I've waited a long time for this to be available on CD. This was an album that went Gold when it first came out but languished when companies started putting their backlog of albums on CD. Besides sounding like the musicians were having fun and giving it their all it features one of my favorite versions of the George Harrison song "So Sad" with an outstanding vocal by Mylon LeFevre. Alvin Lee proves he's more than "Captain Speedfingers" with some tasty riffs playing acoustic as well as electric guitar. He also lets his partner in the project take the vocal spotlight and supports him with harmonies and backup vocals. And let's not forget the other musicians: pre-Rolling Stones Ron Wood, Steve Winwood as well as Jim Capaldi & Rebop from Traffic, Mick Fleetwood, Boz Burrell of Bad Company and of course George Harrison among those joining in the fun. This album is a great mix of solid acoustic and electric songs ranging from the aforementioned "So Sad" to the Country tinged "Funny" to the rocker "Fallen Angel" with each track a polished gem. My thanks to the German company that has made this to far neglected album available, you have performed a valuable service.Read full review
This Alvin Lee/Mylon LeFevre On The Road To Freedom CD is great. This is quite different than any Alvin Lee and/or Ten Years After record. It is closer to a James Taylor soft rock type of record than Ten Years After. There are a couple of tracks that are rockers, but mostly softer music. I mainly got this because George Harrison wrote the song So Sad (No Love Of His Own), but he also plays Guitar, Slide Guitar, Bass and Harmony Vocals. Don't be confused as he is credited as Hari Gorgeson. They have included the single version of this song as a bonus track. There is a nice booklet included in this CD. This is a great LP that never got the attention it deserved. Anyone who likes James Taylor type of music or even Alvin Lee or Ten Years After might think about getting this CD. Anyone collecting music that George Harrison is on or wrote should definitely get this CD. I do hope if you do get this CD you enjoy it as much as I do.Read full review
First listen to his as a LP back in the mid-70's while in high school.. a buddy gave me his LP to listen to.. he stated you will love this album.. well I did, went out and bought it... wore it out in college.. have been looking for the CD for years. .need to get it.. not only are Alivn and Mylon great.. but the extra slide guitar and songs by Harry Georgeoson are great.. George Harrison's playing on the LP is some of his best work.. he also wrote and co-wrote some of the tunes.. great LP I hope the CD is as good...
This is your typical overlooked 70's style music by two well mown talented musicians. If you like obscure music you ought to appreciate this. The only negative that some people may find is the production. Some of the vocals are t quite as clear and some of the instrumentation production is kind of muddy sounding. Probably due to budget restraints, studio, technology of the era, etc. But to me, that's what I appreciate about the 70'a music. The rawness of it
