Albert Collins / Johnny Copeland / Robert Cray - Showdown! (FLAC) Release Date: 1985 Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab gold disc edition
From Wikipedia: Showdown! is a blues album by Albert Collins, Robert Cray and Johnny Copeland, released in 1985 through Alligator Records. The album won the Best Traditional Blues Recording Grammy Award in 1986.
Review by Bill Dahl: Cray found himself in some pretty intimidating company for this Grammy-winning blues guitar summit meeting, but he wasn't deterred, holding his own alongside his idol Albert Collins and Texas great Johnny Copeland. Cray's delivery of Muddy Waters' rhumba-rocking "She's into Something" was one of the set's many highlights.
