Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0809289070328 Label: Rainman Manufacturer: Rainman MPN: 703 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Rainman Release Date: September 18, 2007 Studio: Rainman Editorial Review: Product Description: The album title Saguitar is based on his star sign Sagittarius. There are 14 blistering new tracks, all written by ALVIN, that include rockers like Anytime U Want Me and more reflective pieces such as The Squeeze. This song evokes that special time of day devoted to reflection. The Squeeze comes just before you go to sleep at night and start thinking about the day and wondering Did I do right? One of my greatest joys is writing songs and it s a magical experience. I sit there with my Big Red Gibson guitar and a tape recorder and pluck themes out of the ether. One surprise item is Rapper, built up from drum loops. Explains ALVIN: I stuck all these drum rhythms together, which is really rather cool. I did my own drum fills and laid some hot guitar over the top. It s a rap song, some people have said is fantastic. Alvin is delighted with Saguitar and says that tunes like Motel Blues make his hair bristle. It creates a melancholic moment and that produces the best kind of music. A lot of my songs like Midnite Train are not really personal. I just put myself into a Mississippi mode, although I haven t been to a train station in years. It s all about the romance of the road and hopping on freight trains. Overall though, this is a non-traveling album. Saguitar, follows the critically acclaimed album from 2004, Alvin Lee In Tennessee, which was recorded with rock n roll legends Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana, Elvis Presley s original band, and followed by an extensive UK tour. As a Sagittarian, ALVIN feels his personal characteristics are fairly well defined. A Sagittarian is supposed to be outgoing; he s symbolized by a man s head and torso on a horse holding a bow and arrow. Just like me. So I guess Saguitar is now the 13th sign of the Zodiac. Sounds like witchcraft doesn t it? Must be a Black Sabbath album! Album Description: On Saguitar, Alvin Lee delivers 14 blistering new studio tracks that will be enhancing our shores from September o Christmas. Alvin, founder and leader of the original band. Alvin, founder and leader of the original band, Ten years after and hero of the Woodstock, will be doing press and promotional activates all year and returning in early '08 to tour the U.S. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Let's RockI had the chance to see Alvin with TYA a number of years ago after watching him on the big screen in the Woodstock Documentary. He is has been and still is one of the great rock and roll guitar players of all time. On Saguitar, he shines both playing and singing with his signature sound, This is a quality CD offering and should be picked up by all his fans and fans of rock and roll. Every song will grab you and bring back those good time feelings. Thanks Alvin for this release- You have a loyal fan ...

This CD is one of the top "old timers" discs out right now, and that is saying something when you consider Steve Winwood, Robin Trower/Jack Bruce and Joe Cocker have also just released some excellent work. Alvin Lee more that proves he is a master blues/rocker. Buy this disc! Rating: - Alvin Lee' Saguitar after having seen Alvin Lee on Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival DVD 2 and having Alvin Lee's Ten Years After Live DVD released a few years ago had to buy Saguitar ... Recommended . Rating: - Alvin Lee Moving Forward !No this is not a blazing hot guitar licks record like the works of Alvin Lee and Ten Years After, but it is a very fine blues/rock record. I highly recommend this to all Alvin Lee fans and everybody that digs straight up blues/rock. No filler at all on this record, every track is great. Nice to know artist's like Alvin, that have been writing, singing,and playing for decades can still get the job done. Rating: - SaguitarAlvin Lee has always been, and continues to be, a master of the guitar. This CD shows that very well, it is all that I expected, very, very, good! |
