Album Notes

Emerging northern California based recording artist Vikki Lee has proven to be an accomplished musician and successful bandleader, as well as an extremely entertaining, dynamic, and versatile performer.

Vikki has always been a real "trouper"...she just loves to work. Over the years her talent has been showcased in just about every northern California music and/or entertainment venue, both large and small, as well as many popular clubs and rooms in central and southern California. Vikki and her many talented bands have appeared at most of the major hotels, casinos, and resorts in Nevada, performing alongside acts as diverse as Elvin Bishop, Al Stewart, Mickey Gilley, B.J. Thomas, The Guess Who, The Marshall Tucker Band, The New Riders of the Purple Sage, and Tito Puente. Ms. Lee has even traveled to England and Germany and gigged there as well.

Vikki's talent and professionalism have earned her recording session credits with such artists as David Bromberg, Richie Barron, and former "Tubes" guitarist Bill Spooner....as well as the reputation as one of the San Francisco Bay area's finest vocalists!

As many of you know, watching Vikki Lee "live" is always a very exciting experience. She was absolutely born to be on stage in front of an audience. Vikki can sing and play any type of music from simple folk, sweet soul, funky rhythm and blues, light jazz, contemporary pop, and hard rock and roll......all the way to her present traditional and alternative country-rock song stylings.

A creative, versatile musician, Ms. Vikki carries on her resume an artist endorsement from respected equipment manufacturer Dean Markley for her solid work on the slide guitar....she can really rip it up!

But Vikki Lee would not be Vikki Lee without a band.......her own band......a good tight band that she has put together herself....a band she gigs with.....a band she hangs with......and a band she even books all the gigs for!

Vikki's band has had many incarnations through the years...from Vikki Lee and the Convertibles......through The Vikki Lee Band.....up to the many versions of her present group.......Sticky Vikki and the Pinecones.

While Vikki has truly enjoyed all of her bands......she has some very special words for the current line-up of her brand-spanking "new" Sticky Vikki and the Pinecones.......

"Finally...I really do have my dream band. I play all the music I like and want to play.....exactly the way I want to play it. I just love these guys! They are the best band in the world.....to play with....and to be with!!"
And Vikki Lee should know! She has fronted some really great units... and played with some really great players, including.....Kenny Dale Johnson (Chris Isaak Band),....Kevin Wells (Elvis Costello),...Amos Garrett (Anne Murray, Maria Muldaur, Jeff Muldaur),....Jimmy Pugh and Kevin Hayes (Robert Cray Band), ......Mac Cridlin (Pointer Sisters, Hoo Doo Rhythm Devils),......Johnny Tremolo, ...and the premier San Francisco horn section of Keith Crossan and Tim Hyland (Marty Balin, KBC Band).

So.........Sticky Vikki and the Pinecones must be very good!

You bet they are !! ......And they are proving it again and again..... exactly where a band's true greatness shows itself...up on-stage....in front of a living, breathing, kicking, and screaming "live" audience, totally knocking them out at every show they play!

So folks.....do yourselves a really big favor. Listen to Vikki Lee's music NOW!
