Albert Collins, Robert Cray, & Johnny Copeland – Showdown! (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Three Texas-bred titans, one studio, no guardrails. Recorded in 1985, *Showdown!* captured Albert Collins, Robert Cray, and Johnny Copeland at a moment when the blues was clawing its way back into the mainstream conversation, and this session did as much as anything to make that happen. The interplay between Collins' ice-cold Telecaster tone, Copeland's raw power, and Cray's soulful precision remains a clinic in how different guitarists can push each other without once stepping on a note.
Alligator's Grammy-winning, best-selling title of all time (which has sold over 285,000 units), remastered on 180-gram vinyl with the added bonus track "Something to Remember You By". Universally recognized as one of the greatest blues albums of all time. A celebrated studio "cutting contest" between three legendary blues guitarists. Albert and Johnny are sadly no longer with us, but Robert Cray continues to record and tour, and is one of the best-selling blues artists in history with over 2.3 million career units scanned.
