Our Take

Albert Collins' "Cold Snap" is a frosty concoction of bluesy goodness that will have you feeling cooler than an iceberg in the Arctic. With his signature icy guitar licks and soulful vocals, Collins takes listeners on a journey through the frostbitten landscapes of the blues.

The album kicks off with the toe-tapping "Cash Talkin' (The Workingman's Blues)", a gritty anthem for the blue-collar working class. Collins' raw voice cuts through the chilly air like a sharp gust of wind, leaving listeners shivering with delight.

Tracks like "Bending Like a Willow Tree" and "Iceman" showcase Collins' unparalleled guitar skills, with blistering solos that will make your fingers numb just listening to them. The icy coolness of Collins' playing is matched only by the hot fire of his passion for the blues.

But it's not all icy blues on "Cold Snap" - tracks like "A Good Fool Is Hard to Find" and "Lights Are On But Nobody's Home" bring a warm touch of soul to the album, melting even the coldest of hearts. Collins' expressive playing and heartfelt lyrics will have you reaching for a tissue as well as a frosty beverage.

In conclusion, Albert Collins' "Cold Snap" is a chillingly good album that will leave you shivering with delight. So grab a hot chocolate, wrap up in your warmest blanket, and let the cool vibes of Collins' blues wash over you like a cold snap in the dead of winter.
