Isley Brothers, The - Showdown

Review by Scott Richardson

The Isley Brothers' album Showdown is a classic soul and funk masterpiece that showcases the band's unparalleled musical talent and creativity. Released in 1978, the album features a mix of original songs and covers that range from slow ballads to upbeat dance tracks.

The album's lead single, "Take Me to the Next Phase," is a funky, bass-heavy jam that gets the party started right away. Other standout tracks include the soulful ballad "Groove with You," the uptempo "Ain't Givin' Up No Love," and the bluesy "Coolin' Me Out."

One of the highlights of Showdown is the Isley Brothers' collaboration with guitarist Carlos Santana on the track "Sunshine (Go Away Today)." The song is a perfect blend of the Isleys' soulful vocals and Santana's signature guitar riffs.
