This is a great alt.country compilation with some very impressive artists. R.A.N.C.H. is a community in Vancouver and Victoria BC that features many artists who rarely get exposure outside of their scene. When you put all of this talent onto one disc you get a whopping compilation with some amazing songs. Contributions by The Buttless Chaps, Carolyn Mark (one half of the Corn Sisters), Coal, Radiogram, Geoff Berner, Rockin Daddy's, former Spirit of the West member Linda McRae, John Guliak and too many more to mention right here. The music is very rootsy and extremely well written. It might do Bloodshot Records good to look to this tight knit community for their next signing. Showdown consists of 22 premium songs and if you have the least bit of interest in folk or alt.country music you should seek out this compilation. It's a keeper and it should give some of the bands some exposure outside of their home towns. Check out the record site at http://ranchprod.tripod.com/showdown.htm.
