Keep in mind that this man is 74(!!!) at the time of this performance. Just incredible

[@robguitarwizard]

He used to be even younger!

[@sueadt8421]

He’s an phenomenal guitarist & singer!!! Go Albert!! 🥰❤️🌈💕

[@michaelrowbotham2169]

Fantastic person and one of the best musicians out there.

[@obscurebandfan]

He's obviously a virtuosic guitar player but he also has a lovely voice. Legitimately pleasant tone.

[@valtermartinelli7516]

Confermo tutto sulla tua affermazione in oltre rincaro la dose se posso sottolineare che generazioni di musicisti così intuitivi e creativi sul tema musicale e strumentale erano assolutamente unici próprio per la loro versatilità artistica di sapere interpretare quasi tutti i generi musicali . Grazie Albert resterai per sempre nel firmamento musicale fra i più grandi musicisti di tutti i tempi. 😅 continua così e non tramonterai mai. Grandeeeee !!!!!

[@musiclover9361]

I've actually lost count of the number of times I've seen Albert perform live. It's somewhere between 12 and 15, if memory serves. He once signed a cassette tape cover of mine (cassette tape cover; that's old!) during a masterclass he delivered supporting the album 'Gagged But Not Bound' and he's the sweetest, most unassuming virtuoso I've ever encountered. Zero ego and a complete gentleman.

[@howardblasingame7961]

All true

[@denisehoward177]

Good hearing your story..I only saw him THIS YEAR, 1st time..only because I didn't get familiar w/him before this! I hope to see him again.. & the band..quality!

Blessedness! Never got the chance. I did see Steve Marriott 5-6 times in small venues. Two great blues rockers!

[@user-gw9yr1wu4d]

Yes, I met him once, and he's a very pleasant man. I sure like the idea of that Masterclass ! His solo show was incredible and I saw him twice with The Everly Brothers !!

Saw him tonight in Halifax. Still mighty quick, but so stylish and musical. Humility and class coming from every pore.

[@mikebunyak1910]

Having discovered Albert only by chance about four years ago, when I saw him in concert, I'm so grateful that I did. Albert was able, willing and able to rock and roll all night. He was awesome, and still is. Peace. Out.

[@WilliamsDad1989]

To you I will also suggest checking out the 1970 album Green Bullfrog - Albert Lee, Big Jim Sullivan & Ritchie Blackmore.

[@frankzappa951]

That sig guitar is really something. Great musician is Albert.

[@tonykehoe123]

I always had Albert down as a session / backing musician . Didn’t realise how as a singer and performer his style seems so effortless yet top draw . Only wish I possessed an ounce of his talent and humility. Count me IN . Great band by the way !

Albert Lee is a Brit. who has lived in the U.S for more than 40 years, and is one of the Worlds best "chicken pick'n" country guitarists.

[@johnwelch557]

The busiest player ever. Truly nice guy. Plays master class piano too.

[@WildPhotoShooter]

I saw Albert in Carlisle about 20 years ago when he was with Hogans heroes, and about four years ago when he toured with this band at The Old Fire Station in Carlisle, (Probably part of this tour) Ollie Sears on drums had just joined them. There is no better country / rock guitarist on planet earth.

[@chrisneale667]

Saw him at the Sands backing the Everly Bros

[@WildPhotoShooter]

@@chrisneale667 yeah I was there at the Sands venue too......The legendary Buddy Emmons was with them on Pedal steel guitar. Duane Eddy was also touring with them . Great line up.

[@mikepratt6455]

I have seen Albert Lee 2 dozen times. That is the most accomplished version of Country Boy I have heard. JT Thomas makes it.

[@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522]

That's not Country Boy, it's I'm Ready, a Fats Domino number, dude! And if I didn't get the joke... there wasn't one.

[@carposaurioinsoluble1003]

What a great guitarrist and master is Albert !!!! Beautiful things !!!!!

