Alvin Lee Best of Alvin Lee [import]

2012 two CD compilation from the guitar great. 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 un-missable 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. Booklet with authoritative and extensive liner notes written by respected 'Record Collector' journalist Michael Heatley.
