アルバート・リーの遅すぎた79年ファースト・ソロ作「ハイディング」。
冒頭の「カントリー・ボーイ」はHeads Hands & Feetのデビュー作に収められていたアルバートの代表曲。いきなりのブルー・グラス大会でびびってしまいますが、その後は良い意味で普通のルーツ系の曲が続きます。
79年という時代なりの音作りも感じさせながらカントリー風味、スワンプ風味をほどよく感じさせるよく出来たシンガー・ソングライター作品です。
この人は渋いヴォーカルもイケてるので最後までばっちり楽しめますよ。
エミルー・ハリス、リッキー・スキャッグス、チャス＆デイヴ、パット・ドナルドソン等々英米混成のバック陣も豪華です。
オススメです。

米国盤。まずまずの美品です。
