Albert came to Indianapolis to do a guitar clinic at my friend's store. He drove into Indy thinking he'd find a hotel room, no problem, unaware that the weekend he came was the weekend of the Indy 500 motor race and the nearest hotel with a vacancy was in Chicago. He stayed at my friend's house for a couple days and that Saturday night they went to a local bar where a local country band was playing. My friend spoke to the band during a break and asked if his friend could sit in, "Well... can he play?" "Yeah, he's OK." Needless to say, minds were blown.

Albert is so cool. He is always talking about how lucky he was to get to play with so many great artist. So very humble for being one of the greats himself.

I feel privileged to have listened to this.

The Great Albert Lee at Norm's 👍 A vintage player playing a vintage guitar👌

Wow Albert Lee has a nice voice. Norm did great on the harmonies too. That was a great song to do too.

Albert is so likable, utterly charming, and seems incredibly humble.

I felt bad for Albert that he was being prodded to sing, but then he sang and I'm so glad that it happened. What a treat!

Albert Lee What a player het is!! Unbelievable Respect!

Sure enjoyed when Albert and Norm were singing. Albert is just the best.

He's in his twilight years now, but gee he still knows how to bring out the essence of a song. He had me singing-a-long at the end, no other word simply a Great.

I had the honour and absolute pleasure to see Albert and his band play in a small arts centre a few years ago, he modestly, almost embarassed, said he'd played an arena show with Eric Clapton a few days before. He knew where every note on the fretboard was and could them it at will. Genius and as modest as he is talented. Absolute legend.

I got to play with Albert in LA 10 years ago, he's a monster!

That was a surprise. Albert is senior chap these days but his voice and playing were beautiful. What a treat.

What a treasure Albert Lee is to the world. At his peak his playing was untouchable

The first time I heard of Albert Lee was when he backed the Everly Brothers in my home town. It was a magical night for me. I met him a few years later at a guitar masterclass. A class act and a master on the guitar!

The Legendary Albert Lee! When EC says you're one of the very best, you know you are! What a True Musician!!! His Voice sounds Fantastic and matches his fingers abilities!

Albert is the sweetest guy. I like him playing through Norm's monologue. I mean, really, the guitar is the featured speaker, and also Albert. Please live forever Mr. Lee.

Just knowing that Phil used to play that guitar is truly exciting. Albert is such a nice guy. Thanks for presenting this history. Wonderful sound.

Besides being a living legend, Albert is the consummate gentleman!

Even as an older man, the music just pours out of Albert. A wonderful little surprise to find this video. Thank you Norm and thank you Albert Lee.

I suddenly feel rather old. Because watching this reminds me, that the first time I witnessed Albert’s amazing skills, was when he was playing in England with Chris Farlowe and the Thunderbirds in 1968. I later saw him on two occasions with Emmylou Harris’s Hot Band. Albert is also a very accomplished piano player. Such a modest unassuming man. I would urge people to check Albert's Wikipedia entry, where the career section reads like a who's who of the rock world.

Albert is one of the best players and nicest people ever! In 1991 he signed my modded Tele for me after we opened for Carlene Carter. What an icon!

Albert Lee...what a fine gentleman and amazing musician. Almost 80 years old in this video and still showing his humble side while admitting he was a part of one of the most influential groups to ever record music. Legend!!

What a legend he is!!! Great video. I hope those customers wandering around realized they were in the presence of guitar royalty!!!!

Albert Lee is one of the absolute nicest guys out there. One of the great guitar players.

Hanging out with Norm and friends like Albert Lee just sooo entertaining. Albert's wife also such a lady! This made my day.

Albert Lee is a total gentleman I see him in Belfast playing with Emmy Lou Harris the band was super the star was Albert. A Gentle man always.

No wonder Albert is such a happy guy. He has a gorgeous wife and some cherished friends. Norm, you allways seem to downplay your own musical talents, but this duet with Albert was heartfelt and beautiful. Just my 2 coppers. Stay well young men!

What an absolute legend of a man. Beautiful song!

Albert Lee is a living guitar god.

Somewhere out there in KZfaq land there is a video called "Born Fighter". It's all about Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds in the studio recording tracks for various solo and band (Rockpile) projects. Near the end of the film, Albert Lee comes in to the session to play on "Sweet Little Lisa" for Dave's album "Repeat When Necessary". Albert plays his solo and outro' on his Telecaster with the B-bender and they play the tape back. Dave Edmunds - no slouch on the six-string himself, is just floored by Albert's playing! Albert - ever the gentleman and modest to a fault, comes back into the lounge area with this kind of "Was that O.K.?" air about him, sits down and opens a beer. Albert Lee is phenomenal! I am pleased to say that I have been so fortunate to be in the same room as him quite a few times. Check Albert's performance of "Highwayman" on Anderton's Guitars (U.K.) YT channel. Just Albert singing and playing piano. Minted. Thank you Albert, and Norman for this video. All of you and yours stay safe and well.

