Live Stream: Watch Albert Lee Perform at New York City's Iridium Saturday Night

Guitar legend Albert Lee is kicking off a three-night stand at New York City's Iridium Jazz Club tonight. Luckily, fans who can't make it to any of the shows can enjoy a live webcast of his Saturday-night set right here.

Lee, who has been cited as an influence by hoards of players including Steve Howe of Yes, is known for his crisp, twangy tone and lightning-fast runs as heard in "Country Boy" (Check out the video below), which was covered by Ricky Skaggs in the mid-'80s. Lee has worked with Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton, Emmylou Harris, the Everly Brothers, Bill Wyman, Dave Edmunds and many others, and his solo albums are full of blistering guitar work.
