedeschi) LiquidAudio Blues Yep, it's that "Rock And Roll" -- Stevie Ray Vaughan's rhythm section teams up with Susan Tedeschi, Charlie Sexton and Kenny Wayne Shepard for a rippin' run-through of the worn-out Zep favorite.
