There's a great clip on KZfaq from the Rockpile documentary Born Fighters where Lee comes in to do the solo for Sweet Little Lisa on Dave Edmunds record and just blows the minds of Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Huey Lewis, Phil Lynott and everyone else in the room. Definitely worth checking out.

i was just watching a documentary of Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe in the Studio recording the original version of this song with Albert Lee back in the 70s. Dave, who's no slouch on the guitar himself, called in Albert just to fanboy out over his playing and give the song an extra touch of class...his bottom lip was quivering, don't know if Dave was going to laugh or cry during those solos. Then this showed up in my feed. Cool, I did not know Albert was also a great singer..I'm gonna look up more of his music..hes really cool.

Love Albert Lee! First saw him playing in Emmylou Harris' Hot Band in the late 70's, damn, so fast. I think another feather in his cap is the great Dave Edmunds' praise for his lead guitar work on "Sweet Little Lisa," which is included in the great Rockpile documentary, "Born Fighters."
@markmiwurdz2022 жыл бұрын
@TheBham54. You may already know this. In the sleeve notes of one of Albert's more recent CD's, Emmylou Harris writes (something like) "When I get to the Pearly Gates and St. Peter asks me what I did on Earth, I will say with pride - if that's allowed - that I played rhythm guitar in a band with Albert Lee". Kind of says it all really! Stay safe and well.

Saw Albert years ago at a local working Man's club here in the U.K , he was playing with a band called Hogan's Heroes and it was one of the best shows I have ever witnessed . For someone of his stature to play a place with only a 500 capacity shows he's just happy playing anywhere / anytime , class act and you should check out his tutorial video which is not for mere mortals . Could even be uploaded on KZfaq ?

Hi Michael. I've been watching your videos for a while. I don't subscribe much, nor do I interact much online, but I just subscribed. I was rewatching the Marcus King Billy Strings Center Village Guitars from 2019 and saw your reaction video you did in 2020. Not that long ago, but it feels like forever. And it occurred to me in watching you from back then that it seems like you've come a long way. Not so much in your instructionary method, but more in content creation. You seem more comfortable, production quality is better, overall just better at what you've been doing all along to which to me, is providing accessable, reasonable, ideas about how to approach the infinitely complex simplicity that is playing a guitar. Not only that, which is extremely helpful and getting more difficult to find, but your input beyond just keeping that thing in your hand and doing a little bit every day, about how to be a better musician/bandmate, is so relatable. Not only are you an amazing talent, but a once-in-a-lifetime teacher/inspirer/entertainer. So thank you for that. Anyway, I don't know if you'll see this, but I thought it might be a cool idea for you to do a reaction to one of your early reactions. Yes, a video of you reacting not only to yourself, but a re-reaction to the same song. Much love, keep bringing the best content, all the best to you and yours, and cheers! - jrp

Albert is an absolute monster.

@ari1234a. Search KZfaq and try to find a video called "Born Fighter" where Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe are filmed in the studio working on solo and band (Rockpile) projects. Watch Dave Edmund's reaction to Albert Lee's solo on "Sweet Little Lisa". Edmund's (no slouch on the 6 string himself)) jaw hits the floor! After the take, Albert comes into the studio control room - modest to a fault, with this kind of "Hope that was OK" air about him. Albert opens a beer and sits down to lIsten to the playback of his solo. There will never be another Albert Lee. Stay safe and well.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Albert Lee (an Englishman) was voted "Best Guitarist" by the CMA for six - maybe even seven years, on the bounce during the mid 1970's. Albert's style of playing is truly unique and not derived from earlier players. And check out his cover of Jimmy Webb's "Highwayman" - just Albert on keyboard and vocal on the Andertons Guitars YT channel from a few years back. Albert sang the song for the then recently deceased father - in - law of the host. Albert is not only a fine musician, but a gentleman. Try to see him live before he decides to retire.
