Review of Blues File: review Albert Collins "The Iceman At Mount Fuji"
Wonderful introduction to the legend in 40 seconds. The rest of the piece captures the style, voice, and humor in Collin's playing with the right choice in song clips and facts. Those who are unfamiliar with the 'Iceman' will find this piece and the album an ideal beginners lesson in blues music.
