albert collins and the icebreakers live in japan
Albert Gene Drewery, known as Albert Collins and the Ice Man (October 1, 1932 – November 24, 1993), was an American electric blues guitarist and singer with a distinctive guitar style. He was noted for his powerful playing and his use of altered tunings and a capo. His long association with the Fender Telecaster led to the title "The Master of the Telecaster".
He played the guitar, harmonica and did vocals, but also worked as a paint mixer and truck driver to make ends meet. In 1971, when he was 39 years old, he worked in construction, since he couldn't make a proper living from his music.
Sadly, after a three-month battle with cancer, Collins died at his home in Las Vegas, Nevada at the age of 61 years old.
