"I've always been lucky because I don’t have to practice": guitarist Albert Lee has spent 60 years as a professional musician and he's still going strong

.

Guitarist Albert Lee is still in the road, performing solo shows and, if called upon, with Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, but it’s his track record as a session guitarist – stretching back to the early 60s with Chris Farlowe & The Thunderbirds and then Heads, Hands & Feet, with whom he really made a name for himself – that catches the eye. 

During the 70s Lee’s fortunes changed when he joined Emmylou Harris’s Hot Band and stayed on for several years, appearing on albums of hers including Luxury Liner (1977) and Roses In The Snow (1980), and developing a reputation as one of the hottest country pickers on the block.
