Albert Lee is much more than the "guitarist's guitarist" (though that of itself would be quite enough). He is also a true gentleman, kind, and amazing as it seems for a man who displays real genius, modest too. I really like this single and look forward to many more years of Albert Lee's music.
I first found Albert Lee when he played for the Everly Brothers. The ten years they were apart, he played and sang with one of them. TH-cam kept him alive with many fans.
Always loved this song by Greenday, liked the Glen Campbell version too, but imagine my surprise to hear my hero Albert Lee & Hogans Heroes giving it a go. Thanks Albert and the lads. Top job. Take care you guys :-)
Wow! ... I'm a guitar player who has loved Albert Lee all my life, as all guitar players do, but I've never heard him sing before. That was GREAT! He's done too much time as a Sideman, He should spend the rest of his career Front And Center. What an AMAZING Musician he is.
This is music at it's very best. Albert is the most talented musician I have ever heard. His band Hogan' s Heroes are very talented too. I feel so lucky to have discovered this fantastic music and it has given me years of pleasure. Thank- you Albert. March just can't come quick enough.
I'd never heard of this group before - came here via a link from Glenn Campbell's version of this song - but I have to say that there is an impressive amount of talent on display here!
According to Erik Clapton “I never accepted that I was the greatest guitar player in the world. In truth, Clapton couldn’t accept the slogan because he simply didn’t believe it. For him, there was someone else far more worthy: the great Albert Lee.
Just love anything Albert Lee does, first saw him in the 70s when he was in concert with the Everley Brothers, a fantastic night, been into his music ever since.
A True Artist Of The Highest Caliber!! One of a kind monster guitarist, and what a treat to hear him sing this wonderful song. God Bless You Maestro!!!!
"Good Riddance", defined as "perfect move on", is a song that tells the story of Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day vocalist), who is committed to living a better life, after breaking up with his girlfriend who moves to Equador. So actually this song is a song of heartbreak. Being denied or not, being abandoned by a lover suddenly, definitely makes our hearts upset and hurts. However, should we hold on to the pain all the time? Of course not, right? This song views that a breakup is not just a matter of heartache. Therefore, rather than dissolving in sadness, it is better to take all lessons from a breakup of love. Breakup is a test, so it all depends on how we react. Want to constantly be upset or get up and "move on" to be a better person. This song also tells us to respect time, and never waste time. Because we will not know what will happen in the future, so that we will not regret it later. This song is the most controversial song that Green Day has, but also the most unique and popular. Some people say this song is a betrayal of punk music. Green Day is considered to have lost the soul of "punk" that they have been carrying so far because of this song. But it turns out, this song is the most "punk" song that Green Day has, you know? How is it so different from the above statement? Yes, you need to know, punk music doesn't have to be loud. But, punk music is a musical expression of freedom. And that means this is the most "free" song that Green Day has. In 1998, the video clip for this song won the "MTV Video Music Award" for "Best Alternative Video". This song is always the closing at every Green Day concert. And somehow, this song is often become theme song for graduation. I really like this song. I'm sure you are too.
I remember him smashing a guitar at Manchester Apollo back in the 90s, then picking up an electro acoustic, sitting in the middle of the wrecked guitar, all alone and finishing with this number, classic !
I absolutely love this!! So happy I stumbled across this. And I love your mandolin. That's the prettiest one I've ever seen, and it sounds wonderful too.
Fuckin' astounding talent. Voice and guitar. All you hear still to this day is Hendrix, Clapton, Hendrix, Clapton, Blah blah. Even mediocre 'Slash' of G'n'R..........Guitar hero, my arse. Who'se heard of this guy ? For the most part, nobody.......even people who think they're in the know. This mans' name is not even in the finalists for the league of greats ? Scandalous and shameful. He's a far greater musical technician than Clapton, and the second fiddle isn't even passed his way. I give up. He's a pensioner in this clip, and still shines like a crazy diamond. The mans' on fire. Brilliant. Check him out riffing over JJ Cales cocaine. Never fails to start my trousers flapping, as if caught in force ten gale. I don't wear hats, but if I did it'd be removed for Albert Lee.
Shane Wright You're right. I'm not suggesting nobody's heard of this guy. I was just expressing my distaste for the constant drone of 'Know nothings' who constantly photocopy their ignorance all over the place..........Clapton, Hendrix, Page, ad infinitum, all good guitarists, but nowhere the the technical skills of Mr Lee. I think the above mentioned trio are the bleedin' obvious, but thanks to our Time Warner culture, Lee's sadly over looked for the most part. A bit like the arsewits from the late eighties who were fed the notion that Nigel Kennedy invented the violin....... He didn't, and he's passed into history......Thank Christ !
Agreed 100% I guess I meant to say he gets his praise from the people he'd feel best about getting praise from - people who know guitar, not people who know the radio
You expressed it very well with your previous comment. I just had to seal it with my assertion that Clapton was not god and Jimi Hendrix was not the best guitar player in the history of rock. Clapton, Hendrix and Page were great players.....No doubt. But there's something about stock broker types with their rack system DVD players in the Bentley or Maseratis and idiots at the office who 'Peacock' about the place shovelling their prowess of rock knowledge in the faces of the 'Thick'. Not just these types, but you know what I mean. If you mentioned Albert Lee to these tits, they wouldn't have an arsing clue what you're talking about. Sadly their lack of knowledge perpetuates the notion that real superior talent doesn't stand a chance unless it's going Platinum or Gold, while failing to realise that foot soldiers like Lee and countless others were the real reason why major hits had half a chance in the first place. Jimmy Page was another foot soldier of this genre.........The session musician extrodinaire...........not to mention John Paul Jones. But your average 'Know all' didn't and still doesn't have the foggiest notion of these people other than the time they became 'Stars' in their own right. When Page and Jones were at the forefront of Zeppelin fame, ninety percent of Zep fans at the time (And probably today) hadn't a clue of their musical pedigree. They were actually musicians with a huge repertoire of hits throughout the 60s and 70s as opposed to being simply 'Cock' rockstars in a 'Leather Balled band'. They weren't just members of a hugely successful rock band. They were masters of their craft. Albert Lee comes from this stable of sheer talent, and people who've never heard of him, have actually heard the fruits of his talent and don't realise the 'Hits' they all love and cherish were made possible by the sonic genius he brought to the studio and live performances. I could go on. But I better stop. Peace and love. Talk soon.
As a 54 yr old big Green Day fan, i was there at the beginning, and i always had a soft spot for Good Riddance, but Albert adds so much more to an already beautiful song ! I'd love to see a vid of Billie Joe alongside Albert and Hogan's Heroes singing this classic GD number, please 😊
Albert is the most underestimated guitarist out there and yet is clearly is the best of them all, I couldn't listen to Clapton Hendrix etc all night but I could Albert who can play anything and any genre of music. He's also a pretty tasteful mandolin picker.
I've always said that Albert was the best guitarist in the world, then ten years ago I saw how great a pianist He was , and now I see Him play the mandolin. Does any body want to swap a guitar for ...anything, literally anything!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA !!! ITS NOT A QUESTION BUT A LESSON LEARNED IN TIME WHICH IS WHAT I DO FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS !!!! CANT TEACH A CORPSE ANYTHING !!1 ALL OUR LOVE AND PRAYERS BRAD AND CHRISTINA

