EverydayJimmy Page, guitar - Albert Lee, guitar - John Paul Jones, bass -Nicky Hopkins, piano - Keith De Groot, vocals - Jim Sullivan, guitar- Chris Hughes, Tenor Sax - Clem Cattini, drumsBefore the name Jimmy Page became synonymous with Led Zeppelin and Hard Rock guitar, the guitarist was a much sought-after session player, appearing on an assortment of artists' recordings. Jimmy touched upon a variety of musical styles throughout his career, and these fourteen tracks - which he also co-produced - can be effectively placed in the 1960s Rock genre. Guitarist Albert Lee, the other great "axe man" on this album, spent the mid-'60s as a top R&B guitarist in England, but reinvented himself in the 70s as one of the most excellent Rockabilly and Country pickers in the world, subsequently becoming one of the most in-demand session players in Nashville and Los Angeles. He also spent many years playing alongside the Everly Brothers, Emmylou Harris and Eric Clapton. These recordings are a wonderful presentation of Jimmy Page and Albert Lee's development as two of the world's most impressive guitarists, and are well worth a listen to by anybody that admires their fretwork.
