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 and Nick of Time 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 Ren�e Geyer on her album So Lucky. As a member of Bonnie Raitt's road band, Schell backed the Australian Geyer while recording So Lucky at Shangri La studios in Malibu, California. Other members included Ian McLagan and drummer/producer extraordinaire Ricky Fataar. Some of Schell's 21st century interests have included working with Memphis based Barbara Blue on her album, Memphis 3rd and Beale, and recording Eric Burdon's albums My Secret Life, Soul of a Man, and co-producing The Voice's Season One semi-finalist, Nakia's EP with Barry Goldberg in his own Ultratone Studios in Studio City, California.
