Welcome to my dreams here! ~ Albert Lee

As Artistic Director of the Vancouver Island MusicFest, I get to dream up collaborations like these for what will hopefully become on-ce-in-a-lifetime musical experiences. This one worked. Its truly rock and roll heaven, right here on Earth where there is indeed, a hell of a band! The Heroes came together a day early to rehearse at the Cumberland Hotel in our little one-horse town. The mutual respect among them was apparent as they set up for rehearsal. Guitar geekisms filled the room. I remember standing out on our main street, thinking how surreal it was to have James Burton, Albert Lee, Amos Garrett and David Wilcox in our local watering hole in the mi-

ddle of the day swapping licks. It was like a gunslingers gathering in an old saloon; one where all the survivors got together to enjoy each others company like only survivors can. High-test, take no prisoners, expect no mercy, guitar slinging at its best. Oh, mama! Its fair to say, each of these masters of the Telecaster has earned a solid place in modern music history. James Burton, with his trademark chicken pickin style, has crea-ted one of the most influential styles in country music and rock and roll. His playing has become a well of inspiration for many players, including the other mu-sicians on this recording. Albert Lee took influence from James style and made it his own, with tone to die for. To quote his buddy Eric Clapton, Albert plays like a jazz musi-cian, but with country scales; like Django, but

with a bluegrass past. Amos Garrett, known as the inventor of multiple string bending on the guitar, is one of the most well versed players in the business with a history steeped in blues, country and jazz. His jaw-dropping individuality on the guitar never fails to stop other guitar players in their tracks and move audiences to their feet. And iconic guitarist David Wilcox, who is perhaps one of Canadas best kept secrets, has influenced a generation of Northern pickers with his funky rhythms, quirky surprise licks and searing slide guitar that identify him as one of our countries most unique players. There are moments of deep musical inspiration on these grooves. The kind that only happens when the music becomes bigger than the individual players. All egos were put aside, nothing to prove, no young, nervous

energy, just veterans digging in with musical colleagues in the truest sense. They each trust lady music like only mature players can. Its worth pointing out that this is an off-the-board live recording. No overdubs. No fixing anything. No edits. Note how each of these players left lots of room for the others. Big ears BIG ears. Its the kind of gathering players and listeners alike search for. Thank goodness we recorded the show, although at first it was just to be a souvenir for the players. Once we heard the results we knew it had to be shared with the world. This is pure, passionate music.
