From Iceman (1991). Iceman is the tenth studio album by the American blues guitarist Albert Collins, released in March 1991 on Virgin Records under the sub-label Pointblank. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1963 Telecaster Relic through a Fender Twin Amp (Black Knob), the rig we use for Albert Collins' other songs from Iceman, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
