Hiding/Albert Lee
May 7, 2004

Product Description
British guitarist ALBERT LEE has been delighting music fanatics with his virtuoso playing and astonishing technique for more than 30 years. Having backed the likes of Joe Cocker, Emmylou Harris, Eric Clapton and the Everly Brothers, his reputation as a sideman par excellence is beyond reproach. He continues to tour with his own band Hogan’s Heroes as well as Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings.

With the intention of focusing on his lesser-known solo career, Raven has brought together two fine Lee albums on the one CD for the first time.

Produced by Brian Ahern, his 1979 debut, Hiding, showcases his consummate country/rockabilly picking styles, while 1982’s Albert Lee (produced by Rodney Crowell) displays a more rock-oriented edge. With instrumental and vocal backing provided by Emmylou Harris, Emory Gordy, Hank Devito, Buddy Emmons, Vince Gill, Billy Payne and others, these dynamic and playful recordings are essential listening for guitar and country/roots music aficionados alike.

Speechless/Gagged But Not Bound
September 16, 2008

Product Description
Raven presents two essential ALBERT LEE solo albums on the one CD for the first time – Speechless (1987) and Gagged But Not Bound (1988). The British-born guitarist has been delighting music fanatics with his virtuoso playing and astonishing technique for over 40 years. Having backed the likes of Joe Cocker, Emmylou Harris, Eric Clapton and the Everly Brothers, his reputation as a sideman par excellence and in-demand session guitarist is beyond reproach. In recent years he’s toured with his own band Hogan’s Heroes as well as Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings. Focusing on his lesser-known solo career, these two exquisite albums display Lee at his finger-pickin’ best on a rousing series of rootsy country-rock and traditional-oriented instrumentals.

Speechless combines self-penned tunes ‘T-Bird to Vegas’, ‘Bullish Boogie’ and ‘Seventeenth Summer’ with covers of Duane Eddy’s ‘Cannonball’ and the traditional ‘Arkansas Traveller’. It’s a very clean sound featuring Lee on acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin and piano. Gagged But Not Bound features consummate country / rockabilly covers of Chet Atkins’ ‘Country Gentleman’, ‘Walkin’ After Midnight’, ‘Tiger Rag’, ‘Forty Miles of Bad Road’ and the traditional tunes ‘Flowers of Edinburgh’ and ‘Midnight Special’.
