Alvin Lee: On The Road To Freedom
Bud Scoppa, Rolling Stone, 11 April 1974
TWO OFTEN UNPERSUASIVE musicians have combined to make an album better than any of their past work. Alvin Lee and Mylon LeFevre may have always been talented, but their performing contexts did not highlight their strengths. In this recording partnership, each has released the other from the conventions in which they both stagnated.
