Truckin' with Albert Collins is an album by the American musician Albert Collins, released in 1969.[1][2] It was originally released as The Cool Sounds of Albert Collins, in 1965.[3] It was reissued by MCA Records in 1991.[4]

Production

Produced by Bill Hall, the album was recorded at Gold Star Studios, in Houston, Texas.[5] Nine of the tracks, recorded in 1962 and 1963, had already been released as singles; "Icy Blue", "Kool Aide", and "Shiver 'n Shake" date to April 1965 sessions.[6][5] The initial Blue Thumb release was channeled for stereo sound.[7] Many of the tracks employ a horn section.[8] Collins used open D-minor and F-minor tunings and played without a pick.[9][10] He sings on "Dyin' Flu", perhaps his first recorded vocal performance.[6]

The Detroit Free Press opined that "the dynamic levels, moods, metronomic speeds, and rhythms ... are so very similar that it's practically impossible to tell one selection from another."[16] The Province said that Collins has "striven for an instrumental approach that, while acknowledging the profound influence of [T-Bone] Walker and [Albert] King, is an immediately recognizable, wholly personable mode of expression."[17] The Edmonton Journal praised the "hard-drivin, fast-rollin contemporary blues... Easily the best modern interpreter of old-style 'truckin'' blues."[18]

The San Francisco Examiner stated that the 1991 reissue "restores a crucial classic of the literature."[4] AllMusic wrote that "his trademark sound is in place—his leads are stinging, piercing and direct."[11] The Rolling Stone Album Guide noted the "eerie tone clusters."[14]
