A nostalgic blues artist.
se1manmusik@gmail.com 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 following via his deal with Virgin Records' Pointblank subsidiary. However, unlike Campbell, Collins had performed for many more years, in obscurity, before finally finding a following in the mid-'80s.
Albert Collins was an electric blues guitarist known for his powerful Texas blues sound and his distinctive "Telecaster" guitar style, releasing music on labels like Alligator Records.
