Now sooner or
later it's slowly getting difficult for me. Because as often I've written
about this artist on this website before, I honestly don't know anymore
what else to write. On the other hand this exeptional musician has truly
deserved and still does deserve a lot of press and promotion. That's why
I can only repeat myself from my
last
– and the one before the last Review
that Albert Lee honestly
belongs to the best and fastest guitarist on this planet. And it's not
only me saying this, but many other's as well in the music media
including his no1 song 'Country Boy'.

Just to get a small over
look once again, the 67 year old English man, who lives for more than 30
years in the USA, has worked with so many artists in the past next to
his solo carriere. Just to name a few:
Eric Clapton, Bo Diddley, Emmilou Harris,
Dolly Parton, Billy Wyman or
Jackson Browne. And there is almost no award in the world, he didn't
receive yet, including the grammy. But Albert still goes for
undertstatement. And when he's not with one of all these just named or
other artists on tour, then he's not heading out for a vacation, but
rather tours with his own band Hogan's Heroes. Because only with those,
he can really play and do what he personally likes most. Often mistaken
with Alving Lee of Ten Years After, who earned quite a few credits in
the past, instead of Albert, who'd played or written this or those lines.
That's why you've gotta be rather careful and watch out about the true
credits. It's also a fact, that Albert Lee is very faithful to us here
in Munich and keeps returning on a regular base every single year to the Rattlesnake
Saloon always two
nights after each other.

This time his visit has
just been pushed a bit forward for about 3 months. And so tonight there
is no freezing and ice and snow, while driving to Munich's very north.
But instead it's raining like hell, and that's not so nice either. But
Munich's no. 1 Country Bar
is really crowded both days - like always. And as Saloon head of service
Gabi says: it's mostly the same people, who keep returning every new
year - like myself.
The band plays 2 sets, each one for about 60 minutes. And the show is
once again a travel in time back to the past with tons of songs by the
Everly Brothers, Bo Diddley and and and...
