This is a friend of mine named Andy Green, we used to have an Albert Lee tribute band when I was in the UK.

He's got some of the licks down, but lacks Albert's uncanny sense of 'time'; he sounds like he's rushing a bit.

Good effort, though.

[Steve Becker]

Sounds to me like he needs to find a band that can keep up with him! WOW!!

[Jamie Lennon]

His a great player, better with a live band though !!!

[Ken Lang]

He's got the tools, but the band (and him) come in at a different spot almost every time after the break. It is not a song you can tap your foot to.
Listen to Albert do it. A big difference.

Never the less, what a picker.

[Roger Rettig]

Well, he's clearly put some work in on his chops, but it sounds like he's ignored the most important fundamental - time. He and the band are all over the place (as Ken said).

Steve says that he needs a band that can keep up with him - I think he needs a band that can figure out his tempo fluctuations, and even then you'd have a hard time tapping your foot to it.

Albert's time is impeccable - remarkable, actually. Listen to anything he does and you're never in doubt about where '1' is. I've been watching and listening to him since about 1962 (and even played with him a few times); I always noticed how he kept time tapping the heel or toe of either foot as he played. I've never asked him, but I wonder if that's a habit ingrained from his earliest learning process. All I know is - you can take Albert's tempo to the bank!

This chap can play, but has a long way to go before he's in Mr Lee's class.

its not a full band there. Him another guy on Rhythm guitar and drum machine and bass on pedals.

When he had the band it was so tight....
