Albert Collins, known as "The Master of the Telecaster," was an influential American blues guitarist and singer. Born in 1932, Collins made a significant impact on the blues scene with his unique style, characterized by his use of alternate tunings and capo, and his sharp, piercing sound. Noted for his powerful live performances and his influential works like "Frosty" and "Cold, Cold Feeling," he significantly influenced the blues genre and inspired many musicians. Collins, who was posthumously inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1995, remains a seminal figure in the world of blues music.
