Product Details

Worth noting: this Lou Reed is not the Velvet Underground icon. Louisiana-born Albert Collins, Texas troubadour Johnny Copeland, and Georgia's Robert Cray brought three distinct regional blues voices into one studio for Alligator Records in 1985, and the chemistry was undeniable. Collins' ice-cold tone, Copeland's raw power, and Cray's soulful precision pushed each other to career-peak performances.

Alligator's Grammy Award winning, best-selling title of all time, remastered on CD 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.
