Albert Lee
b. 21 December 1943, Leominster, Herefordshire, England. Lee is a country rock guitarist of breathtaking ability. If a poll of polls were taken from leading guitarists in the field, Lee would be the likely winner. During the early 60s he was the guitarist in the R&B-influenced Chris Farlowe And The Thunderbirds. He departed in 1967, as by then offers of session work were pouring in. During that time he formed Country Fever with Jon Derek, playing straight honky-tonk country music, before working with Steve Gibbons and then recording as Poet And The One Man Band with Chas Hodges (later of Chas And Dave). The unit evolved into Heads Hands And Feet, a highly respected band, playing country rock. It was during this stage in his career that Lee became a "guitar hero"; he was able to play his Fender Telecaster at breakneck speed and emulate and outshine his American counterparts.
