Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Albert Collins!

Please check out my Amazon Ebook One Way Out: An Oral History of the Allman Brothers Band (Kindle Single).

My good friend Kirk West has been going through his negatives and digitizing decades of great photographs. He has wonderful images of many subjects, including Croatia and the backroads of the American South. But the heart and soul of his work lies in images of musicians, from Bruce Springsteen to Lefty Dizz. His Chicago blues images are particularly wonderful, capturing an era of music and lifestyle that not only means a lot to me, but to American culture.

You can see more at his website: Kirk West Photography.

Here I present some of my favorite images of one of my favorite guitarists, the late, great Albert Collins, the Master of the Telecaster, the Iceman.
