For those of you already familiar with Albert Lee's playing you will notice that it just gets better and better. Take some well known songs, add a red hot band, top it off with some of the best guitar picking on this planet and you have Tear It Up. Some of Albert's licks are simply amazing, but many more are very subtle-the harder you listen the more you will discover. For those of you who are just discovering Albert Lee it won't take long to figure out why everyone else holds him in such high regard. No wonder Eric Clapton wanted him in his band.

I had never heard of Albert Lee until I read Eric Claptons autobiography.
In Clapton's own words, Albert Lee is probably the best guitar player he has ever
heard. That is an understatement. I have never been a real country music fan
and most all of Alberts music is of the country genre, but is so well executed,
I can't help but listen to it over & over. Anyone who is a guitar player fan should
have all of Alberts albums. I enjoy his album "Like This" the most, but all of them
are very good.

What can I say but I love this album. If your toes are not tapping to the music on this album and I mean every track then get someone to check your pulse because you are probably dead or at best dangerously ill. Check it out for yourself.
