Albert Lee's Country Boy

[yorick]

Has anyone got a studio version of this, preferably by Albert Lee? I've got to learn it and don't want to buy an album.

If you could e-mail it to me, i'll PM my e-mail addy..


Cheers

I've got it on a CD, but I'll have to get my kids to show me how to email sound files!
Cracking track - I hope your guitarist is hotter than a hot thing though!

[yorick]

Oh he is.....

Is that the Dave Bartholomew song?

'I'm a little Country Boy, running wild in this big old town (x2)
Yes, all the girls love me, 'cause they know what I'm putting down.'

I want to slip this one into our set sometime next year...

Had a look on youtube, but can only find live versions. Only got a laptop and sometimes the bass isn't very clear.

If you are still struggling at a later date I'm sure I can get you a copy.

Slightly OT but I saw Albert Lee last night with Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings at a local gig (I try to see them every year they come down). He is a star of the highest order - superlative guitar player and excellent (if somewhat unique) singer.

MP3 of it covered by Luca Oliveri (from Amazon

Worth 69p to find out if it gives you what you want ?

Oh right. Yes, that one. Totally different. Dig out the Dave Bartholomew track if you can, beautiful lazy New Orleans groove.

Useless "Country Boy" fact: the original bassist was Chas Hodges who went on to be the Chas of Chas & Dave.

Chas and Albert were old mates having played together in Head Hands & Feet. (Albert wrote Country boy with HH&F singer Tony Colton).
Mind you, I've always liked the Ricky Skaggs version equally as much as Albert's.

Yorick - here's Skaggs' recorded version. Skaggs plays acoustic guitar. Might help -- or not!
Either way, this is smokin'!
