Alvin Lee-"In Flight" (1974)

After the 1974 album "Positive Vibrations" Alvin Lee ended the Ten Years After career, with which he had published a dozen albums.
The abandonment of Lee was mainly to pursue his own solo career that would last until the late eighties when he would reunite the band taking advantage of the fever that the sound of the seventies had at that time.
However Alvin Lee had already published in 1973 while he was still in Ten Years After, the album "On The Road to Freedom" in which he had the collaboration of Steve Winwood, George Harrison, Ron Wood and Jim Capaldi among others.
In "In Flight" Lee took advantage of one of the great specialties of his ex-band, his strong live sound and his excellent live creatives, recorded live at the Rainbow Theater in London in 1974, the repertoire included adaptations of rock classics like "Don´t be Cruel" by Elvis Presley or "Keep a Knocking" or "Mystery Train", in addition to blues songs like the jazz blues song "Freedom For the Stallion", the lilting blues "Every Blues You´ve Ever Heard" or accelerated boogies like "Ride My Train", "I´ve Got Eyes for You Baby" or "Slow Down".
