I have had the pleasure of hanging out with Albert Lee. My dad and him were band mates, and friends. I first met Albert while he played with Emmylou Harris & The Hot Band. He's so fun. Very intelligent, and a gentleman. He has a massive collection of comedy. The very BEST of English humour! He, and his gorgeous lovely wife, Karen lived in Malib-de bum bum. I miss those days. No one plays guitar like, Mr. Albert Lee. ❤️💥❤️
Thanks for sharing! I first heard of Albert during his time with the Crickets!! The album ‘A long Way From Lubbock’ should have reached the tops!! There is no justice! Like Sonny Curtis Albert is one of the most underrated musicians of this century! By that I mean they should have been given more coverage over the years on MSM! Because, I feel, they are special, beautiful well respected artists, they don’t make news!.. love ya Albert, you’re special mate 👍👍
Lovingly rendered. The keyboard work makes this version all the more haunting and ethereal. Hats off to Albert Lee and to Wayne Lee as well. Holly's music will live on.
Wow! I haven't heard that name for over 50 years. ( The Half Moon pub in Putney) I saw Heads, Hands and Feet there . Great gig, as was John Martyn. Wow, great memories.
I played a morning and evening show where he was on the bill. I had no idea who he was until I got home and looked him up on the computer. Nine Time Country Guitarist then. And he was all that.
Saw Mr Lee just last week. 1/7/22 Only 3 months after this show and he had an entirely different band with him They were great Albert Lee was great. 78 and he is singing and playing like a 30 year old.
I saw Albert at a small village hall venue in Teeesdale . Absolute magic, played well past the finishing time . Seemed to enjoy playing ,&a very good singer also . Excellent showman ,rock on Albert ,thanks appreciated by the whole audience.
Buddy Holly invented the completely self contained rock band no wonder he's still remembered especially by such greats as Albert Lee. He played lots of times for the Everly Bros I saw him during their last gig in Newcastle and they knew Buddy Holly - even played with his band. I wonder if they swopped stories? I notice he, despite being a virtuoso, used a capo on this song - to get the right feel as Holly did it that way. People don't realize just how good Albert Lee is but I think he's probably happy to have this workman like attitude to playing and forego the perils of being mobbed in the street etc.
Saw Albert Lee live with Ry Cooder and Eric Clapton in 1982-3. The Money & Cigarettes tour. Albert Lee is an amazing multi dimensional lead guitarist. Starting with Emmy Lou Harris and the "Hot Band," later sharing stages with Steve Morse. I'll never forget Long Beach Arena in 1982-3 winter show. He traded lead solos with both Clapton and Cooder effortlessly. In fact, while Clapton's blues solos stood out and Cooders slide playing were stellar. It was Albert Lees rock guitar solos that just were incredible. All the heavy hits of Clapton's tunes from Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney and Bonnie, Derek and The Dominos were just hit out of the park when Albert spared into epic Rock solos. Only Peter Frampton reminds me of just how melodic and beautiful major and minor shifting solos can be played. Albert's technique is utterly unique in the pure rock solo department. And I date say having seen it in one night covering the aforementioned Clapton classics....? Very unfrequently, if at all, have I ever seen him repeat that sort of playing ever since. 45 years after seeing him with Emily Lou Harris which in itself was ultra killer country Cowboy Folk Jazz lap steel chicken picking heaven with Emmy Lou Harris and the Hot Band in the late 1970's.

Albert is not just a master guitarist he is a true gentleman through and through
Albert Lee the most virtuoso guitarist of this generation. Personal humility. Big hug from the Brazilian people.

never seen a man work so hard all his life on that guitar
The great Albert Lee. What a lucky audience to see this star in such an intimate setting.
Wish I'd been there.
A true guitar legend ... and he earned it.
I really like Albert’s voice. His guitar skills are of course a given!
Got to see him with the Everly Bros. In 2001 awesome show!
Show! Great Albert Lee!
Albert makes his guitar mastery look so easy. I lived in London in 1977. I lived in Fulham just up the road from Putney.
Sublime ❤
Love Albert’s guitar work. Little wonder he’s been in such demand over the last five or six decades 😎
Lovingly rendered. The keyboard work makes this version all the more haunting and ethereal. Hats off to Albert Lee and to Wayne Lee as well. Holly's music will live on.
my hero..seen him live and at his workshops back in the day....true legend
So sweet. Just love this.
Well done, Albert! I'm proud to have met you twice in my home town Dortmund in Germany. Rock on, mate!
Wow! I haven't heard that name for over 50 years. ( The Half Moon pub in Putney) I saw Heads, Hands and Feet there . Great gig, as was John Martyn. Wow, great memories.
Mr Lee has special talent on guitar;
A true musician
Great stuff. Had the pleasure of seeing Albert play Shanklin Theatre on September 21st. He singed cd which we lost from the car somewhere boo hoo...
Buddy Holly would be proud of this.
Can't think why. Listen to the original.
My choice is Blind faith, s
Albert Lee unexpectedly discovered your music really mesmarized with your lovely and a worthy melodious music with immense pleasure dear.
- I have been here! Some two-three years ago or so.
Thanks, great!
Legend!
I played a morning and evening show where he was on the bill. I had no idea who he was until I got home and looked him up on the computer. Nine Time Country Guitarist then. And he was all that.
Still my local music pub, seen many greats there including Albert and Steve Marriott.
Like 491. Very nice cover of a great Holly song!
Subbed!

Total old guy brainfart moment: Ten Years After guy isn't dead? I thought he was dead! Yay! ... Oops ... Sorry, Mr. Lee. Oh well ...
that was Alvin Lee, different guy
Those light strings don't hold the tuning, especially with a capo.
Hence, he did tune his guitar. So?
.
He needs to sort his hair out, but a great artist
And perhaps some rouge on his cheeks?
@@Smudgie lol
A man bun perhaps? :-)
@@gavind9487 He's had a similar hairstyle for the last 50-odd years! Don't think he's going to change it now.
