The
follow up to his 2004 Alvin Lee In Tennessee, recorded with
rock n roll legends Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana, the
2007 release of Saguitar finds U.K. rock great Alvin Lee getting
back to his rock roots. Commenting on his return to form Alvin adds,
I used to be a hot young star and now Im an old dog. As
you get older you go back to what you do best. Held in high
praise by both blues fans and the cutting edge rock movement of the
late 60s / early 70s, Lee and his group Ten Years After
broke the barrier between blues, pop and rock and roll. 40 years after
the first Ten Years After sessions, Lee is back on track with Saguitar.
Though he modestly adds, I sit there with my Big Red
Gibson guitar and a tape recorder and pluck themes out of the ether,
Alvin Lee and Co. brings the blues guitar around again with the astrologically
sound Saguitar. www.alvinlee.com
