In Step, which came out in June 1989, won a Grammy in February of 1990. According to Keri Leigh’s biography, Stevie Ray: Soul to Soul, the MTV Unplugged recordings took place a few days after the Grammys—so that would have been February or March of 1990, I believe.
Those acoustic recordings are so great, aren’t they. It would have been amazing it we’d had decades more to see where he chose to go/explore musically. What a gift.
Knowing that he is at peace now is comforting, after a lifetime full of hurt and pain and angst. God is merciful. In a way, it is a blessing SRV went out on top, and neither he nor we had to watch any decline in his abilities, although he left an unfillable void. Such a loss, but I guess it was his time, and he had learned all of his lessons, leaving the rest of us behind to learn ours. (I would imagine after a lifetime of abusing his body, his health would have started to decline at some point and that would have been sad to witness—-although his changed spirit would have been fully in tact, for sure.)
