Bobby Lee

Some albums just come straight in like a warm sonic hug, and you know you’ll spend a long time enjoying their vibe; Sheffield-based guitarist Bobby Lee and London pedal steel player Joe Harvey-Whyte’s Last Ride is one of these…an ace full-length set dropped by California’s Curation Records. It feels like this album was a lot of fun to make; it’s a total pleasure to listen to.

The paths of West Coast canyon dweller Katie Schottland, aka Swimming Bell, and Sheffield-born Cosmic Choogler Bobby Lee are set to converge next month for a co-headline UK tour.

A huge step forward from Bobby Lee, Endless Skyways is a bold, dramatic and sensitive collaboration between the guitarist and his intuitive band. An exciting and fascinating piece of work.

Bobby Lee is back with Endless Skyways, his third full album and second release on Tompkins Square. Watch the video for his woozy swamp rock ‘Acid Grassland’, also our Tune of the Day.

With Origin Myths, there is no way Bobby Lee is from the U.K. It’s clear to me he’s from the American southwest resurrected as an Anasazi shaman…this is truly a homage to the red rock and the sand and the beating, hallucinatory sun.

Tompkins Square are to release Origin Myths by Sheffield-based Bobby Lee – a gorgeous slide of Psych country-folk – Open sky/scorched earth improvisations recorded to four track tape.
