Review

With slick production from Nile Rodgers and employing neither guitarist's band (Double Trouble nor the Fabulous Thunderbirds), this is bluesy, but far from purist. Jimmie makes his vocal debut on "White Boots" and "Good Texan," and the brothers blur the lines between their expected guitar styles -- Stevie sometimes going for a less sustainy twang, Jimmie moving into Albert King territory. When standard blues is the order of the day (the slow instro "Brothers"), the key word is "standard" -- bordering on run-of-the-mill. Instrumentals "D/FW" and "Hillbillies from Outer Space" fare better -- offering ZZ Top crunch and Santo & Johnny steel, respectively. ~ Dan Forte, All Music Guide

Professional reviews

Family Style is a blues-rock album by the Vaughan Brothers, released September 1990. The album features the brethren guitarists and vocalists, Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan, in their first — and last — studio collaboration. In his early years, Stevie Ray Vaughan often remarked that he would like to do an album with his brother. Stevie Ray Vaughan fulfilled that wish in his very last studio performance. The liner notes end with "Thanks Mama V. for letting us play."
