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
