Albert Lee

Albert Lee

Known to many simply as “Mr. Telecaster,” Albert Lee stands as one of the most respected guitarists in rock, rockabilly, and country music. His lightning-fast picking and unmistakable tone have made him a favorite collaborator of legends from Jerry Lee Lewis and Emmylou Harris to Eric Clapton and The Everly Brothers. A former member of The Crickets and a Grammy Award-winning solo artist, Lee’s career has spanned six decades of boundary-breaking musicianship and heartfelt storytelling.

Touring behind his newest album Lay It Down — recorded live at London’s famed Konk Studios — Lee delivers both dazzling virtuosity and soul-deep emotion. From Mark Knopfler’s fiery “Setting Me Up” to Jimmy Webb’s haunting “Too Young to Die,” Albert's latest album sees his triumphant return to the studio, recording live, as one of the greatest guitarists ever.

“The ultimate virtuoso. His skill is extraordinary, his ear is extraordinary, and he’s gifted on just about every level.” — Eric Clapton

"When Saint Peter asks me to chronicle my time down here on earth, I'll be able to say - with pride if that's allowed - that for a while I played rhythm guitar in a band with Albert Lee." - Emmylou Harris
