Black cat bone ((LP 589)

Albert Collins, Robert Cray, Johnny Copeland   Showdown! (CD, Alligator Records, 1985) *** 

Genre: Blues

Places I remember: From Lindsay Hope's collection

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Black Cat Bone

Gear costume: The Dream 

Active compensatory factors: I am not a big fan of any of these three blues guitarists. I find Albert King's tone too strident, Robert Cray's too smooth, and... Johnny who?

Having said that, the three together manage to balance each other well, so what we have here is a pleasant, inoffensive set of songs, played well.

I wish I could be more effusive, but that's the truth ruth.

Where do they all belong? A stand alone item in the collection.
