Thanks for the comments guys. He was an awesome performer, guitarist, and singer. There will never be another like him.

I used to see Albert live at a little club called the Golden Bear, across the street from the pier in Huntington Beach, Ca. This was in the early to mid 70’s. This was before wireless guitar hookups. Albert must have had a guitar cord that was over 300 feet long. He would kill the crowd by walking out the front door and duck walking down Pacific Coast Highway, with most of the audience following behind him. I had never seen anything so original before or since. Thanks for the memories.

The first time I heard “I ain’t drunk”, I was blown away. Albert Collins was an entertainer in the truest sense of the word. He was Redd Foxx, Buddy Guy and Albert King all rolled into one.
He played some SCREAMING guitar, and his tone is unmistakeable. He was one of a kind, and is missed.
He wasn’t called “The Master of the Telecaster” for nothin’.

John, thanks for the great podcasts. Keep ‘em coming.
