I saw Albert Lee too two years ago in New York.  I remember him in a band called Heads Hands & Feet in the early seventies with a certain Charlie (Chas of Chas & Dave) Hodges as a very capable singer, bass and fiddle player.
Lee drifted off into session work in Los Angeles before Emmylou Harris grabbed him to replace James Burton.  That was Emmylou's best Hot Band in my view.  He also played with Eric Clapton for a number of years in the late seventies.  The Tokyo live album is one of my favourites of Clapton's works.
He started with Cliff Farlowe & The Thunderbirds  and played a wonderfully original solo on Stormy Monday Blues in 1964 (?) (under the alias Little Joe Cook). 

Years ahead of his time.  Just not mainstream enough I suppose, but many people rate this as the finest blues song produced in England.  And that's country blues for you.

It's a well known fact that, as well as needing a Fulham player in the team, England only win the World Cup in weeks when Chris Farlowe (with Albert Lee on guitar) has a Number One hit record. Never failed so far.
