 This is for the Hall Of Fame - Classic
What can I say, the best CD of 2004. lvin Lee fulfilling a lifetimne ambition of playing with those "roots", Rockabilly and Rock N Roll guys who backed Elvis in his early work. All original songs written by Alvin and his most inspired solo work and maybe his most inspired work since Undead with his former backup band. It is so fresh, so alive with energy, Alvin's singing is the best I ever heard it and so true to the genre, with Alvin not copying, but putting his fingerprint on the genre and taking it to another level. Put on your dancing shows for this high energy, pure, no gimmick, fun, happy to be alive music. Alvin's playing has reached so many more dimensions since his days of fame (which he hated), around and after Woodstock. It is so great to hear Alvin playing with great talent, withoout the grave limitations forced on him by being loyal to his former rhythm section in his old band. Alvin is a class act and very loyal, I think too loyal, for too long to his old rhythm section.

 album of the year
Anyone who has not heard of Alvin Lee should listen to this CD.It is in my opinion the best album Alvin has released and this is saying something considering A Space in Time and Cricklewood Green which were classics.This album rocks from start to finish with wonderful guitar playing from the master,and great backing from some fantastic musicians.A hidden treasure.

 This is GOOD Music!
This is an outstanding record that mixes Chicago with the West Coast and tops it off with some good ole' Rock & Roll. By itself, Alvin's studio take on "I'm Going Home" is worth the price of admission. The other ten tracks are just as entertaining, and the infamous rhythm section proves they can still lay it down with the best in the business. Don't miss this one!

 Happy Together
After playing the blues for so many years, it is obvious from this CD Alvin is happy again. It shows in his lyrics and shines from his guitar. Drawing directly from his roots, motivated and inspired by his idols produces polished gems that are sure to endure. An album certain to be in play for a long time to come.
