great - I never thought i would be able to find this great music.Thanks to AMAZON for there fantastic selection!!!
A great forgotten rock album - I have loved this album for years, my father has it. I didn t think I would ever find it on CD, but here it is! It s rather expensive, but worth the money as you will not find this in record stores. This album has lots of famous rockers playing with the two lead guys - George Harrison, Ron Wood, Mick Fleetwood, Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi and others. If you are a fan of classic rock, particularly deep album rock - songs that were not top 40, this is a must have item! It s interesting because the songs reflect what was going on in 1973, but they could have been written today.
We re makin a smokin album up the road... - Back in the mid-1980 s, an interview appeared on NPR with Mylon LeFevre, (hough the interviewer was apparently from a Contemporary Christian Music media), where Mylon outlined some of his history in rock and gospel.In the midst of it was a charming story he told, that goes like this. Alvin (Lee) and I were working on this record, On the Road to Freedom , and took a break, and made our way to pub nearby. We weren t there long, when, of all things, in walks George Harrison. I told Alvin to introduce me, and he says, No - he s me neighbor and all, and I ll meet him someday, but.. Course, you know how the English are, all formal and all-that, so I just hopped up off my barstool, leaving Alvin behind, walked over, stuck out my hand, and said to George, Hi, I m Mylon LeFevre, and I m here with Alvin Lee, and we re makin a smokin album up the road, you wanna come by, hang out, play some, and do some blow...? George grinned at me and said, Yeah, sure, great, man! No one ever asks me to play, cause of the Beatle thing.. So, he came over, and it was around the time he was writing stuff for Dark Horse, and I just loved his song So Sad , so we recorded it on ...Freedom .I did my best after that to scour used record stores for a copy of the album, all to no avail. Finally got a hold of a copy some 5 years later, and found it to be as extrordinary as everyone had been saying all these years.Tasty, tasty, tasty....and as representative of the same devil-may-care attitude that brought Mylon off his barstool to greet George Harrison. What a great record!
Fallen Angel, can you hear me? - I got this album in late 72, when a friend of mine, who worked for Columbia Records in New Jersey stole a couple of copies, and gave meone. This when I was in my rip-off the rip-off phase. Since thenI ve bought both the cassette, and the CD. Not to appease the Karma Gods,but because this CD is that good, from the deceptively simple first primecut, On the Road to Freedom, through the suffle boogie of The world isChanging, and the slide guitair slide of So Sad, to the openingdominant chord opening of Fallen Angel, and the folksey Funny, andthen going into Mylon LeFevere gospel roots of We Will Shine, and Carry My Load, then the Alvin Lee rockers of Let them Say What they will, I can t take it, and Riffin, and the just pure guitair forte of Rockin till the sun goes down, the combination of Alvin Leeand his fabulous talent, and that unmistakable voice of Mylon LeFevrecombined to make one album for the ages, I would strongly suggest thatyou find a copy of this album, tape, or CD and listen to it, if notoutright purchase it.
100 years after - Better than any 10 Years After CD. Mylon has always been one of my faves as well. The quality of this CD was much better than my album.
