Best known for his unique musical style and blindingly fast hybrid
picking technique, English guitarist Albert Lee is often referred
to within the music industry as the "guitar player's guitar
player," renowned for his work across several genres of music and
for the respect that he has garnered from other industry giants.
This comprehensive biography tells the entire story of Lee's long
career and personal experiences, beginning with his upbringing in
south London and his early experimentations with skiffle music (the
British equivalent of American rockabilly). It covers Lee's career
in Chris Farlowe's Thunderbirds and the British rock and country
group Heads, Hands, and Feet, his move to the United States in the
1970s and his subsequent work with Eric Clapton, the Crickets,
Emmylou Harris and the Hot Band, the Everly Brothers, and, more
recently, with Bill Wyman and with Hogan's Heroes. Lee's career is
set against the background of changes in popular music and shows
how he, as a British artist with nomadic Romany roots, has
influenced traditionally "American" musical genres. The work
includes 66 photographs, many from Lee's personal collection, two
appendices, and an extensive bibliography.
