Albert Collins - Iceman (1991)

Albert Collins (October 1, 1932 – November 24, 1993) was an American electric guitarist and singer with a distinctive guitar style. Collins was noted for his powerful playing and his use of altered tunings and capo. His long association with the Fender Telecaster led to the title "The Master of the Telecaster". (Wiki)

Albert Collins was a wonderful funky guitarist and  vocalist in the Texas tradition of  tough, notable Blues players - He has an immediately recognizable and unique musical personality  and I consider him one of the Greats ! Easily proved by a first listen ...

This was the first album Albert made for Pointblank Records (part of Virgin Records) in 1991 after leaving Alligator Records. No real changes of style etc but a good production and some new songs make this well worth having. If you're an Iceman fan, like me, you'll be a pig in shit...! Enjoy

Thanks, Gus. Really like Collins. He just never really got the proper respect he deserved.

And, btw, Tab Benoit does a fantastic version of "Too Many Dirty Dishes" on the Live, Swampland Jam album.
