You should absolutely have "Showdown", the album with Albert Collins, Johnny Copeland and Robert Cray. Don't hesitate. Grab this the very next time you see it. And pick up some Stevie Ray Vaughn while you're at it, because he learned a lot from Collins and other Texas bluesmen. You can also hear Lighnin' Hopkins in his playing, so pick up some Lightnin' if you are looking for good early stuff.Oh, and don't forget the Kings: B.B., Albert and Freddy. I like Albert best.
And get everything else that was mentioned below.
