Latest News (02 Dec 2014):

From Albert Lee & Hogan's Heroes:

Albert and Hogan’s Heroes have decided to take a break from touring together after the spring dates of 2015. Albert wishes to spend a little more time nearer home on the other side of the Atlantic and scale back his touring commitments here in Europe.

Watch this space regularly though for further Hogan’s Heroes projects, both solo and collective.

For the 2015 tour we are pleased to announce that we will be joined by Doña Oxford, who will be replacing Gavin Povey on keyboards. Gavin decided to step down at the end of our recent autumn tour in order to concentrate on various solo projects, so do look out for those. You will find a link to Gavin’s website by clicking on LINKS at the top of this page. While we will miss Gavin’s incredible skills as a player, singer and producer, we are excited at the prospect of touring with Doña.

Doña too, is a truly great keyboard player and vocalist. Check out her credits on the BAND link above or by scrolling further down.


We are also glad to announce that the band will be joined by Chris Palmer on bass guitar for the forthcoming tour. You will learn a little more about Chris by clicking on the BAND link above.

We look forward to seeing you all in 2015.

Albert Lee - New Solo Album 'HIGHWAYMAN' Out - December 2014

“Highwayman” features 12 honest and unapologetic renditions of some of Albert’s all-time favourite tracks - recorded live and captured in a moment of true inspiration - and truly represents, to quote the man himself, “the album I’d always wanted to record”. This is Albert Lee as close and personal as you are ever likely to hear.

Although the official release date for the album is 21st December (Albert's 71st birthday), if you order by Friday 19th December we will send out before the weekend, giving you the best chance to receive the album before Christmas Day (though unfortunately we cannot guarantee this). Please note that this applies to UK residents only - delivery to the rest of the world will take longer.

Mike Sanchez - Great News: New album out soon featuring Albert Lee

 

Message from Mike 02 Oct 2014:
"It's high time I started letting everyone know that I will soon have a fabulous new album to release featuring Grammy award winning country rock guitar legend Albert Lee.

This album is mostly original songs with a selection of good rockin' covers. It was a project recorded back in 2003 around the same time that we recorded Almost Grown featuring Imelda May and done at the same legendary studio Sweet Georgia Brown in London where our buddies Mick Wigfall and Ryan Sim-Savage had engineered some of the best bands of the times. I was nearing the end of my 4 years of touring with Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings and whilst Albert was in London I invited him to perform on what I feel are some of the best songs I have ever written.
The band is simply my good buddies Mark Morgan on drums, Al Palooka on bass with my fellow Rhythm King buddy the great Albert Lee on guitar and myself on vocals, acoustic guitar, etc. 

I'm very proud and most excited because I am just one of only several people in this world who have even heard these tracks and so I wish to leave them soon in your hands so you can judge for yourself if this album is a success. 
Mmm.. now I'm REALLY excited!!! So, if you're a Mike Sanchez or an Albert Lee fan, then good looking, you're gonna like what's cookin'!
PLEASE START SPREADING THE WORD! I'll be back with more info soon!!
Nanite and love to all. I'm up early to take my wife and baby across Europe to possibly somewhere a little more rainy. xx"
Please spread the word and share to support this excellent musician.

Product Description

Frettening Behaviour is the latest studio album by guitar legend Albert Lee and his UK-based band Hogan s Heroes. It brings together some fine and diverse material and features five songs penned by members of the band. Released under the band s own Heroic Records imprint and also including a number of gems written by the likes of Jim Lauderdale, Rodney Crowell, Gerry Goffin and Glen Campbell, the set runs the musical gamut, as one might expect from this most eclectic of acts. 
The album opens with the Green Day classic 'Good Riddance' and is followed by Paul Kennerly s retro rocker 'Spellbound' Then comes 'No One Can Make My Sunshine Smile' a cover of an Everly Brothers single form the 60's. These are followed by 'Oh Marie' penned by band members Gavin Povey and Brian Hodgson and 'The King Of Broken Hearts' which features Peter Baron on lead vocal. Peter takes the lead vocal slot again on the Brian Hodgson / Ray Peters songs 'Showdown' and 'You Know You Just Might'. 
Gavin Povey is the featured vocalist on his own compositions 'Big Town Girl', 'When Elvis Broke The News' and 'Looks Like Love'. Albert is the lead vocalist on all the other tracks, which include the evergreen 'My Window Faces The South', Rodney Crowell s beautiful 'A Song For The Life', Richie Havens 'Dreaming As One' and Glen Campbell s poignant 'A Better Place' The cover artwork will be recognisable to many as that of Klaus Voormann, known of course for The Beatles 'Revolver' and 'Anthology' album covers. 
Check the album credits for a list of some very special guests who have contributed to this album and you will be in no doubt as to its quality. 'Frettening Behaviour' offers a bumper helping of Albert Lee & Hogan s Heroes distinctive blend of R&R, R&B and country, which reflects where the band is at musically as it moves into 2014. It will surely delight all their faithful followers, as well as hopefully turning on many less committed listeners to the unsung Heroes in their midst.
