His most recognized band, Double Trouble was featured at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1982, where they caught the attention of both David Bowie and Jackson Browne.

"Texas Flood" was released off of Epic in 1983 and became a huge hit. For the next 7 years Stevie Ray and Double Trouble recorded 5 studio albums.
