Product Details

Collins came up in Houston's fertile blues scene, drawing from the same deep well as Guitar Slim and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown before developing a sound entirely his own. His open minor tuning and capo work gave the Telecaster a biting, icy attack that no one before or since has convincingly replicated, and *Ice Pickin'* remains the definitive document of that gift, captured at full power with the Icebreakers locked in tight behind him.


140 gram reissue vinyl reissue of the Grammy-nominated Alligator debut by The Master of the Telecaster, Albert Collins. An essential part of any blues collection, the album features all-time fan favorites like Master Charge, Honey Hush and Conversation With Collins. All tracks remastered. Revered as a true blues legend, Albert Collins' greatest success came after he signed with Alligator and cut ICE PICKIN.' It won the Best Blues Album of the Year Award from the Montreux Jazz Festival, in addition to being nominated for a Grammy, and has been inducted into the Blues Hall Of Fame.
