1. Why doesn't this guy have more CD's? I was turned on to him by Hohner Harmonicas website. He's endorsed by them. He plays Chicago Blues style Harp like nobodys business. And finally, FINALLY, a harp player with some soul! Rough and graveled voice where there should be and smooth where there should be. If you know blues, this CD is for you. If you don't know blues, you like it anyway.

1. BEING THAT I MADE THIS PURCHASE IN FEBRUARY 2007 AND THE CD WAS RELEASED IN 1984 I KNEW I WAS TAKING A CHANCE BASED ON ONE OF SHAQ'S "The King Of The World Blues Reviewer" MAIN CRITERIA: SOUND QUALITY! THIS CD TYPIFIES ONE OF MY WORST FEARS! POOR RECORDING QUALITY. ALBERT COLLINS, IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BEST ELECTRIC BLUES GUITARIST'S, BUT THE SOUND QUALITY IS VERY POOR! IN ADDITION, 39 MINUTES IS PRETTY SHORT FOR A LIVE BLUES PERFORMANCE. UNLESS YOU'RE A COLLECTOR, WHO JUST WANTS TO PUT A CHECK MARK ON ALL OF ALBERT'S RECORDINGS, I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THE PURCHASE.



2. Mr. Collins is without a doubt my favorite guitarist. If you want to play in Texas, you have to play music people can dance to, and this influence is evident in Albert's live music. His Telecaster set up produces a more powerful sound, and his sense of humor can be detected in all his CDs. His potent blues riffs cut "way down deep into your soul".
   
   This is a good CD with some soul piercing blues as well as some foot tapping good time tunes. The Master is accompanied by a small backup band. It's a gritty, all out jam.



3. Albert Collins unleashes the soul of blues guitar on this album! From beginning to end this recording cuts to the listener's core, as Collins' guitar performs musical surgery with a master's skill! All of the songs are great, but the real gem is "Stormy Monday." Collins' version is simply outstanding! In this song Albert Collins truly pierces the very soul of the listener, and lifts it to a higher place! The guitar solo is breathtaking! This album is full of great music, and should be owned by every real fan of blues. Buy it now and experience the depth of a blues legend.



4. This cd is really an explosive mix,blended with the great presence of this power trio in one of perhaps, the best "Live"performances ever released.Casey Jones on drums;A.C. Reed on sax and the "Iced-hot Man" Albert Collins is really an explosive mix you must try on!!!



5. It is impossible to describe the raw energy of this CD. Don't even think of sitting down! Your foot will be tapping inside of 30 seconds flat. You will be dancing in the kitchen. The greatest legal pick-me-up since caffein. It's like stickin' your finger right into the Blues socket when your momma isn't lookin'. It feels so fun it must be bad.

   Carefully save this CD for that dark, grey day when you just don't have the get-up-and-go to do what you have to do that day. Then insert this CD and crank the volume waaay up. It could save your life.

1. This sultry concert was recorded (Thank God!) in Los Angeles in the summer of 1998, and OH!! - What A Night! The very gifted Phil Upchurch playing guitar is front and center on these eight hot and cookin' R & B cuts! Backing him is the 20-piece Phil-Harmonic Orchestra adding dimension to the rich musical experience. And in addition, 4 soulful vocalists let loose on the 9-minute encore. Reminiscent of the days of The Quiet Storm, this recording gives you a seat front-row-center to a very limited edition cd ripping with soul sounds! I dare you to sit still while you listen!
