Albert Lee

 

Albert Lee has spent the last 15 years laying his guitar down with the very best in the business. Now he's finally fulfilling his own career goals, brilliantly. As ever he brings with him a top class band including Pete Wingfield on keys, Gerry Hogan on pedal steel, Brian Hodgson on bass, and Pete Baron on drums.

He has played with the very best artists in the business in a 40 year career. He made his Name with Heads Hands & Feet in the early 70’s before living a dual existence either side of the Atlantic, whilst playing with Eric Clapton, John Cocker, Emmylou Harris, The Everly Brothers, Joe Cocker, and more latterly Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings.


Based in both L.A. and Nashville, which partly explains both his recent Grammy award for Best Instrumentalist with Nashville superstar Earl Scruggs, and his most recent “Heartbreak Hill” album which features the cream of New Country ranging from Jerry Douglas, Earl Scruggs, Rodney Crowell, and Buddy Miller to Jimmy Dale Gilmore and Vince Gill.


But it is as a virtuoso guitarist that Albert is best known being equally home as a Rocker as he is Country guitarist. His famous show stopper “Country Boy” features some of the hottest guitar playing ever recorded.

 

The 2002 Grammy Award Winner for  'Foggy Mountain Breakdown' from the CD Earl Scruggs and Friends won a Grammy on 27th February 2002 for Best Country Instrumental Performance (Earl Scruggs, Glen Duncan, Randy Scruggs, Steve Martin, Vince Gill, Marty Stuart, Gary Scruggs, Albert Lee, Paul Shaffer, Jerry Douglas and Leon Russell). Albert is undoubtedly one of the finest guitarists the world has ever seen.  Voted Guitar Player Magazine’s “Best Country Guitar Picker” five times, Albert also received two consecutive nominations for a Grammy Award in the Best Instrumental category and in October 1995 received a coveted Gold Badge Award from B.A.S.C.A. (The British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors).
