Albert COLLINS - There's Gotta Be a Change 1971
TWS 103

Blues

Although this probably isn't Albert Collins' best album, it is significant for several reasons. Producer Bill Szymczyk, who had great commercial success with B.b. King on Indianola Mississippi Seeds obviously hoped to duplicate that for his own Tumbleweed label. To that end, an all-star assemblage of players were present for these sessions at the famed Record Plant West in Los Angeles. Highlights include a slashing guitar duel between Collins and Jessie Ed Davis.

"The Albert Collins LP is a solid blues album, but far from his best LPs, probably because the production includes too many guests (Dr John, various horn players) and features mostly white session men/musicians: Jim Keltner, Jesse Ed Davis, Brian Garofalo... Good L.A musicians but not bluesmen! Only 9 tracks, with great blues ("There's got to be a change") but also a dispensable novelty blues called "Frog jumpin". Once again, amazing packaging with gatefold and giant poster."
