Albert Collins, the “Master of the Telecaster,” was a Texas bluesman born in 1932 in Leona, raised in Houston. Known for his icy guitar tone, open F-minor tuning, and ferocious picking with a capo high on the neck, he carved out a sound all his own. Hits like Frosty, Iceman, and Cold, Cold Feeling earned him his nickname “The Iceman.” Through the ’70s and ’80s he built a reputation as a fiery live performer, often stepping off stage and into the crowd with a 100-foot guitar cord. A Grammy winner
