There has never been and may never be again a bluesman quite like Albert Collins. A cousin of the legendary Lightnin’ Hopkins, Collins emerged with a blues sound and style all his own, featuring a combination of icy echo, shattering, ringing, sustained high notes, an ultra-percussive right-hand attack, and an unheard-of minor key guitar tuning. In the mid-60s, Collins broke into the rock ‘n’ roll world, releasing three albums produced by members of Canned Heat, and began playing the San Francisco psychedelic circuit.<\/p>\n
But Albert’s greatest success came after he signed with Alligator in 1978 and cut Ice Pickin’. Home to the all-time fan favorites “Honey Hush,” “Master Charge” and “Conversation With Collins,” it won the Best Blues Album of the Year Award from the Montreux Jazz Festival, and was nominated for a Grammy. His following Alligator albums helped earn Collins every award the blues world had to offer. And, along with Johnny Copeland and Robert Cray (who decided on a career as a bluesman after seeing Collins play his high school prom) Collins cut the Grammy-winning Showdown!<\/p>\n
Out of print on vinyl for over 25 years and never before released in 180-gram form, the Master of the Telecaster’s Alligator debut Ice Pickin’ has been fully remastered and truly sounds better than ever!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