A legend. He’s played with everyone. Although he didn’t employ it here, he’s a master of that hybrid fiat picking/fingerstyle technique, which I’ve always found to be impossible.

So humble . One of THE best players around . He has no problem playing in the back ground or up front showing his chops !

Through the 80's/90's living in England we looked forward to seeing Albert Lee and his band Hogan's Heros whenever they toured. Then I bumped into him in York (England) where he was with the Everly Brothers tour, and he was happy to have a chat and give me his autograph.

I met Albert several times he signed my Ernie ball music man Albert Lee guitar, such a lovely guy. in his earlier days he could wipe the floor with any shredder on the planet. Albert always played clean not hiding behind distortion and played blisteringly fast melodic and clean. Something shredders fear.

It’s amazing how in these videos, the guitars bring out so many historical anecdotes by those who were there at the time. It’s great that these stories are now being recorded.

What an absolute gent Albert is, he takes unassuming to another level!

Albert Lee is such a brilliant guitarist and a real gent.

Albert Lee came to town just before covid. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Unbelievable....

Albert Lee was my first post lockdown gig, he was unbelievable.

I had the pleasure of meeting Albert after a gig outside Sligo many years ago, we had a great chat about the Everly Bros and Emmylou. A lovely man who has time for everyone. Thanks Norman for posting this.

I always enjoy watching Albert Lee play. Fun to watch musicians enjoying their music. Contentment. Not a small thing.

What a lovely voice Albert has, especially at his age. I had no idea he sang.

The more I get to know Norm through these videos the more I respect him. He’s a complete gentleman and treats people well.

Albert should sing more,his voice is great.

Bravo, Albert. So wonderful to have you here, adding your memories to the history of rock n roll. ❤️

Had the pleasure of seeing Albert last month at The Stables, Milton Keynes UK (a great venue btw). Never mind the virtuoso guitar playing, as others have commented, he is in exceptionally fine voice for a gent of his years. The band included his son Wayne on keys. Good luck for the operation on the hand next month Albert! Hope all goes well. 👍

I saw Albert Lee with his band just before Covid and he was absolutely fantastic. On guitar, piano and singing he was superb, and such a nice fellow too. Top man.

Albert is a national (or better said international) treasure. I had the honour of meeting him once in one of his guitar clinics. What a gentleman and what an amazing guitar player.

What a pleasure to hear Albert Lee sing and play, and reminisce about the Everly Brothers. Gold.

My jaw just hit the floor - Norm was nailing Phil's harmony part there on Dream! My respectometer for Norm just went off the dial 😁

What a great video, the best people are always the ones in the background that don’t clamour for the limelight, but just do the job. Albert seems such an unassuming guys, but what an history he has. Total legend, and that word gets bandied about too loosely, but Albert deserves to be called a legend.

I spent 3 years with Albert on the Everly Brothers reunion tours 84-86!! What a Player !!! DIDICOY was the licence plate on his Ferrari

Sir Albert Lee. What he has done for music is well worth a knighthood. The people he has influenced with his guitar playing and artists he has performed with is incredible. I cannot believe he has never been recognised for his musical career in the UK honours list. Also an absolute gentleman. Look forward to seeing him next year.

Norm kept pushing, I thought brave! :D Then you guys played. I literally cried. What an opportunity to go back. Thank you Norm! Thank you Albert, and everyone, so much.

Albert, Thank You! Immensely Norm, thanks as well!

These great musicians like Albert Lee got the most exciting,romantic , and inspiring period in the journey of music in this world that will forever be timeless and loved for us all ......Thank You for your talents and your courage to share them!

It always made me smile knowing Countries top guitarist came from Herefordshire 🙂

I saw Albert Lee Joensuu, Finland 95-96? Talked with him even played his guitar he was real Gent. I was 5 feet away when he played gig. Last song blowed everyones mind!!

Wow what a treat Albert Lee, brought a couple of tears to my 69yr old eyes, always a #Class_Act at Norman's Rare Guitars, much love Brother from Texas SE.. bear if i ever get out that way, i wanna for sure stop bye..thanks Norman, and we the people also know about your charity work... a legacy...

I gave you guys a big round of applause after that song at the end of the video. That was great!

I met Albert Lee in the Cavern in Liverpool. He is a lovely fella!

I almost skipped this video because I saw the thumbnail and thought the guitar was ugly. I’m so glad I watched it, such great stories

Thank you very much for that Norm! I’ve recently taken a close look at the Everly Brothers. I’m 73 and I listened to lots of their stuff! It was nice to hear Walk Right Back (just a few chords) and your harmony is great! Thanks Albert Lee! Great episode! Thanks Jen!!

I've met Albert several times - he's a lovely man, indeed! (I'm lucky enough to own an 'Everly' Gibson) x RJ x

At first I was like "holy shit ,we are so old" but the song at the end brought me back ,great job Albert and the harmony too

One of the greatest most under rated guitarist of all time. I'd forgotten that he played with the Everly Brothers a lot.