[@danabbott2965]

My wife and I saw Albert Lee in a small venue in Portland Maine last week. He is in deed a player's player. J.T. Thomas, who plays here, was also sensational on keyboards. A humble virtuoso, who was also funny, entertaining, and held nothing back even though the full-house was 120 people max. If you get a chance to see this guy, go. You'll leave happy ... and singing.

[@jmack619]

yes, camera people, and or editors appear to know less than nothing about music. can't even show two hands on a solo. Been going on for decades, hendrix etc. wonder if there are old reels of the music stored somewhere? They do have that attention deficit disorder of 1-4 seconds max.

[@1azow]

Pan Albert Lee to niezwykle skromna i ciepła Osoba. Nie ma parcia na "szkło" jak to widzimy u wielu innych "gwiazd". Kiedy występuje w towarzystwie innych Wielkich, nigdy nie stara się zdominować granego utworu, a wręcz przeciwnie, usuwa się dyskretnie na dalszy plan po fenomenalnym zagraniu swojej partii. Polscy "wirtuozi" bierzcie przykład.

How does he still do it ? I think he's actually better now than what he was 25 years ago , he doesn't play quite as lightning fast as he did 25 years ago but he never plays the same thing twice , listen to him play on the advanced country guitar and advanced virtuoso techniques session , that was rediculously fast accurate music picking , Albert isolating better than ever in 2018 ,

[@JPVanderbuilt]

Notice how Albert Lee does not anchor his pinky.

[@zootsoot2006]

Is this rock 'n roll playing or country? I'm genuinely interested to know the difference. Can anyone help?

[@markrodgers2976]

Basically, it's both. Country and early Rock & Roll developed simultaneously, and from many of the same influences, and Albert Lee has roots in both styles, and it's reflected in his playing. He's long been a Nashville (i.e. "country") session ace, as well as having worked with numerous rock acts (Clapton, John Fogerty, etc.). This could be termed "Country-Rock", which is an actual musical genre (though it can also span a wide range of styles).

[@zootsoot2006]

@@markrodgers2976 Thanks! That's what I was thinking but it's almost heresy nowadays to say that rock 'n roll came out of country and not blues/rhythm and blues. But clearly whereas the blues uses the minor pentatonic, country and rock and roll uses the major. Country -> Rockabilly -> Rock n roll -> Rock/Pop.

[@sueadt8421]

@@zootsoot2006 Albert started playing listening to the early Rock & Roll, but he also loved some of the early country (George Jones & Buck Owens)…so I think he does a little of Rockabilly, Rock & Roll, Blues & Country - sort of like the Everly Brothers!!! 🥰❤️🌺😊

[@mlwsf]

@@John-ob7dh the rest of us would be rather presumptuous if we called Richard Thompson Richie. How many other people, guitar players in particular, would feel comfortable doing that?

[@goodun2974]

Mark wilkins, Albert does actually say Richard Thompson, not "Ritchie", if you listen closely. However, he flubbed the lyrics a little bit, it's supposed to go "well I like coffee and I like tea/ but I just don't like this *affinity*. Not " fiddly-dee" as Albert sang it. It was a serviceable version, but definitely not as fiery as when Richard does it. BTW, my wife and I saw Albert play with this same band a couple of years ago.

[@daf827]

@@goodun2974 Albert doesn’t sing the lyric word-for-word the way RT did on the “Hand of Kindness” record. However, Richard does sing “fiddle-dee-dee” on the album. These days, RT sings “I like coffee and I like tea/but I just don’t like what you’re doin’ to me.”

[@goodun2974]

By the way, it occurred to me to wonder if Richard, as a Sufi Muslim, even drinks coffee or tea, as they are generally considered to be psychoactive substances. I looked it up, and surprise surprise, historically the drinking of coffee originated with Sufi Muslim monks. Whether Richard actually drinks them is another matter (I am sitting here with a cuppa joe as I write this). Even at his current age, his voice is as deep, resonant and powerful as it has ever been, and so I wonder if he avoids drinking anything that might affect it.

[@chrismarx4505]

I don't like the bass player too much - think he leaves the pushing too much on Drums and on Albert. They can only do with him.
