The pride of the House of God Church in Perrine, Florida, the Lee Boys are one of the fastest-rising new bands in the “sacred steel” style of praise music that exploded onto the secular music world in the 1990s. Led by the pedal steel guitar of Roosevelt Collier, the Lee Boys is a joyous, bluesy and hard-rocking family band—three brothers, Alvin, Derrick and Keith Lee, and their three nephews—that has been described as a cross between Robert Randolph and the Holmes Brothers. The energetic and soulful band has recorded a concert DVD and a pair of CDs, It Is No Secret and Say Yes (the latter on Arhoolie). “The Lee Boys may be what Jimi Hendrix had in mind with his plan for ‘electric sky church music’…[singing] the praises while whipping the crowd into a frenzy with hypnotic grooves, innovative pedal-steel/lead guitar interplay and funky rhythms” (Chicago Sun-Times).
