Husband of Gwendolyn Collins (married in 1968). Collins was the embodiment of the Texas blues guitar style, using non-standard tuning, and slashing out blocked chords and sharp flurries of treble notes to produce an "ice-cold" sound from his Fender Telecaster as a consequence, he had many nicknames such as the "Ice Man" and "The Master of the Telecaster".

Albert Collins, "The Master of the Telecaster," "The Iceman," and "The Razor Blade" was robbed of his best years as a blues performer by a bout with liver cancer that ended with his premature death on November 24, 1993. He was just 61 years old. The highly influential, totally original Collins, like the late John Campbell, was on the cusp of a much wider worldwide

ALBERT COLLINS Reviews

ALBERT COLLINS Live At Montreux 1992

Live album · 2008 · Blues
Cover art Buy this album from MMA partners
CounterClockWorld
An essential (and criminally underrated) album, Albert Collins in general is unfortunately very overlooked especially compared to contemporaries such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, but AC has some serious chops and has honestly become my favorite blues guitarist. This album is a live album (obviously) and imo the songs have much more breathing room and most of the songs here are extended jams ranging from 6 to 10 minutes the songs are very energetic especially the horns, honesty the horns alone make this album worthwhile, combined with the guitar playing its a match made in heaven, the track "Too Many Dirty Dishes" as one of the greatest sax solos ever. If you want to get into AC then definitely start here, longs story short it's an Electric Texas Blues classic and should be held in higher praise
