Music reviews of Showdown!

Music Review: Essential.
Rating: 5 Stars

For casual blues fans who feel a little of this style of music goes a long way, this grammy winner is definitely worth your money. In fact, this is probably one of 10 cds that anyone remotely interested in the blues should have. It's a great example of modern-era blues. Production quality is high. C C & C definitely bring their A-game. It has enough grit to feel real without all the bad phonics associated with older artists; on the other hand, it's not polished, slick and soul-less, the way so much modern-era, dare i say, formulaic blues tracks can sound (especially to us casual blues fans).

Description of Showdown!

Call it three for the price of one. Far from engaging in a guitar-playing shootout, Albert Collins, Robert Cray, and Johnny Copeland work together incredibly well, achieving a kind of musical synergy that's rarely heard. Copeland and Cray handle most of the vocal duties, and Cray's smooth, soul-tinged voice (positively shiver-eliciting on "The Dream," as is Collins's lead guitar work) complements Copeland's growl perfectly. Collins doesn't get to sing as much, but he more than makes up for it with his harmonica on the slow blues "Bring Your Fine Self Home." And of course, all three turn in stellar guitar work, trading solos and rhythm parts with the greatest of ease; Cray was a relative newcomer at the time of this recording, but he more than holds his own. One would be hard pressed to find a better blues collaboration anywhere. --Genevieve Williams
