77 or 99 he still looks fine and he can still play and sing.And he has such a sweet personality!

i've come to the realization that any musician who was respected in Nashville, during the days of Roy Clark and Hee-Haw, was playing at a level that was just off the charts.

EC accused him of diddling his wife which was untrue.

Now that the pandemic is nearly over I’ve started seeing Albert Lee around clubs close to his Malibu home

@ Gawain Davies - Albert Lee played in the Nashville studios as a triple-scale, first-call guitarist for years on end, and did well-enough for himself to drive a late model Ferrari... but he also found the time to record his own works and also to go out on the road and play live, too. The former - having to have the discipline to play for the artist and the song and make a musical statement in four or eight bars or whatever - shaped his playing in that way, and stretching out on lengthy solo excursions on his own and other people's projects, especially live, allowed him to spread his wings a bit. He thinks like a composer or maybe a producer, in that you never get the feeling he is playing just to hear himself play, but that he is working towards a musical destination, telling a story - which is what you want to do as a musician. It's pretty unique. There aren't a lot of musicians who fulfill both of those roles equally well, but Albert Lee has done it brilliantly.

Sad to say yes!! Check him out with Heads Hands & Feet

I saw him in March and have to agree - he may not be quite as fast as he was when this video was made but he's still got it! I didn't get to talk to him unfortunately but I would probably been too awestruck to say much to him anyway! lol

Cornelia Denninger I'm so happy for you that you met the great Albert Lee. I've watched hundreds of his videos. It will be a dream come true if I get to see him play. What a wonderful guitarist and greater human being too love his style.

Sorry, your not the first. :)

A country Brit. Cool Beans.!

You are 110% correct on all counts. He is as humble and nice as he is talented.

I had the opportunity to see Albert Lee and his band - with guests James Burton, Ricky Skaggs and Vince Gill -in a club in Chicago a number of years ago, and let me tell you - up-close, Albert's playing is even more amazing. Everyone talks about his otherworldly technique but Albert's musicality and taste are also part of what make him special. He doesn't have an egotistical bone in his body, and always does what's right for the song. I also had seen him on tour with the Everly Brothers back in the 1980s, and he was great there, too. Blended into the background as a part of the band during their show, and cut it loose during his instrumental segment with the band. Just a tremendous musician... justifiably one of the most-recorded session musicians of all time. Oh, also saw him on tour with Clapton in the 1980s - following Lee's guest spot (also with Ry Cooder) on EC's "Money and Cirgarettes" LP. Fabulous on that recording as well and in concert with Clapton's all-star band - which included Roger Hawkins on drums and Donald "Duck" Dunn on bass. Barry Beckett on keys if memory serves.

well said!

@@GeorgiaBoy1961 lucky you

@@pabloperez4063 - Yes, I do feel lucky to have witnessed such a talent in his prime.

I hear ya!!…amazing pickin’…. wish Albert had kept playing the tele instead of switching to that red offset guitar later, but of course he sounds great on that too! * legend*

Humble... But how many Ferraris has he got?

And thank you.

Thank you Brian!!!

great show i wish there were more like it. well done! thanks

You had a heck of a show there! Always thought an interesting concept for a music based show would be to get artists willing to learn a song come on and cover something they hadn't done that the producer thinks would be interesting. Would probably be a very hard sell...but if successful, could take on a life of its' own.

You should be very proud Brian ... wow such talent to burn ... wonderful that you ot them all together ....!

these 2 are the best ...amazing muscians

what is a applematertion ? did you go to collage ?

Earls Pearls - I wrote "agglomeration," wise guy. Went far beyond college. Are you able to read?

lol... Glad to see you corrected your spelling !

Richard Agins well !! Aren't you "Mr. Pedantic." So impressive.

Agree. Are there others in Yt live?

Vivienne Pierce was

Some mandolin players can rock. I’m thinking of Fred Tackett for one, and a great session and live guitarist as well.

I'll never be able to dance like Fred Astaire or play tennis like Roger Federer; doesn't mean I can't enjoy dancing or playing tennis. Same here - don't try to compete with the best; just be the best you can be and enjoy it!

Randy?

@@MonteD1 no, it’s just my trousers are a little tight

Practice your scales!

HAHAAHAHAHA ! ! Funny my friend ! !

Patriotic Beats I hear ya!😂

There another serious band . Marty can play a tele with the best of them and they have that real country sound .

Yes. Harry’s looking like he’s having more fun than some or most of the other shows in this series. One of my all time favorite shows along with Austin City Limits.

Bill Branch Ricky is playing those licks on luxury liner.

I love Ricky Skaggs, too, but to tell you the truth, his guitar was turned off for that song.

bill branch Actually it wasn't Skaggs was playing the fills Brent Rowan was just in the background... I know how Brent's guitar sounds vs. Ricky's and Skaggs B-Bender licks were the B-Bender fills, Rowan didn't have a B-Bender that night.

The guitar was made by Santa Barbara guitar maker,Phil Kubicki (who is no longer with us), the B-bender mechanism is by Dave Evans (think he’s in the San Francisco area) and Albert thinks they’re Seymour Duncan pick ups. The guitar currently has a black pick guard with only two pickups but Albert says he wants to switch it back to the three pick up version.

Are you implying Albert Lee has passed? If so, he’s still picking and grinning he’s just laid to rest the tele and now plays a Music Man and has his own Albert Lee signature series, and it’s a killer guitar too!

Either English is not your Mother Tongue or I as an English man, am having trouble understanding your comment. Mr Albert Lee, is still very much with us. I shook his hand and spoke to him last Friday night in Zurich. It was an outstanding gig.

@@roundbaby4749 He has been using Music Man Guitars since the 80s (according to his interviews) but when I asked him on Friday if he still plays his Tales, he smiled and replied …Oh yes..still love ‘em.

Luxury Liner. Tjek out the live version by Emmylou Harris from 1977 also with the great Albert Lee on lead guitar 👍🏻👍🏻

@@james140576 amazing versión

I always see A.L. playing that red E.B. but it doesn't have the sound of the Tele. The Tele is the best electric guitar for country picking.

Agreed. Albert's EB sounds totally anemic compared to his Tele.

A mystery to me why he plays the other

Yep

Harry Stinson has the most amazing pedigree as a drummer. His work with the Fabulous Superlatives is the result of decades of superb drumming for so many bands/groups/singers.

No

yep

His band and His show ... wish it would have lasted longer ... saw it 1 season

Speaking of Vince Gill and you are right, he is right up there with Albert. I am pretty sure that is Vince Gill in the audience at 8:40, apparently going to school. He was much younger then and carrying a bit more weight. The guy to his left is another musician, whos name escapes me now. I have seen Albert many times while he was playing in the Hot Band for Emmylou Harris. He was certainly at the top of his trade during those years with Harris.

His singing is the same with Kentucky Thunder, so I don't WTF you're talking about -- and I'm pretty sure that makes at least two of us.
