Albert Collins and The Icebreakers with "Frosty"

Описание: Albert Collins — “The Master of the Telecaster” — delivers a fiery live version of his signature instrumental “Frosty,” recorded November 26, 1980, at Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, Germany, for the legendary Rockpalast television series. This performance captures Collins and his band, The Icebreakers, at their absolute peak — blending biting Texas blues, sizzling guitar tone, and the kind of stage presence that made him one of the most electrifying live acts in the blues world.

Originally recorded by Collins in 1962, “Frosty” became one of his defining tunes, helping to establish his trademark stinging guitar attack and funky, horn-driven grooves. The Rockpalast performance showcases that same timeless energy, with Collins’ Telecaster cutting through the mix like a razor and The Icebreakers locking into a tight, soulful rhythm.

This version was later included on the official release Albert Collins & The Icebreakers: Live at Rockpalast (Dortmund 1980), available on both CD and DVD — a must-have document of one of blues’ greatest showmen in his prime.
