It's a non-stop thrill ride of rapid-fire hot licks -- but in each wild chorus, Albert manages to pull his melody line back onto the road at the last minute, for a satisfying conclusion that proves he knows exactly where he is and what he's doing the whole time. any guitarists have explored the deceptively subtle language of the Fender Telecaster, but few are as fluent or as eloquent as Albert Lee. Like Roy Buchanan or Arlen Roth he is a master of the blistering Tele lick, and like Steve Cropper or James Burton he can mold a disarmingly simple phrase into the perfect fill. He elevates rhythm guitar playing above the common crank-and-bash method to a sophisticated chord-melody style, complete with pianistic boogie bass lines and killer single-note fills. Dave Edmunds' rave-up version of "Sweet Little Lisa" on Repeat When Necessary spotlights this refined but gritty rhythm style. Albert Lee said the story behind Sweet Little Lisa was an interesting one. The writer of the song asked him to play on a demo of the song, and then asked if he could get the tape to Dave Edmunds (who he knew only slightly). So Rockpile recorded it and spent weeks on it, then Edmunds called him and said that they couldn't get the guitar part as good as the demo. So DE asked Lee to record and overdub, which he did in a couple of takes (I read elsewhere that DE patched several takes together, but Lee didn't remember that). He said his session with Rockpile was captured on a video that was made about them entitled "Born Fighters" which I don't recall hearing about...how about you? Anyway, Lee loved the mix which really put his guitar out front. I asked him if the intro was a duet or solo, he said duet with DE. ::::::BIO: Albert Lee was born on December 21, 1943, in Herefordshire, England. He grew up in Blackheath, London, where his father played English pub music on piano and accordion. At seven, Albert took up piano and studied formally for two years, delving into the classics, learning pop tunes, and coming to love rock and roll in part through the music of Jerry Lee Lewis. In about 1958 he got his hands on his first guitar, a Hofner President acoustic arch-top. Taking an immediate liking to Buddy Holly And The Crickets, he learned all he could from their records. For a time the acoustic guitar served its purpose, but soon Albert longed for an electric: "My first real guitar was a Grazioso which was the forerunner of the Hofner Futurama. I paid (Less)
