Famously known as "The Master of the Telecaster," Albert Collins represents one of the most difficult to copy styles of blues guitar, largely due to his trademark use of non-standard tuning, capos and barefinger-plucking.

Collins' preoccupation with sub-zero temperatures as manifested in the album titles "The Iceman," "Defrost," "Frosty," "Sno-Cone," "Cold Snap," "Don't Lose Your Cool," "Ice Pickin'," "Frostbite" and "Molten Ice" combined with his "icy" tones also earned him the nickname "The Iceman."

In Too Many Dirty Dishes, Albert comes home from a long, hard day at work to find that his wife, who has seemingly gone out for the evening, has spent the day entertaining and left behind telltale evidence which poor Albert has to clean up. It's enough to give a man the blues!

Those who follow 80's movies and are less familiar with the blues may recognize Albert Collins from Adventures in Babysitting, starring Elizabeth Shue, from the blues club scene.

Collins passed away in 1993 at the age of 61. The number of dirty dishes he left unwashed in his sink is unknown.