Played the green day version at my daughter’s funeral, never heard this one. Glad I did today
Sad to hear that. She was listening you heart ❤️ through this beautiful song
Sending you hugs ❤❤
Sending prayers. Glen Campbell does a good version.
Sinto muito.
Respect for your comment and I'm sad for your loss... This song has a deep meaning for that
Another great hero of our own time. From our present not our past. This man is one of us!!
This is one of the strongest vocal performances I've heard from Albert.
Of course the guitar work is awe-inspiring as always.
Albert Lee is much more than the "guitarist's guitarist" (though that of itself would be quite enough). He is also a true gentleman, kind, and amazing as it seems for a man who displays real genius, modest too. I really like this single and look forward to many more years of Albert Lee's music.
Guys like him don't come along very often... enjoy his music while he's here!
He truly is amazing
Albert is not only an amazing guitarist ! What a voice to !❤

This version sounds very similar to Glen Campbell's, minus the extended solo.
Best rockabilly guitarist, a true gentleman too. God has already blessed you, may he continue to do so.
Absolutely a true gentleman. If you have ever had the opportunity to meet and talk with Albert, he is absolutely the kindest and sweetest man.
Wow! ... I'm a guitar player who has loved Albert Lee all my life, as all guitar players do, but I've never heard him sing before. That was GREAT! He's done too much time as a Sideman, He should spend the rest of his career Front And Center. What an AMAZING Musician he is.
This is music at it's very best. Albert is the most talented musician I have ever heard. His band Hogan' s Heroes are very talented too. I feel so lucky to have discovered this fantastic music and it has given me years of pleasure. Thank- you Albert. March just can't come quick enough.
Thanks for great music
Πίος ξέρει ζει. Ο Άλμπερτ.
A masterpiece. Love ya, Albert.
Albert has a brand new solo album out - check his website at www.albertlee.co.uk.
What a Honor it would be to play music with Albert Lee !!!!
...this is what i was just thinking .....
This is the best country version of "Time of Your Life". So blues, so loose, so country, so ranchy, but still punky. Amazing cover. Bravo, magnifico.
I'd never heard of this group before - came here via a link from Glenn Campbell's version of this song - but I have to say that there is an impressive amount of talent on display here!

Great cover. Billy Joe must be proud. Nice flavor to it.
Humphrey Bogart billie...not billy...my god
Yas BILLIE JOE
i still come back and listen to this after two years. Feeling down, just throw this on. Feel good music, love it
Many things get better with age, and you are one of them Albert.. Phil (Colter) Cose
Takes on a new level of wisdom and poignancy when he sings it. Great arrangement.
Whenever you have a possibility to join Albert and Co. live on stage - do it!
Masterclass!
LOVE IT!!!!! ALBERT IS MY FAVORITE GUITARIST!!!! :)

Super Albert is our guitarist of guitarists.
Tears. What a great talent and such a beautiful person.

Albert is a truly humble personality and what a classic guitarist.

Wellput, THANK YOU, Sean Martinman !!
I knew this song would be bloody good in country when I first heard Green Day sing it. This track proves that I'm correct!

Good version ever
I've always said that Albert was the best guitarist in the world, then ten years ago I saw how great a pianist He was , and now I see Him play the mandolin. Does any body want to swap a guitar for ...anything, literally anything!!
