Albert received a Grammy Award in 2002 for his contribution to “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” featured on “Earl Scruggs and Friends”, and won a Grammy for his performance on Brad Paisley’s instrumental “Cluster Pluck” in 2009. Lauded for his unparalleled picking style and versatility, Albert was joined by a massive list of over 50 special guests at his 70th Birthday Celebration concerts at Cadogan Hall in 2014, including Bill Wyman, Shakin' Stevens, Chas & Dave, Gary Brooker, The Shadows and Ralph McTell (now available as a digital download). In 2024, Albert celebrated his 80th birthday - again at Cadogan Hall with another huge line up of his favourite musician friends. Albert received the Trailblazer Award in 2017 at the Americana Awards - accepted on his behalf by his great friend Andy Fairweather Low. “Highwayman”, Albert's highly-acclaimed solo album, is a 12-track collection of acoustic covers. Recorded live and captured in a moment of true inspiration, this raw and emotional record pays tribute to many of Albert’s musical influences - the classic rock ’n’ roll of the Everly Brothers’ “Bye Bye Love”, the deep feeling of Rodney Crowell’s ballad “Till I Can Gain Control Again”, and the centrepiece of the album in Jimmy Webb’s “The Highwayman” - a powerful and dramatic, and most probably definitive, version of a true musical masterpiece. “Gypsy Man” is Alberts next solo album featuring his favourite Buddy Holly songs - a musician Albert has always held in high regard. In 2024 Albert recorded his latest album, “Lay it Down” at the legendary Konk Studios. This is a mixture of tracks that Albert has wanted to do for some time and is getting rave reviews. All the albums are available through his on-line shop at albertleeofficial.com. 

Just a few musical quotes ...

Eric Clapton “Great musicians make you want to dance, make you cry and make you fall in love - Albert does that with his playing.” 

Jools Holland “There are great players, and there are geniuses, and Albert is a genius.”
