Interview published: 27 July 2012 (please read full interview under the above link)


Albert Lee’s
 name is well-known to guitar aficionados. During the ’60s, before becoming known for his recordings with American country and rock icons, the British guitarist spent his ‘apprenticeship’ years performing in a number of English bands. Later work in the ’70s and ’80s with Emmylou Harris, Eric Clapton, Jackson Browne and more, cemented his reputation as a premier guitar-slinger. When not recording or touring with other musicians, Lee enjoys entrancing fans with his own band, which includes J.T. Thomas on keyboards; Will MacGregor on bass; and Jason Smith on drums.  

Albert talks about moving to the United States and playing with his guitar heroes, the solos that cemented his reputation as a top tier country player, and how good it is to be playing back in California.
