Info zu At Onkel Pö´s Carnegie Hall, Hamburg 1980 (Remastered)

Albert Collins ist einer der legendären Blues-Musiker aus dem Süden der Vereinigten Staaten, der zusammen mit seiner Band The Icebreakers mit Tourneen in den USA und insbesondere in Europa für Begeisterungsstürme beim Publikum sorgte. Collins‘ kraftvolles Spiel beeinflusste Generationen von Blues-Musikern wie Robert Cray oder Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Ein unvergessenes Konzert von Albert Collins und den Icebreakers erlebte das Hamburger Publikum am 1. Dezember 1980 im Onkel Pö; es war eine über zweistündige Blues-Party. Das vollständige Konzert liegt jetzt erstmals als Albumveröffentlichung vor. Eine Empfehlung für die Freunde des Blues!!!

"Der NDR fing den Event damals mit opulentem Equipment ein – formidabel, denn die Clubatmosphäre ist in feiner Auflösung, mit Farbechtheit und Druck zu erleben. Ein Muss und ein Genuss für alle Blues-Fans." (Audio)

"Vielmehr gab es an jenem Abend einen Mix aus dynamisch groovenden sowie getrageneren Bluesnummern, die es ähnlich wie beim wenige Tage zuvor in der Dortmunder Westfalenhalle aufgezeichneten ›Rockpalast‹-Auftritt von Albert Collins & Co. dank ausgiebiger Improvisationen auch schon einmal auf Laufzeiten von an die zehn Minuten und mehr brachten." (Good Times)

Albert Collins
There has never been and may never be again a bluesman quite like Albert Collins. "The Master Of The Telecaster" was born on October 1, 1932, in Leona, Texas. A cousin of the legendary Lightnin' Hopkins, Collins emerged with a blues sound and style all his own, featuring a combination of icy echo, shattering, ringing, sustained high notes, an ultra-percussive right-hand attack, and an unheard-of minor key guitar tuning (taught to him by his cousin Willow Young). Deeply influenced by T-Bone Walker, John Lee Hooker and Gatemouth Brown, Collins absorbed the sounds of Mississippi, Chicago, and especially Texas. He formed his own band in 1952, packing clubs around Houston. In the early 1960s, Collins' "cool sound" instrumentals like the million-seller Frosty (recorded with a young Johnny Winter and Janis Joplin in attendance at the studio) and follow-ups Sno Cone and Thaw Out were all over R&B radio. Soon he was sharing stages with his idols Gatemouth Brown and T-Bone Walker.

Then, in the mid-'60s (following a move from Texas to Kansas City to California), Collins broke into the rock 'n' roll world, releasing three albums produced by members of Canned Heat, and began playing the San Francisco psychedelic circuit. But Albert's greatest success came after he signed with Alligator in 1978 and cut Ice Pickin'. It won the Best Blues Album of the Year Award from the Montreux Jazz Festival, and was nominated for a Grammy. His following Alligator albums helped earn Collins every award the blues world had to offer. And, along with Johnny Copeland and Robert Cray (who decided on a career as a bluesman after seeing Collins play his high school prom) Collins cut the Grammy-winning Showdown!.

Even after he was firmly established as a major modern bluesman, Collins never got too big for his fans and friends, and never took things easy. And he never relinquished the wheel of his battered tour bus that he loved to drive so much. Along with his band, The Icebreakers, Collins' live shows -- driven by his kinetic stage presence -- were legendary testaments to the power of the blues. With his untimely death in 1993, Albert Collins left behind a blues legacy that continues to amaze and delight blues fans all over the world.
