Albert Lee, born on December 21, 1943, in Lingen, Herefordshire, England, stands among the elite in the world of guitarists, revered not just for his lightning-speed picking and deep understanding of the instrument, but also for his humble, supportive role alongside some of the biggest names in music. Lee's career, spanning over several decades, showcases his exceptional versatility across genres, primarily rock, country, and rockabilly. He has been a sideman to the stars, lending his formidable guitar skills to music legends such as Eric Clapton, Emmylou Harris, and The Everly Brothers, among others.

Lee's discography as a solo artist, highlighted by releases such as "Gagged But Not Bound," "Heartbreak Hill," and "Road Runner," offers a clear display of his extraordinarily refined guitar technique and his ability to blend influences into a distinct sound that’s both innovative and deeply respectful of tradition. Known for his signature Ernie Ball Music Man guitar, Lee has not only won the Guitar Player magazine's Best Country Guitarist but also influenced countless guitarists around the globe. His live performances, including notable ones like "LIVE at the Prince of Wales Hotel 1988," capture the electric energy and precision Lee brings to the stage, making him a revered figure in the music community and beyond.
