The illustration is specifically needed to support the following point(s): The cover artwork was done by illustrator Brad Holland, taken from an original photograph by Texan drummer George Rains.

Stevie Ray Vaughan: Day by Day, Night After Night—His Final Years, 1983-1990. Backbeat. ISBN 978-1-61774-022-0.
