Albert Lee, by common consent one of the world's finest guitar-players, needs no introduction to Country Music & Rock fans.
He has worked with some of the world's top artists, from Emmylou Harris to the Everly Brothers, Dolly Parton to Eric Clapton. In November 2002, at Eric's request, Albert appeared at the star-studded Memorial Concert for George Harrison at London's Albert Hall, and was featured alongside Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill and Eric Clapton at Eric's 2007 and 2010 Crossroads guitar festival.
