The Iceman Cometh
Collins’ guitar of choice was the Fender Telecaster, an instrument he made sing like no other. His guitar was often referred to as the “master of the Telecaster,” and he became known as “The Iceman.” He preferred heavy-gauge strings and a capo on the fifth fret, giving his playing a sharp, piercing quality.
His 1965 album, “The Iceman Cometh,” remains one of his most celebrated works. The album showcased his exceptional guitar work and his commanding vocal presence, making it a cornerstone in the world of electric blues.

He had a knack for making his guitar practically talk, cry, and wail, creating an emotional connection with his audience.
Stage Presence and Energy
Beyond his musical prowess, Collins was a magnetic live performer. He would storm onto the stage in his signature hat and custom-made, guitar-shaped coffin guitar case, immediately grabbing the audience’s attention. His energetic and electrifying performances made every show an unforgettable experience. Collins never stood still, dancing and engaging with the crowd, giving his all to each performance.

Throughout his career, Collins received numerous awards and honors, including a Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Album in 1986 for his album “Showdown,” a collaborative effort with fellow blues giants Robert Cray and Johnny Copeland.
Challenges and Perseverance
Collins faced his share of personal challenges, including health issues that caused him to perform from a wheelchair in his later years.
