Truckin' with Albert Collins is an album by the American musician Albert Collins, released in 1969.[1][2] It was originally released as The Cool Sounds of Albert Collins, in 1965.[3] It was reissued by MCA Records in 1991.[4]
Produced by Bill Hall, the album was recorded at Gold Star Studios, in Houston, Texas.[5] Nine of the tracks, recorded in 1962 and 1963, had already been released as singles; "Icy Blue", "Kool Aide", and "Shiver 'n Shake" date to April 1965 sessions.[6][5] The initial Blue Thumb release was channeled for stereo sound.[7] Many of the tracks employ a horn section.[8] Collins used open D-minor and F-minor tunings and played without a pick.[9][10] He sings on "Dyin' Flu", perhaps his first recorded vocal performance.[6]
