great post - -not to start a clapton thread, but the disraeli gears album is pure Albert Lee knockoff; when i discovered that years ago, i was stunned at how much it was the case - especially since i had never heard any rock stars talking about albert lee, but there it was, clear as a mimicked bird call, on a hit album.

One of the girls came up to me after class, kind of stunned that a musical ignoramus could play. She asked me how I knew what to play. (I had played this neat little Wes Montomgery run at one point and it was kind of funny, this one girl on the piano stopped playing and turned around to look at me with her jaw dropped open). I told her that I had recorded that section of the Wes phrase at home and played it over and over against the recording until I got it.

do you recall which Wes run it was - album, tune? it would be entertaining to check it out.

Do you really mean Albert Lee? Or are you referencing Albert King? Albert
Lee played with Eric and tore it up when I saw them play together. He is
a great picker and I don't think Eric can really hang with him in Albert
Lee's bag.
I saw Howling Wolf, Albert King, Luther Allison and a couple others for
$3 at a concert in Milwaukee. Talk about great bang for the buck!

Albert Lee or Albert King? I hear Albert King all over the place in Cream's music, particularly in "Strange Brew" (or "Lawdy Mama", which ever you prefer. Same tune, different lyrics). I'm not of Albert Lee from that time period. Albert Lee, of course, toured with Clapton for years and is featured the "Just One Night" album, as well as "Money And Cigarettes". And not to be confused with Alvin Lee.
