Alvin Lee 1944 - 2013


El blues está de luto


Por lo general en el arte, el talento no necesariamente va a la par del reconocimiento. Y muchas veces el no estar en el lugar indicado y en el momento preciso puede ser fundamental a la hora de lograr la popularidad deseada.
Sin dudas este fue el caso de Alvin Lee, el legendario líder de Ten Years After que murió el miércoles 6 de marzo producto de una complicación de su estado tras una cirugía de rutina.

Nacido el 19 de diciembre de 1944 en la ciudad inglesa de Nottingham, Graham Alvin Barnes (tal su verdadero nombre) descubrió la guitarra eléctrica a los 13 años influenciado por la colección de discos de blues y  jazz que atesoraba su padre.
Luego de algún tiempo de vagar sin demasiado éxito por el circuito de pubs ingleses, decidió probar suerte como tantos otros colegas en Hamburgo, Alemania. 
A su regreso formó junto al bajista Leo Lyons una banda llamada The Jaybirds que posteriormente cambiaría su nombre a Ten Years After, lanzando su autotitulado debut en 1967: una fenomenal mezcla de rock y hard blues, sostenido por los punzantes solos de Lee.

En 1968 Ten Years After saca su segundo trabajo Undead (grabado en vivo), su álbum más contundente que incluía el célebre I´m going home, (un must listen para cualquier guitarrista de pura cepa blusera que se precie de tal), tema que además quedaría plasmado en el recuerdo de toda una generación a través de su interpretación en el Festival de Woodstock

Luego de diez discos de mediano éxito con Ten Years After, Lee decidió comenzar una irregular carrera como solista tomando al blues como protagonista, además de reunirse esporádicamente con su viejo socio Lyons en su clásica banda. 

En 2012 editó el que sería su último trabajo Still On The Road To Freedom, una vuelta a sus raíces que,a pesar de las buenas críticas no logró destacarse más allá de su circulo acérrimo de fanáticos incondicionales

Nunca del todo reconocido por la prensa especializada, Alvin Lee no gozó de la popularidad de estrellas  contemporáneas como Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck o Eric Clapton pero fue igual de influyente y será extrañado por los amantes de las guitarras estridentes y los solos virtuosos

The advantage of using circuit schooling with resistance bands is the fact your heart-rate
remains elevated and you happen to be able get the added benefits of the cardio training
session even though concurrently conducting your power
workouts in combination.
