Jimmie Vaughan's style was influenced by Freddie King who gave him personal advice. Also two other blues guitarists, Albert King and B. B. King, were important influences. Johnny "Guitar" Watson was another important early influence (Jimmie says that he and his younger brother Stevie studied Johnny "Guitar" Watson more than any other single guitarist).
Jimmie Vaughan developed his own personal style that is easily recognized. He formed the band The Fabulous Thunderbirds with singer and harpist Kim Wilson, bassist Keith Fergusson, and drummer Mike Buck. (The initial Fabulous Thunderbirds members were all proteges of Austin, Texas blues club owner, Clifford Antone.) The band's first four albums, released between 1979 and 1983, are ranked among the most important 'white blues' recordings. Sadly, since those early albums did not sell well, the band was left out without a recording contract for a couple of years (during the times when Jimmie's younger brother achieved popular success).
The Fabulous Thunderbirds got a new contract in 1986 and made several albums that featured more commercial pop-music sound and production styles. Jimmie left the band in 1989 and made a "duo album" called Family Style with his younger brother, Stevie Ray Vaughan. Before the album was released, Stevie died in a helicopter crash in Wisconsin on August 27, 1990. The album was released a few days after the tragic accident (the listed artist on the album was "Vaughan Brothers"). The album was light blues-influenced rock with Jimmie singing on several tracks.
Vaughan released his first solo album Strange Pleasure in 1994. The album contained a song "Six Strings Down" that was dedicated to the memory of his brother. He has continued his solo career since then. Vaughan's solo albums contain mostly blues-rock material that he writes himself.
In 2001, Vaughan paid an installment on his (and the Fabulous Thunderbirds') huge debt to harmonica swamp blues when he contributed guitar to the Lazy Lester album Blues Stop Knockin'.

Send Me Some Lovin'
Jimmie Vaughan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Send it I pray
How can I love you
When you're far away?
Oh, send me your picture
Send it, my dear
So I can hold it
Can you send me your kisses?
I still feel their touch
I need you so badly
I miss you so much
My days are so lonely
My nights are so blue
I'm here and I'm lonely
I'm waitin' for you
My days are so lonely
My nights are so blue
I'm here and I'm lonely
I'm waitin' for you
Jimmie Vaughan's "Send Me Some Lovin'" is a classic blues love song that expresses the pain of being in a long-distance relationship. The singer is clearly in love with someone who is far away and misses them terribly. He pleads with them to send him some love in the form of a picture, some kisses or any way possible so that he can feel closer to them.
In the opening lines, he begs them to send him some love and wonders how he can still love them if they are so far away. He wants to feel the connection and closeness that he used to feel when he was with them. The imagery of their picture being able to transport them to his side is incredibly moving. He wants to be able to hold it close and feel like they are there with him.
The sad and lonely voice of the singer pervades the entire song. The rest of the song reinforces the theme of loneliness and longing. The singer misses their kisses, their touch and how it used to make him feel. The song is full of longing and sadness and will likely strike a chord with anyone who has ever been separated from a loved one. The simplicity of the song is its strength, as it is a reminder that love can be expressed in small and simple ways.

Send me some lovin'
Please make an effort to show me love
Send it I pray
I'm pleading with you to send your love to me
How can I love you
I'm struggling to express love for you
When you're far away?
Because you are not physically present with me
Oh, send me your picture
Please send me a visualization of you
Send it, my dear
Send it with a great sense of endearment
So I can hold it
So I can mentally grasp onto the image
Pretend you are here
Imagining that you are physically present with me
Can you send me your kisses?
Send me virtual signs of affection
I still feel their touch
Those signs still have an effect on me
I need you so badly
I desperately require your love
I miss you so much
I feel your absence heavily
My days are so lonely
My days are spent in solitude and sadness
My nights are so blue
My nights are similarly marred by sadness and loneliness
I'm here and I'm lonely
I'm in this physical location, but I'm still feeling solitude
I'm waitin' for you
I anticipate your arrival to cure my loneliness
