Otis Rush song of the same name, and a reference to both Vaughan and Barton. After Clark left to form his own band, Barton auditioned and hired Jackie Newhouse, who first met Barton in

He said of Vaughan's cocaine use: "Where I was doing a lot, Stevie was doing five times, ten times more than I was doing." Nearly 800 minutes of the studio recordings were devoted to the sessions and leaked into the collector's market. Released in September, ''Soul to Soul'' received mixed reviews from critics.

commented, "For all of its positive attributes, ''Soul to Soul'' winds up being less than the sum of its parts, and it's hard to pinpoint an exact reason why. Perhaps it was because Vaughan was on the verge of a horrible battle with substance abuse at the time of recording or perhaps it just has that unevenness inherent in transitional albums."
In July 1986, the band recorded three shows in Austin and Dallas for a live album, later released as ''
Live Alive''. One month later, Vaughan learned that his father was hospitalized for an illness, and flew to his hometown of Dallas to be with his family; his father died three days later from complications associated with

Vaughan and Double Trouble chose Jim Gaines, who worked with the band for the recording of ''Soul to Soul'', to produce their next studio album. The group recorded at Sound Castle and Summa Studios in Los Angeles, as well as Kiva Studios in
Memphis. Although the sessions were completed in about four months, they were productive and mixed within two weeks. ''
In Step'' debuted at number 33 on the
''Billboard'' 200 album chart in June 1989. Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote in his review of the album, "The magnificent thing about In Step is how it's fully realized, presenting every facet of Vaughan's musical personality, yet it still soars with a sense of discovery." ''In Step'' went on to sell over two million copies in the United States and 50,000 in Canada.
