Album of the Day

Albert Collins: Cold Snap. Albert was a great ol' blues guy, with a slicing guitar sound coming out of his Telecaster. I first heard Cold Snap back in band camp my sophomore year of high school - we marched to meals to the strains of "I Ain't Drunk." Try that today and see the complaints pour in! This is the best Collins album I've got, with great horn section accompaniment on "A Good Fool is Hard to Find" and Albert's gritty "Too Many Dirty Dishes." Quality stuff.
