Alvin Lee Message & Discussion Board
Thanks for joining in the conversation!
A place called JCRMusicNews has already published both track list and a nice review of the upcoming CD. Probably too early, but who cares - it just makes my ears drool for it even more. "Love like a man 2"? Mega drool..
Part of what they say: "Superb sound from the best in the business! Similar in style and spirit to the original, it's classic rock, with excellent musicianship from one of the UK's foremost guitar heroes."

F:They don't even know when it will be available, or available at all!!! (http://www.amazon.fr/Still-Road-Freedom-Alvin-Lee/dp/B0086460BU/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1339891826&sr=1-1)
Thanks for sharing, Borje!! Can't wait! Would love to see this on vinyl - I went ahead and preordered the cd on amazon - maybe they'll release early!!!
I can see the excitement and anticipation building quite nicely.
I cannot wait! 
Hooraaaay!!! Love the cover pic, and the song titles are intriguing, especially "Back in '69". Congrats on the rave review, Alvin!!
Wouahh I love the picture on the cd. Exactly what I imagined (and suggested ;0))
Bravo Alvin great pic probably taken in Andalousia
Can't wait to listen to it
Yes, Eric, when I saw the pic I remembered Toni asking us what we thought should be on the cover. I just wonder what's on the back! ;-)

Hey Laurie,
If its like OTRTF it should the same pic but taken from behind 
Yeah, Eric, you're right. I'll bet that's it. On the other hand, maybe there's a tricky surprise twist to the original photo "reversal"? ;-)

Love the review and song list-- thanks so much for posting it! I keep reading the review over and over like maybe I'll be able to hear the music if I keep reading the review 
Hi, Lynn! :-) I know what you mean about the below... I do stuff like that sometimes, heh heh. What funny creatures we mere mortals be! I think the waiting is getting even harder the closer we get "on the road to" Alvin's new album. It's like we're on Christmas Eve, but Christmas morning (or whatever winter holiday morning of your choice) is over two months away!!
Hi Laurie! We've got to be able to chuckle at ourselves sometimes:) You're so right on-- it's like an extended Christmas eve. My husband was so funny saying that once I got the CD in the mail I needed to wait for him to listen to it with me (he's a big fan too). I said, "no way-- that CD is getting played right away whether your home or not!" 
It's really fun to see the great cover and song titles isn't it. I'm intrigued by Song of the Red Rock Mountain, Mignight Creeper and Walk on, Walk Tall. I've e-mailed the review to my Alvin fan friends here at home and they're preordering the CD too. Maybe we can all have a cyber-party here on the board when we get our CDs
Any clue why Alvin is STILL on the road to freedom...sounds like a lengthy road...
He was on that road in the seventies and now in the 21th century, he still has not found freedom
I suspect what is meant is freedom in the loftiest sense, which could seem elusive even after decades. Or be a long work in progress. Or have been found, then lost again. Only Alvin can answer this one for himself, of course. But at some point in any quest for freedom as I see it comes the realization that freedom is ultimately inside one, or it is nowhere at all.

My opinion: You don't just achieve freedom and then leave it alone. Especially when you're looking for freedom to make the kind of music you want. I always thought that was what Alvin meant anyway, at least with the original OTRTF....he felt confined by TYA's musical style and by what the record labels and even the audience wanted from him, and he wanted the freedom to do what he wanted and to explore different musical options. I don't think that ever ends....it's a constant journey.

OMG(oddess), Toni! I feel terrible! I haven't been looking much at websites in general these days, but clearly I for one am overdue for a current perusal of this one. Will do!
Really, really sorry!! I love the website and have thoroughly enjoyed every page and link! Very much appreciate all the work you do. I tend to go straight to the discussion board and this is a good reminder to keep an eye on the website for updates. Thanks for the wake-up call and again so, so sorry.
Oh, goody! I'll look forward to it. :-)
These days I tend to arrive straight onto the board via bookmark myself. But I have spent much happy site-browsing time here in the past, and will enjoy catching up on the latest. As ever, I appreciate your time and efforts on behalf of our hero & our gang, Toni. Keep up the good work! :-)
Maybe you should let us know when you update.
My bookmark goes straight to the ALM&DB
Cool! Can't wait
