Maurice John Vaughn is a true blues original. A triple threat on guitar, saxophone and vocals, Vaughn writes powerful, innovative and often humorous songs that spring directly from his vast musical experience. His soulful and passionate vocals are convincing because they are earned -- Vaughn means what he sings.
Maurice's musical vision and self-guided career helped land him with Alligator Records. In 1986, Maurice played, produced, recorded and financed his own solo album. He was, as he says, "tired of waiting in line for producers to call," so he formed his own Reecy label, and released GENERIC BLUES ALBUM. On the strength of this recording, Alligator president Bruce Iglauer invited Vaughn into the studio to cut a track for THE NEW BLUEBLOODS compilation album. Alligator then worked out a distribution deal for GENERIC BLUES ALBUM with Maurice, reissuing the album with an additional track. GUITAR WORLD declared, "Blues album of the year!" - Amazon
