I actually enjoyed getting into stuff when the show was at night. But, as Larry said, getting to listen to it is the best part of the show!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:03pm
Little Danny:

Larry, you may have already covered this, but the vamps from "Sex Machine" and "Cold Sweat" worked their way into a lot of blues musicians's funkier jams, too, a la "It's Your Thing"
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:03pm
Funky16Corners:

@Danny - It is indeed huge, and so long, time-wise and on a bunch of different labels, I don't think there's a single, comprehensive set out there of his stuff
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:04pm
Franco Twinkie:

I love Albert Collins and his 1000 foot long guitar cord.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:04pm
Little Danny:

Yeah, and, like John Lee Hooker, he recorded for dozens of indie labels...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:05pm

Ike and Tina Turner are the same way, Major stuff stretched out over several unassociated labels.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:06pm

This Collins record is such a beast. Way ahead of its time for '59. Definitely pointed the way towards a mod stylishness
