Albert Lee - Tearing It Up (2023) [Hi-Res]

“What can one say about the sound on this disc, except to call it perfect?”

That sentence from a review on the SoundStage Network written by Rad Bennett is welcome news for one of my favorite artists. Check out the entire review at: SoundStage Experience Review

If you’re a fan of guitars, Albert Lee is a name your certain to know. He came to prominence with his first band, Heads, Hands and Feet in the 1960s. After a few albums on Capitol, Albert toured extensively with The Crickets, The Everly Brothers, Emmylou Harris and with guitar superstar Eric Clapton. When he’s not playing on the Concert For George or Crossroads, Albert fronts his own touring band, Hogan’s Heros. He has several CDs on Sugarhill records and numerous instructional videos on WB and other labels. His unique style is a continuing source of inspiration for upcoming guitarists…no matter what the style.

We recorded this project several years ago and intended to make it available as one of our Collector’s Edition titles, but abandoned that product in favor of the Blu-ray version. This disc still features a large number of bonus features but is all about the amazing playing of this unique artist. It won Record of the Month in November of 2012 in Stereophile.
