Albert Collins, also known as "The Ice Man" and "The Master of the Telecaster," was a pioneering force in blues guitar, known for his sharp, stinging fretwork and his innovative use of altered tunings and capo placement. Born on October 1, 1932, in Leona, Texas, Collins carved out a unique sound that blended raw, expressive blues with funk-infused rhythms, earning him a dedicated following among blues aficionados and fellow musicians alike.
His career spanned multiple decades and included collaborations with notable artists, as well as a Grammy Award for his 1985 album "Showdown!", where he teamed up with fellow bluesmen Johnny Copeland and Robert Cray. Although Collins passed away on November 24, 1993, his legacy continues through posthumously released live recordings such as "Live From Austin, TX" and "Live At Montreux 1992," which capture the electrifying energy of his performances. His discography is not only a testament to his mastery of the electric guitar but also to the endearing power of the blues genre. Albert Collins remains an influential figure for guitarists and music lovers, heralded for his distinctive tone, soulful playing, and indelible contributions to the world of music.
