Review San Antonio Ballbuster / Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown:Try to get past the lousy sound quality on this recording, because there's some great material here that's not available elsewhere. This excellent sampling of Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown's early work includes the smoking slow blues "Dirty Work at the Crossroads"; the crisp, clean guitar of "Gate's Salty Blues" and "Boogie Uproar"; the lead violin on "Just Before Dawn"; and a fantastic take of "I've Been Mistreated"-fantastic despite the fuzz that occasionally threatens to overwhelm the music. Though Brown doesn't mix and match musical genres as easily here as he would in later years, his confidence (not to mention competence) as a performer is already well established. -Genevieve Williams.

Review Showdown! (Gold) / Albert Collins: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 is 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.
