When Eric Clapton calls you “the greatest guitar player in the world,†you know you’re on to something good. And this is exactly what he said about famed guitar slinger Albert Lee. Lee first became known during the '60s for his recordings with American rock 'n' roll icons Bo Diddley and Jerry Lee Lewis. His exemplary work in the '70s and '80s with Emmylou Harris and Clapton cemented his reputation as a premier guitar hero. Now celebrating his 70th birthday, he shows no signs of slowing down. Already on his schedule for the coming year is a massive tribute show in London, a documentary film and a new album. It’s shaping up to be another banner year for the legendary axe-slinger.
