"What a pleasure and what a special musician.
Alvin does the best recorded version of "I'm Going Home" on this as well. The most underated musician of his time at his best. It is so cool to hear new version of old Alvin classics as well as new tunes as well. The best is that if you haven't heard Alvin Lee without his old Ten Years After backup band, you are in for a treat. Like in his solo work, especially the Alvin Lee Anthology, Zoom, 1994, Pure Blues, to hear Alvin finally play with superior muscians is magical and you can hear the great versatility of his music. This is a guy who has done everything he can NOT to be a pop star or superstar, but a musician. Since he left the Ten Years After backup band, you can really hear Alvin smoke. No more limitations."
