InfluencesGrammy Award Pictures, Images and Photos X'S 2!!!!! 2008/09 Grammy Award Winner for Best Country Instrumental for "Custer Pluck" on Brad Paisley's track won on the 8th of February 2009. 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). In 1997 Albert was given a Lifetime Achievement Award by B.C.M.A. (The British Country Music Association). Albert has earned the worldwide respect of artistes, musicians and fans alike, across many different styles of music. He is truly a musician’s musician, with an impeccable pedigree achieved over many years' both touring and recording. Well respected by fellow musicians and fans alike, he never ceases to amaze with his unique style and enormous talent. In November 2002 Albert was amongst other world class names appearing at the Royal Albert Hall in the 'Concert for George', a tribute to George Harrison. Albert is also an accomplished piano player and has a fine singing voice with the ability to switch from a soulful ballad to 'tearing it up' rock 'n roll style. Albert has excited audiences for many years as a member of Chris Farlowe’s Thunderbirds, Country Fever, Head Hands and Feet, Eric Clapton’s band, Emmylou Harris’s Hotband, and The Crickets. Co-writer of Country Boy and writer of many other great songs, Albert's career extends to appearing and recording with many of the finest artists in the music industry, including Glen Campbell, Dave Edmunds, Dolly Parton, Bobby Bare, Joan Armatrading, Ricky Scaggs, Joe Cocker, Willie Nelson, Linda Ronstadt, Rodney Crowell, Vince Gill, Travis Tritt, The Blue Caps, Robert Wells and Earl Scruggs. Albert has also toured extensively with the Everly Brothers since their reunion concert in 1983. Albert is a popular member of Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, thrilling audiences with his playing and singing. He features prominently on the band's CDs and video. In great demand by other artistes, he has played on countless sessions not only in Nashville but all over the world. Albert has fronted his own band Hogan’s Heroes (a talented group of musicians in their own right) since the late eighties. Albert has five solo albums to his credit and two albums with Hogan’s Heroes in addition to numerous albums with the artistes mentioned above. His latest album, Heartbreak Hill, released on the Sugar Hill label in October 2003, is one not to miss. Contributing to this great album is the cream of the industry, a tribute in itself to the rare talent of a great man. Albert Lee's impeccable country music and rock pedigree stretches back over more than 40 years. He has performed with many of the greats in country and rock, including Joe Cocker, Emmylou Harris, Eric Clapton and the Everly Brothers. As well as being a top guitarist, he is also a red hot piano player and a pretty good singer too. Albert's Biography A Biography of Albert Lee ca. 65 photos, appendices, notes, bibliography, index hardcover (7 x 10) 2008 Available NOW!! Best known for his unique musical style and blindingly fast hybrid picking technique, English guitarist Albert Lee is often referred to within the music industry as the "guitar player's guitar player," renowned for his work across several genres of music and for the respect that he has garnered from other industry giants. This comprehensive biography tells the entire story of Lee's long career and personal experiences, beginning with his upbringing in south London and his early experimentations with skiffle music (the British equivalent of American rockabilly). The story continues into the 1960s, through Lee's career in Chris Farlowe's Thunderbirds and the British rock and country group Heads, Hands & Feet before covering Lee's move to the United States in the 1970s and his subsequent work with Eric Clapton, the Crickets, Emmylou Harris and the Hot Band, the Everly Brothers, and, more recently, with Bill Wyman and with Hogan's Heroes. Throughout the work, the author sets Lee's career against the background of changes in popular music and assesses how Lee, as a British artist with nomadic Romany roots, has impacted traditionally "American" musical genres. The work includes 66 photographs, many from Lee's personal collection, two appendices, and an extensive bibliography. Dave Edmunds/Albert Lee

Albert,
One of my favorite songs you play is by Hoyt Axton called "Evangelna". I love the guitar riffs on that song that you play. You give it the proper studio sound it deserves!
Hope you are doing great,
Much Respect,
The Legendary Guitarist Hank Garland Family
Hank Garland getting ready to record "Bye Bye Love' and many Everly Brothers tunes! Hank never practiced during a recording. He had already done that. He would get into that studio and do his magic! Just think what a song would be without Hank Garland's guitar riffs behind the artist!Brenda Lee told me after Hank was gone it took 5 guitar players and she told me they coul dnot come up with one lick like Hank Garland! Hank was a Genus but He worked very hard at what he did. Hank Garland was one the road at age 14 with Hank William's, Sr and Cowboy Copas & others. Hank always had a camera so we have allot of photo's from his journeys througout history. He also wrote journals every day who he was with and what they did. Also session log books from 1845 - 1961. This is a part of Music History that is so important. IT will never be repeated again. That Nashville Sound was the best. They were young and they were blessed with Talent,
