This historic summit for Alligator Records brought together three distinct generations of electric blues guitar masters for an intensely fiery studio jam. 'Showdown!' features Collins' icy Telecaster bite, Copeland's gritty Texas shuffles, and Cray's smooth, soulful modern phrasing seamlessly trading solos. The celebrated collaboration won a Grammy Award and became one of the most commercially successful traditional blues records of the decade.
