Alligator was putting out a lot of good records during that era. The Albert Collins records I've been listening to lately were on Alligator, and I know Roy Buchanan also recorded about three records for Alligator in the last few years of his life (though I recall a Guitar Player article that suggested at lesat one of the Buchanan records wasn't that great, though I'd have to dig out the particular magazine and look up the details, I remember it being mentioned that there was flanger on the guitar on some of the tracks). In all three cases, I believe the given guitarist hadn't recorded in several years prior to signing to Alligator.
