Still on the Road to Freedom

Album | Alvin Lee

Nearly four decades after his first recording venture away from Ten Years After Alvin Lee released in 2012 his final studio album aptly named “Still on the Road to Freedom”. Featuring longtime band members bassist Pete Pritchard and drummer Richard Newman, along with keyboardist Tim Hinkley the album is a journey through Lee’s love of roots music. Containing everything from rock n’ roll to blues to jazz to funk and even a touch of folk it was a critically acclaimed evolution that referenced the past while still pushing to new places.

At the age of 68 Alvin Lee passed away in Spain after “unforeseen complications following a routine surgical procedure” to correct an atrial arrhythmia. His extensive career saw him tour the world multiple times, release 21 studio albums, record 4 live albums and earned him the title “the fastest guitar in the West”. Through all of that, he stayed true to himself, making the music he wanted without outside influence or expectations earning him fans across the globe. At the time of his death, he had a sold-out show booked in Paris for early April and talked about recording a blues album with top musicians in the U.S.
