Anyone Familiar with These two Albums?

[ChargerMike]

Alvin Lee & Mylon Lefevre - "On the Road to Freedom"

and

Mylon Lefevre's "Weak at the Knees" ?

I was listening to old cassettes of them Saturday night. Thank god I taped the LPs (which I do have). Great stuff.

Uh...anyone older'n 35 in here? Knock knock...

...just a tad over 35 ,and I've heard the LeFay's..good stuff

I saw Alvin Lee when he played in Emmylou Harris's Hot Band. Helluva guitar player.

[Uncle Fester]

Oh yeah. Alvin, Albert, what's the difference?

Emmy always had great guitar pickers, although I was usually too busy staring at her in those white pants to pay much attention.

[Felix]

so we're talking the "Ten Years After" Alvin Lee.....

we're talking about the Alvin Lee that owns "Big Red"



yep, great guitar player.......

[The Seer]

Alvin Lee was fast.....and a HELL of a lot cleaner than Jimmy Page....then again, who wasn't?

I saw Alvin Lee with Ten Years Later, his power trio follow-up to Ten Years After, back in the mid-70s at the Long Beach Arena. Dude flat out smoked (literally), since people in the audience were throwin' joints onto the stage and he was pickin' 'em up as he exited. The bass player (I believe it was Tom Compton) did a badass solo that included a version of the theme to The Pink Panther with him using the microphone stand as a slide on the fret board. I saw Alvin a few years later in Phoenix as the opening act for Kansas, and he blew them off the stage. I saw him again in Ventura a few years ago, and he had Rory Gallagher's former bassist with him. Always been one of my favorite guitarists.

Gotta concur that the Mylon LeFevre album cover is most gax, though.

[Spinach Genie]

Cher?

[Smackie Chan]

Cher?

Nope. Mylon's much prettier than Cher.

Somethin' you wanna tell us, Sam?

[Smackie Chan]

Cher's ugly as hell!

:D

She's prolly not nearly the musician he is either. Still, I'd still lay the lumber to her before I'd consider stickin' my pylon in Mylon.

[Nishlord]

Alvin Lee is from my home town.

[Nishlord]

He lives in California now, because that's the Rock n' Roll thing to do, apparently.

We also gave the world Paper Lace, Alvin Stardust and Swing Out Sister. I can see you're very impressed.

WTF, is half the male population of Nottingham named Alvin? Is that your name, too, Nish?

[Nishlord]

I wish it was.

Alvin Stardust was originally called Bernard Jewry, BTW.
