Customer Reviews an aging fan for an ageless artist We had a quadrophonic (remember quad?)demo LP that featured an eclectic mix of artists, including TYA doing "I'd love to Change the World". I was managing a Radio Shack in Spokane in 1973 when I first got turned on to Alvin Lee. My first impression of the band was "dang, who is this guy burning up the rosewood?" At that time the guys getting all the accolades for guitar work were, of course, Hendrix and Clapton. Lee's accomplishments on the instrument just astounded me, and still do. Record industry brass, being who they are, just have buried this guy in the forgotten pile. He is truly one of the unsung heroes of rock and blues. Ask 10 rock fans about Alvin Lee and 5 have heard of him. Along with Terry Kath, Johnny Winter, Peter Green, and Kanny Kirwan. Anyway, this album is an awesome collection of work. I cannot recommend it highly enough for devoted fans of rock who can appreciate and recognize a real guitar king. "Guitar god" is overused and I won't denigrade him by applying it here. Oh yeah, if you want some sweet blues check out "Pure Blues", Alvin's collection of some of his favorite numbers done solo and with TYA. The rocking side of Alvin Lee This is a collection of songs he did both with his old band Ten Years After and "solo". Think Alvin Lee and most people will tell you what a great blues guitarist he is, but he's also one great rock and roller and this collection showcases that. The songs were picked by Alvin himself so you've got a great insight into his own favorite rockers too. Great choices! There really aren't any weak spots at all. NEVER TOO LATE TO TURN ON! FANS OF ALVIN LEE&CO. TEN YEARS TOO LONG. HAVE WAITED PATIENTLY FOR NEW OR UNRELEASED TRACKS BY THIS PHENOMENAL GUITARIST. THIS LISTENERS EARS WERE PLEASED! "BABY WONT YOU LET ME ROCK& ROLL YOU" WITH A DIFFERENT TWIST! ALL HAIL, ALVINS BACK!. .
