British Guitar legend Albert Lee, regarded by many as one of the world’s finest guitar players, with a career spanning more than 50 years, needs no introduction to Country Music, Blues and Rock fans. Widely hailed for his finger-style and hybrid picking technique, Albert Lee helped to redefine country guitar for a whole generation of players with his song "Country Boy."  Albert’s many career highlights include two Grammy wins, 5 years in the Eric Clapton band (at Clapton's request Albert recently played the Crossroads Festival with Eric at Madison Square Garden in April) and stints with the Rolling Stones' Bill Wyman, The Crickets, 25 years with the Everly Brothers, Joe Cocker, Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell and many more.  "The greatest guitarist in the world."- Eric Clapton “Albert is in every sense of the word, a genuine guitar wizard."- Earl Scruggs
