Albert Lee covers Setting Me Up

[xxFordiexx]

Hi all,

Just wondered if any of you have seen this before and what do you think. Nice to have yet another great artist covering Knopfler's work

[ds1984]

Already covered for his studio album Hiding, in 1979 and also when side guitarist for Eric Clapton on his 1980 Live LP "Just One Night"

Great vid, great version.

Waylon Jennings did a great country version
as well. I have it on Lp somewhere.

Here it is.

Albert Lee Rocks! I love his cover !!!
I recall a funny memory !
I've been invited to Dance on his stages a couple of years ago ! Hahah !
(It was Bill Wyman's tour actually and that's Mick Sanchez who took me on stages lol)

[Best Brown Baggies]

Then there's the fantastic Notting Hillbillies
versions. Absolutely superb Telecaster picking!!!

[Best Brown Baggies]

And Jeannie. C. Riley.
Yeeeeee haaaaaaaaaa!!!!

And country rock band ' Highway 101'
did a great cover as well.
Can't seem to find it on YouTube though!

Cheers BBB

Oh, & some group called Dire Straights
did a version too.

So, that's a resounding yes then

It's a totally different groove on the Albert Lee version. Great though

I take it you got the name of the band intentionally wrong there? ....... I hope so lol

Of course. Come on, what do you take me for. Lol
On that same subject though, I was in my local HMV
store last year, flicking through the cd's as you do,
& you know that they put black plastic dividers between
each artist, with the name of each artist on, well, they had
only spelled Dire Straits like Dire Straights!!
I was horrified. I told the assistant, who didn't really seem
that bothered.
Honestly, the youth of today!

Cheers. BBB

Yeah, the same goes for Marc Knopfler. Whereas everybody should know it's Marck!

Nice versions of a great song!  I wonder, when was the last time MK played it live?

[Hophead]

Let's not forget..'Mark Knofler'..can't tell you how many times I've seen that one...grrrr !

Albert Lee is such a phenomenal singer and player. He deserves a lot more recognition. However, he really should quit using the chorus effect in his guitar sound ...
