Three masters collide in improvisation, creating a superb fusion of guitar and blues.
This is a blues album that brings together virtuoso guitarists, focusing on performance and resonating with each other while eliminating individuality. Technique and emotion blend together, and improvisation and compositional power coexist on this album.
The album's strength lies in the way Albert Collins, Robert Cray, and Johnny Copeland improvise together in the studio while still maintaining the structure of the songs. The guitar exchanges, vocal exchanges, and the rhythm section's shifts and support all create a sense of tension, allowing each musician's skill and sensibility to resonate with one another. Through cover and original songs, each musician's expression stands out, moving back and forth between traditional blues and modern acoustic sensibilities. This album is more than just a super session; it shines with the perfection of a seasoned collaboration.