A couple years ago I had the pleasure oj Jamming with a friend of Alberts in Yuma Az. Carmine Sardo said Albert is one of the nicest people in the world and we all know what a great guitar player he is. Rock on Albert. Burlington Bill here of the songs 66 Mustang and Sailing to Freedom!

This is one of the most wholesome things ive seen in a while. Albert Lee is so nice and interesting, thanks for this Norm :)

An absolute legend in music. Albert Lee is a complete musician.

I said hello to him at the checkout at Gelson's Supermarket in Calabasas(near Topanga) 25 yrs. ago...... What a superb Master Musician and kind soul!!!!

Albert and Norm singing Dream. What a great moment! Many thanks Guys🙏

Albert has always been my favorite guitarist. Norm did an awesome job singing backup with Albert.

Well that singing brought me to tears! A world lost

What A LEGEND!!!!😎👍👍🎸🎵🎶☮️✌️😍❤️

He makes that guitar sound beautiful. I can hear the Everly Brothers now.

Albert is a beast player! Got to see him a few years ago. What a doll.

What a treat! That was so good. So soulful. The real deal thank you

How Wonderful Albert still is, Ageless Legend, Happy Memories of the concerts X

Norm, thank you so much for doing these videos. They offer a great respite from our crazy world right now.

One word , legendary.

Albert is a high class guitar. Always sounds wonderful, made of quality materials, matures well & keeps on giving. Thanks all.

I never heard of Albert Lee until today. Boy was I in for a complete surprise. This man is an amazing guitar player with a style of his own. I even dig his singing too. I will definitely be going through his catalog of music.

One of the highlights of the channel! Pure history right there.

Shortly after Don & Phil reunited they played a date in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the mid 80s. My wife bought tickets and surprised me with them. If I recall correctly, the show was at the Orpheum Theater, a venue of less than 3,000. The guys put on a fantastic show and I distinctly recall them introducing the band and Albert Lee to everyone during the performance. Our seats were on the aisle and just a few rows back and slightly left of center.

Kudos to Norm for the nice harmonies!

Nice harmony on "All I Have to do is Dream", Albert and Norm! My wife and I were fortunate enough to see the Everly Brothers with Albert Lee in the 80s in Colorado at the state fair. I was also fortunate to own three Everly and J180 guitars in the days when I played a lot of acoustic gigs. Those and J200s are my favorite acoustic guitars! Thanks for this video!

I was close with Albert back in the MySpace days but it then became apparent he had a moderator sitting in his place... however I was just remembering Heads Hands and Feet today as I was spraying a hose and it was all over my feet and then I was thinking about Albert and the band and then I found this all on the same day. Albert is legend !

THAT was amazing! Not only Albert playing the guitar but to sing with him is historic!!!! Great great interview!! Albert Lee the Legend!!!

Wow, 25 years with the Everly’s/Everly. I didn’t know it was that long. Albert is one of my favourites too. I first heard the British band, Heads, Hands & Feet. I loved the album and assumed they were from the U.S. And then he did that stuff with Emmylou and all the Outlaw Country folks. I’ve got his first solo album kicking around somewhere. Can’t remember what it’s called but it showed me what an outstanding vocalist he was. There was at least one, really pretty ballad and he sang it with a ton of emotion. It’s funny how you see these old, white haired cats, strolling into a music store and you wonder, “who might this interesting looking character be?”

Such a wonderful player, and a very nice guy. I had the pleasure of meeting Albert (and Bill, and Eddie Floyd) when Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings played in the theater across the street from my house. Great memories. Thanks for sharing this video, I enjoyed it

I've met Albert a couple of times and a you would expect he's so humble and down to earth.

Love to listen to and see Albert. What a great harp player and just to hear him talking about his past is fabulous. Thanks for this and well done Albert!

How amazing was that!.. a true living icon of the music industry..the best video from NRG so far for 2021 by a country mile!🇦🇺

Albert’s smile is priceless. Thanks for bringing back a lot of great memories for Albert and the Norman’s Rare Guitar Gang.

What an awesome old guitar

When out in the lead or part of the band, it's always SPECIAL to listen to Albert. You have to love and respect him, and I do. Thank you Albert Lee and Norman!!!

Albert is a true gem! Love these videos! Thanks Norm! 👍😎❤️

Love how Norm acknowledges that legends need no introduction. They just roll right into the video.

The first time I heard Albert Lee play was on a Heads , Hands , & Feet album called Tracks and I was completely floored...so I started searching for the other Heads, Hands, & Feet albums. Albert Lee is a well respected man ! He is respected by many guitarist in the U.S. and that is cool...but it cracks me up how several iconic English guitarists react whenever his name is mentioned. Their eyes get big and they are like..."Omg...Albert Lee..yes!!"😅
