Alvin Lee

Alvin Lee, the guitar-slinging virtuoso with a voice as smooth as aged whiskey, emerged from Nottingham in 1944 to redefine blues-rock. Best known as the frontman of Ten Years After, Lee's nimble fingers danced across the frets, making his guitar sing with more soul than a preacher on Sunday. With a voice that could melt hearts and a guitar style that made strings jealous, Lee became the quintessential blues-rock showman. From Woodstock to the smokey blues clubs, he left audiences wondering if there was anything he couldn't make sound cool. Alvin Lee: where blues met a guitar and had a lovechild named Rock 'n' Roll.
