The Texan blues giant Albert Collins enjoys far greater divinity in modern times than he was ever afforded before, especially at the point in his career when he provided a stunning set at Joe's Place in Cambridge, MA in 1973.

Joe's Place offered a smaller and more intimate setting for Collins who performs a selection of his repertoire including Backstroke, Frosty and Thaw Out, three gems from his 1965 debut The Cool Sounds Of Albert Collins. Collins applied his unique and revered style with piercing solos and unlikely improvisations that echoed his aforementioned debut from 1965, an icebreaker album that would help establish Collins as the guitar pioneer he is painted as today.

Albert Collins was eventually acknowledged as one of the most talented and distinctive blues guitarists of his era. With unconventional tunings, savage interludes and a scorching delivery, he would earn recognition with his unique brand of blues.

Echoes' homage to the phenomenal blues legend is represented in this beautifully packaged edition boasting an original, re-mastered FM broadcast that serves in further celebrating the unique, improvisational depth of a true blues giant.
