There's still Lee's lightning quick blues licks, but he also knew how to slow it down on the quieter tracks as well and write some powerful tunes ranging from the folky "Here They Come" to the Chuck Berry-influenced, "Baby Won't You Let Me Rock and Roll You" while "Let the Sky Fall" is a standout track with psychedelic vocals reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix. A Space in Time is a mature work, more restrained than the band's previous albums primarily because of the liberal use of tasty acoustic guitar and plenty of sound effects and studio tricks that complement the overall texture.and it really works. Guitarist and vocalist Alvin Lee who considered A Space In Time to be his favorite album, provides exceptional blues leads and the majority of the songwriting along with band mates, Chick Churchill on keyboards, Leo Lyons on bass and drummer, Ric Lee. The 10-song set includes the band's classic rock hit, "I'd Love to Change the World" - with guitar riffs that must be included among the greatest in rock 'n' roll history and it went on to be their all-time best seller.

Ten Years After never had a Top 10 album in America, though 1971’s “A Space in Time” went platinum thanks to the group’s only Top 40 hit, “I’d Love to Change the World.” “Groups would play for an hour without pausing, not to be mobbed or screamed at but in hopes of an ovation,” critic Nik Cohn wrote about musicians in the caption.ĭespite his status as a musician, Lee never reached the critical or popular heights of his countrymen. In an image from the 1973 book “Rock Dreams,” he and those four others are pictured in tuxedos carrying guitar cases into a building. His performance at Woodstock in 1969 catapulted him into the front ranks of the period’s British guitar heroes, which included Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Pete Townshend. The note was signed by Lee’s daughter, Jasmin, wife, Evi, and former companion Suzanne.īorn in Nottingham, England, in 1944, Lee was the leader of the band Ten Years After. The world has lost a great and truly gifted musician.” “We have lost a wonderful, much loved father and companion. “With great sadness, we have to announce that Alvin unexpectedly passed away early this morning after unforeseen complications following a routine surgical procedure,” read the message on. Alvin Lee, the speed-fingered British guitarist who lit up Woodstock with a monumental 11-minute version of his song “I’m Going Home,” has died, according to his website.
