"That's right. You might not like this CD. If you like Ashlee Simpson 159 take family friendly music with technologically enhanced vocals all wrapped up in a pretty pink ribbon, then you might not like this CD.



If, however, you like raw blues played by a talented musician, then you will appreciate this CD.



This is Albert Collins in his early years, the Master of the Telecaster when he was a baby. Don't let the stupid haircut fool you, this CD rocks. You might expect a young Mr. Collins still trying to figure out his sound, but you'd be wrong. The riffs are just as good as anything he did in his later years, and the Telecaster sounds just as sweet.



It is a live recording from a small club in Canada. The sound is not studio perfect, and Mr. Collins breaks a string during the third song (but that doesn't seem to even slow him down).



Great music.
