Product Description

Product Description

When it comes to red hot boogie guitar,you can't get hotter than Alvin Lee,especially when he's firing on all fretboards.That's certainly the case with this aptly named Best Of compilation.This unmissable 2CD set is jam packed with dazzling performances by the former Ten Years After guitar hero.We hear Alvin singing and playing on 30 tracks,culled from the many solo albums he released during the years when he led his own bands,from the 1970s through to recent times.Backed by top rock session players,old mates and his regular sidemen,Alvin sounds at home in a variety of moods and styles,from blues to rock n roll.He burns up his fingers and vocal cords on such favourites as Keep On Rockin,Boogie All Day and The Bluest Blues,and the action never lets up.If you remember classics like Pump Iron and Rocket Fuel,then you'll dig more recent examples of Alvin's craft from In Tennessee,the album that celebrated his earthy musical roots.Booklet with authoritative and extensive liner notes written by respected Record Collector journalist Michael Heatley.Expertly re-mastered by Jon Astley(who has worked on recordings by the Who,Led Zeppelin,George Harrison and many others).Superb sound the best in the business!

5.0 out of 5 stars Maestro Alvin - Rock on!!! 3 July 2012
By Victor Martinez - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the third anthology put forth by my favorite guitar player, Alvin Lee. The material is not his best but you wouldn't know it by listening to this cd. That's how good this man's art has been over the years. If you never got past Ten Years After - don't bother. However, if you've been fortunate enough to follow this man's career, you're a well traveled fan on that mystical "Road to Freedom" that our hero has so dutifully pursued.
If you don't have any Alvin Lee in your cd collection this anthology gives you a wonderful peek into this man's art. One of Alvin's best songs, "Bluest Blues", a moving piece that features his old neighbor George Harrison belongs in any Best of set, however, Alvin has put it on all three anthologies??? Since I own all three anthologies my only gripe with this last one is the inclusion of songs already on one of the other anthologies. I'd would've loved to have had some material "from the vaults" included - especially live material! Cough up the unreleased material, Alvin!!!

I think he is one of the most under rated Guitar players ever. Great songs always was a 10 years after fan this CD doesn't change my mind.
4.0 out of 5 stars What a spectrum 18 April 2013

Alvin was a stellar performer. This CD demonstrates his post Ten Years After production demonstrating his mastery of the guitar.
