"What can one say about the sound on this disc, except to call it perfect?" That sentence from a review on the SoundStage Network written by Rad Bennett is welcome news for one of my favorite artists.

If you're a fan of guitars, Albert Lee is a name your certain to know. He came to prominence with his first band, Heads, Hands and Feet in the 1960s.
After a few albums on Capitol, Albert toured extensively with The Crickets, The Everly Brothers, Emmylou Harris and with guitar superstar Eric Clapton.
When he's not playing on the Concert For George or Crossroads, Albert fronts his own touring band, Hogan's Heros.
He has several CDs on Sugarhill records and numerous instructional videos on WB and other labels. His unique style is a continuing source of inspiration for upcoming guitarists…no matter what the style. We recorded this project several years ago and intended to make it available as one of our Collector's Edition titles, which is still in the works.
However, with the interest in Blu-ray music titles, we're going to make this available as a Blu-ray disc to feature both the HD-Audio and HD-Video. The CE version is still in the works and will have an extensive bonus section with family photos, additional videos and interviews.
The Blu-ray version has some bonus features but is essentially a private performance disc. The technology of recording in real-surround HD-Audio coupled with the capability of the blu-ray format to deliver HD-Video brings the intimacy of the performance into your own personal listening space.
Watch it with the video or simply sit back and revel in the music as it is passed between members of the group. This disc was shot using HD video equipment and is compatible with all blu-ray players. However, the HD-Audio, which is encoded in Dolby TrueHD cannot be played back on a Sony PS3. The legacy audio will play instead.

Stunning audio quality with several available tracks. Albert and band
are smoking hot. If you like rockabilly and country guitar, you'll want
this disc.
Don't miss the hour or so of bonus content where Albert talks about his amazing career, his guitars and how he learned to play. Also includes several sets of stereo audio files you can copy off the disc, MP3 and high-res FLAC of every tune.

I experienced a preview of this Blu-ray disc at a recent audiophile
show and all I can say is wow! Albert sings and plays his favorite
country tunes including his signature tunes "Country Boy" and "Luxury
Liner" with a great backup band. The whole thing is presented in
HD ... including the two 5.1 surround music mixes. In a good home theater
this is as close to having a private concert as it gets. Highly
recommended.
