| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel includes: Albert Lee (vocals, acoustic guitar, guitar, mandolin, electric mandolin); Maura O'Connell (vocals); Buddy Emmons (steel guitar); Earl Scruggs (banjo); Vince Gill (mandolin); Brad Paisley (electric madolin); Glen D Hardin (piano); J.T. Thomas (electric piano); Spencer Campbell, Jennifer Condos (bass); John Molo (drums, shaker); Tony Newman (drums); Patty Loveless, Buddy Miller, Rodney Crowell, John David Souther (background vocals). | | Recorded at The Lair, Los Angeles, California; Sound Emporium and Scruggs Sound Studios, Nashville, Tennessee. | | Though he's far from a household name, Albert Lee has quietly earned a reputation among musicians and discerning aficionados as a guitar hero of the first order. His twangy, country-influenced licks and dazzling dexterity place him in the Mark Knopfler/Eric Clapton/Richard Thompson camp of guitarists, and, as HEARTBREAK HILL makes abundantly clear, Lee is every inch their equal. He first became known for his work with British country-rockers Head, Hands & Feet, and subsequently worked with everyone from Emmylou Harris to the Everly Brothers. Over the years, Lee's sporadic solo records have delighted those with a penchant for lightning licks that never seem flashy or overdone. HEARTBREAK HILL is something of a tribute to Lee's former employer Harris, as the songs are mostly associated with her own versions. Nevertheless, Lee--an effective singer in addition to his guitar wizardry--makes the tunes his own, from the poignant Rodney Crowell ballad "'Til I Gain Control Again" to the rocking riff-fest "Born to Run" (not the Springsteen song). |
