BIOGRAPHY

Johnny Lee Schell is an American guitarist and songwriter. In the 1970s, he premiered as a prominent member of a Texas-based southern rock band, Baby. Since his professional debut, he has played with dozens of well-known recording artists. His inclusion on albums such as Bonnie Raitt‘s Green Light (1982)[1] and Nick of Time (1989)[2] has lent him his bearing in American pop music culture. Yet, Schell’s works had already journeyed from the North America to Australia, when he worked with Australian soul singer Renée Geyer on her album So Lucky (1981). As a member of Bonnie Raitt’s road band, Schell backed the Australian Geyer while recording So Lucky (renamed Renee Geyer for international market) at Shangri La studios in Malibu, California.[3][4] Other members included Ian McLagan (formerly of The Faces) and drummer/producer extraordinaire Ricky Fataar.
