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.
