From Amazon.com
One of the coolest things about the Iceman was his guitar lines; his clean, clear style suggested that it was impossible for him to put a note wrong. Truckin' with Albert Collins, a mostly instrumental collection of recordings from the early '60s (originally released as The Cool Sound of Albert Collins in 1965) is an early example of that icy-smooth playing, unhindered by vocals (the one exception is the slow blues "Dyin' Flu"). Take a gander at the titles, for starters: "Frosty," "Frostbite," "Thaw Out," "Don't Lose Your Cool," "Shiver 'N Shake," and more--one senses a trend, here. Many of these songs became signature Collins tunes, including "Sno-Cone" and the aforementioned "Frostbite." The backing band, which includes alto and tenor sax, trumpet, and organ, and includes elements of R&B, jazz, and rock, provides a warm contrast to Collins's guitar, making his guitar work stand out even more. Small wonder that he came to be known as the Master of the Telecaster. --Genevieve Williams

カスタマーレビュー

コリンズ・hot & cooool・インスト
１９６２～６３年録音で六曲目を除きインスト。コリンズのキャリアの中でも初期にあたる録音だが、彼の強烈なギター・スタイルは出来上がっており、「Frosty」「Snow-Cone Ⅱ」では爆発！スローやズンドコ・リズム（？）のバラエティも豊か。オルガンを従えた「クール・サウンド」はホットでクール！アール・フッカーのチーフ録音に通じるものがありそう。ヘンリー・ヘイズのサックス入りのこのバンドのテキサス・シャッフルは心地良い！地元テキサス・ヒューストン録音。
