a year, in the U.S., including two tours of Europe 1997 &
1999. With growing popularity Uncle Albert has steadily ranked
among the top blues bands in St. Louis and the tri-state region.
UNCLE
ALBERT has released three CDs!
Hermann Lager 1994, Workin'1996, And Most Exclusive Residence
in 2001.
"The
album "Workin'" is well crafted and superbly executed,
composed mostly of blues with some AAA-leaning material. Tracks
range from a gritty, credible cover of "Born under a bad
sign" to the sweeping piano and expansive voice of Lisa
Campbell on the intimate "Sister". They've crafted
one of the best recent "local releases."
---- Michael Kuelker, St.Louis Post
Dispatch 6/12/97
"Guitarist
/ Songwriter Tim Albert and Pianist Lisa Campbell, both fine
singers, lead Illinois based UNCLE ALBERT. They prove their
facility at a range of acoustic and electric blues"
