Texas Flood is the debut studio album by the American blues rock band Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, released on June 13, 1983, by Epic Records.

Vaughan and Double Trouble had performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in July 1982 and caught the attention of musician Jackson Browne.

[1] It was heard by record producer John H. Hammond, who had discovered artists such as Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen among many others.

Bassist Tommy Shannon recalls of the sessions, "It really was just a big warehouse with concrete floors and some rugs thrown down.

A combination of these amps marked the first time Vaughan used the Dumbleland Special, which contributed to his trademark sound.

The only effect he used was an Ibanez Tube Screamer.Vaughan and Double Trouble toured North America and Europe in June–December 1983 to support Texas Flood.

[10] The show was broadcast on the King Biscuit Flower Hour and three tracks were included on the reissue of Texas Flood.

A retrospective five-star AllMusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine described it as a "monumental impact" and said it "sparked a revitalization of the blues".

Despite many positive responses, it also received some negative notices with Rolling Stone criticizing Vaughan for a lack of originality and claiming that he did not possess a distinctive style.

[24] In a less enthusiastic review for The Village Voice, Robert Christgau felt that the album lacked "momentum and song form", which he averred to be the essence of rock and roll.
