On the 25th anniversary of Stevie Ray Vaughn's death, Bob Seger says he wrote "Hey Gypsy," a cut from his Ride Out record, in memory of the blues virtuoso.

"I wrote kind of as a tribute to Stevie, who I've always been a huge fan of," Seger says in a video tribute.

"I remember the last time I saw him; it was at an Eric Clapton concert.

He traded solos with Eric on 'Before You Accuse Me,' and they did it for, like, 15 minutes. It was probably my favorite guitar-hero moment of all time."

"I wanted to do something to honor his memory and how much he meant to me.

I think I captured the essence of it," he adds.

Seger's album, Ride Out, was released last year.
