Alvin Lee is another case of the great guitarists who left us very early. The musician left an incredible legacy ahead of Ten Years After, a great band unfortunately little remembered in rock history.
With Lee on vocals and in long guitar solos, the song “I’m Going Home” introduced Ten Years Afters to wider audiences, and was included in the 1970 documentary “Woodstock.”
The band would still release hit with songs like “Love Like a Man” (1970) and “I’d Love to Change the World” (1971). In 1973, Lee left the band, of which he was one of the founders, to pursue a solo career.
He returned in 1988. Ten Years After released 11 studio albums between 1966 and 2008, and Lee had 14 solo albums in his career, until “Still on the Road to Freedom” in 2012, his last release.
