ALBERT LEE & HOGAN’S HEROES
World
Class guitarist Albert Lee will be previewing his forthcoming 'Like This' CD.
Produced by Albert's extraordinary keyboard player Ezio Pace, 'Like This' is
arguably one of Albert's best ever band recordings, catching him at his rocking
best.
A magnificent Grammy Award Winning guitarist/piano playing Country Rocker, Albert
Lee has finally found time to record a couple of top quality albums that reflect
his awesome ability.
His latest American release is the kind of album that finally means he can take
his place as one of the world's greatest Country Rockers in his own right.
Albert has spent the last 15 years laying his guitar down with the very best in the business. Now he's finally fulfilling his own career goals, brilliantly. As ever he brings with him a top class band including Gerry Hogan on pedal steel, Brian Hodgson on bass, and Pete Baron on drums.
Albert Lee has played with the very best artists in the business in a 40 year career. He made his Name with Heads Hands & Feet in the early 70’s before living a dual existence either side of the Atlantic, whilst playing with Eric Clapton, John Cocker, Emylou Harris, The Everly Brothers, Joe Cocker, and more latterly Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings.
Albert has been based in both L.A. and Nashville, which partly explains both his recent Grammy award for Best Instrumentalist with Nashville superstar Earl Scruggs, and his most recent “Heartbreak Hill” album which features the cream of New Country ranging from Jerry Douglas, Earl Scruggs, Rodney Crowell, and Buddy Miller to Jimmy Dale Gilmore and Vince Gill.
But it is as a virtuoso guitarist that Albert is best known being equally home as a Rocker as he is Country guitarist. His famous show stopper “Country Boy” features some of the hottest guitar playing ever recorded.

"....a band of the very best of the pop, rock and
country elite. The fact that they manage to do it all with such ease and an
abiding sense of fun never ceases to amaze me." - Neville Marten (Editor
