In Step is a blues-rock album by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble released in 1989. The title In Step can be seen as referring to Vaughan's new-found sobriety, following the years of drug and alcohol use that eventually lead Vaughan into rehabilitation. It was also Vaughan's final album with Double Trouble. In 1990, he recorded a collaboration album with his brother, Jimmie Vaughan, called Family Style; later that year he died in a helicopter crash.

There is a re-issue, which features all the above tracks as well as:

"Stevie Ray Vaughan Speaks" -0.37

"The House is Rockin' (Live)" -2.48

"Let Me Love You Baby (Live)" -3.46

"Texas Flood (Live)" -7.28

"Life Without You (Live)"- 13.17

"Life Without You (Live)" features an anti-drug talk, as was common when Stevie performed this song live. The song is note-worthy as it features two extended guitars solos, considered to be among his best playing. However, as this version is only found on this re-issue, it has not received the praise some would argue it should.
