ALBERT COLLINS was a
renowned American electric blues guitarist and as a relative of Lightnin'
Hopkins he grew up learning about music and guitar playing. Bob Hite (Canned
Heats larger than life singer) and UK entrepreneur Peter Shertser organised
gigs for him in the late 60's.
This album was recorded live at Fillmore West, San Francisco, USA in 1969
when on the same bill were Creedence Clearwater Revival and Fleetwood Mac!
(Jeremy Spencer from Fleetwood Mac actually recorded this album through the
deck) The bonus tracks are his singles from the 1958 to 1962 period.
Albert died in 1993 but is fondly remembered and revered as he influenced
many artists from Ronnie Wood to Jimmy Page to Gary Moore all of whom he
collaborated with. |
