    This is so beautiful, with two amazing guitar solos, George Harrison first, and then the longer solo from Alvin Lee. This song is phenomenal in my opinion, absolutely epic, so emotional and powerful. Alvin Lee was an incredible musician, and I have a lot of fav songs from his band Ten Years After, including 'Hear Me Calling', 'Standing at the Station' and '50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain', TYA were a brilliant blues rock band. 👍👍

    Brilliant guitarist. There are plenty of speed demon guitarists out there, but Alvin Lee played with such precision and tonal quality along with his speed he influenced legions of followers. If you haven't reacted to his "I'd Love To Change the World" with Ten Years After, you should. The lyrics are pretty dated, but the guitar work is so beautiful.

    Slow Blues in "C", Help Me, I'd Love to Change the World, and a dozen others make Ten Years After a deep rabbit hole...Alvin Lee is right up there beside Peter Green as the best British guitarists of the 60's and 70's....

    Andrei and Dominika, tell me something. When you were teens and growing up in Romania, did you have much access to blues music like this great guitarist Alvin Lee? It is clear you are at an age where you are drawn to the musical drama and comfort only the blues and blues rock can offer. Did you hear this very much on the radio or have the great blues guitarists giving concerts in your country, or does Romania have a batch of blues guitarists that we in the West have never heard of? Please let us know when you first were exposed to this music. 🎸💖💖💖

    • @MerchantOfAlba
      @MerchantOfAlba  Před měsícem +1

      Hello there. Thanks for the message. In both our countries, Romania and Poland, we did not really have access or listened to music from abroad that much. Of course, once we were more open to the world, the music was flooding from all over. I'm sure there are great blues musicians in both of our countries, but we never listened to them. Only thanks to this channel really, we are discovering how amazing and diverse music can be. Warm greetings from Romania 💚
