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.

@markrodgers29764 жыл бұрын
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).

@@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.

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.

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.
