About this album

Gagged But Not Bound shows Albert Lee at his most fluent, blending country rock, blues and hot-shod instrumental dexterity into a concise solo statement. Released in 1987, the album draws on Lee’s deep roots in British rock, country and session work, putting his celebrated guitar technique front and centre without losing the easy swing that made him such a respected musician. Built around standards, roots tunes and spirited arrangements, it highlights his melodic touch as well as his speed, with performances that nod to fiddle tunes, rockabilly and American country traditions. It is a sharp showcase for one of the era’s great guitar stylists.
