    ✅ Playlist: • Alvin Lee
    Alvin Lee (born Graham Anthony Barnes 19.12.1944 - 6.03.2013) was an English singer and guitarist, best known as the lead vocalist and lead guitarist of the blues rock band Ten Years After / Alvin says “… this is one of my favourite tracks from my album ‘1994’. It has George Harrison on slide guitar and is one of the best solos he ever played (George's solo 2:13 - 3:08) . It’s a masterpiece, so sensitive. Hearing George made me play more sensitive too! I’m very proud of this one.” (Alvin's genius solo 4:00 - 7:27)

    ............................................................................
    I couldn't wait to see you - waiting by the door
    There's no one there to meet me - and your clothes are on the floor
    Sorry if I hurt you - and I made you cry
    Couldn't stand to see you - with another guy
    It's the bluest blues - and it cuts me like a knife
    It's the bluest blues - since you walked out of my life
    Couldn't really tell you - how you hurt my pride
    Something broke within me - down inside
    I never knew I loved you - til you went away
    Now the loneliness surrounds me - everyday
    It's the bluest blues - since you walked out of the door
    It's the bluest blues - cause I won't see you no more
    I'm sorry if I failed you - if somehow I'm to blame
    It's the bluest blues I'm feeling - it's a cryin' shame
    I just can't live without you - face another day
    It's the bluest blues I'm feeling, and it's here to stay
    It's the bluest blues, and it cuts me to the bone
    It's the bluest blues, when you can't find your way home

    I was lucky to be playing piano and organ on this track and also in the studio when George laid down the slide. Alvin was my friend for over 50 years and we loved playing music together. I played on many of his records and co wrote a lot of songs with him. As many have said eat yer heart out Eric😉 Tim Hinkley

      @@david1044 you have to relax. Harrison was never known for his shredding, yes? On the contrary, he was a quite good slide guitarist with a lot of feel. The fact that Alvin Lee invited him to play this solo must tell you something, unless you think that lee was a simpleton to do it.

      This isn't really even a blues tune- it's a power ballad. Only someone who's never listened to Wolf or Muddy or Buddy Guy or Robert Johnson, or Son House or Little Walter or BB or Elmore James would say something this dumb. This is a great song with wonderful performances, but claiming a white guy from England wrote and performed a better blues song than the guys I mentioned is just ridiculous.

      I saw Alvin Lee and Ten Years After as a young man in San Francisco....I was left in awe and knew immediately that he was a cut above and something rare and special. Today I'm left to question why he together with Ten Years After are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.....especially when you consider some who occupy places of prominence there.....this is the man who stole Woodstock among other things.....it boggles my mind that he continues to occupy the hearts of so many, but is unrecognized by his peers.

    I often talk about slow guitar, which in many ways is just as difficult to play properly as speed guitar. This track shows that perfectly. Two awesome, but completely different solos. RIP to two sorely missed geniuses.

    Alvin cut many a great Albums. He was very versatile and played a variety of styles. Known primarily for His lightning rock blues riffs. But Alvin’s Collaboration with others is a great tribute to his love and friendships. Alvin was just as happy playing country stuff and even gospel. He made a great album with Mylon Lefevere’ -the great southern born rock gospel singer and many other great albums. George plays such tasty slide on this song. Alvin plays the tastiest soulful blues at lightning speed. Honestly how this recording is not more well known is a hard to fathom

    One of the high points of my life was sitting on the side of the stage with Alvin when he played here in Baltimore on September 30, 1972. I was working for the promoter and had a backstage pass. J Geils band was the opening act. So I decided to go up to the side stage to sit there and watch them perform and while I was sitting there waiting for them to start Alvin came up and sat down next to me. We started a conversation which continued off and on through the opening act. It was like sitting there and talking with your best friend and just enjoying the music together. I remember he was very impressed with J Geils. When Alvin took the stage he blew everyone away!

      @@sandydority2532 I appreciate your taking the time to express sympathy to someone you'll likely never meet. I've used music to help get through the death of my wife, which followed the death of our daughter and my father all within the space of 15 months. Music was an essential part of our marriage, helping to bring us together and create many important memories to share. Karen, my wife's name but nothing like the stereotype that name has acquired, was a trained contralto voice and a conductor as well. My complete lack of musical talent gave me a sense of awe towards her beautiful vocal skills. For all of the performances she was involved in, I only possess one recording of her singing as a soloist. But that song sung in classical German evokes tears of joy and loss every time I play it. It's a perfect match to her vocal range, and allows her natural talent and love for music to be given it's best possible expression. Obviously I'm not neutral in my review of signing, but I will always take some pride in being her partner in life.
      Thanks for giving me an opportunity to put down in words what we shared in life and what I've lost when she passed away. If this attempt at writing a comment in reply to you is successful, it will be the fourth time I've tried to put into words how our time together made me a better person. I've been using the comment sections as a kind of personal therapy. Telling others about the grief I feel and the constant fog daily life has become, has kept me from bottling everything inside. Being able to vent has probably stopped me from spiraling down and out. So I thank you and so many others for reminding me that life can still have moments of beauty and hope even though I've lost those who gave it meaning and purpose. When you take the time to express sympathy because you can understand what it might feel like to be in their shoes, it helps to remind me that my life isn't over because of what I've lost. The world is still full of beauty and good people if I can keep going. What I've lived through is preparation for what comes next. Thanks again, hope your day goes well. Also wanted to mention that I love the font you used in your comment. Could you tell me where you found it? Peace
