Alvin Lee – Freefall (1980) (@256)
28 Feb 2010
(Review from allmusic)
Enter the 80s and Alvin Lee adjusts his sound accordingly. He teams up with ex-Rare Bird vocalist Steve Gould to produce a sound that is very “Foreigner”ish, mid-tempo rock and rather catchy with a slick guitar.
Highlights include “Stealin’” with its really tasty guitar and a nice, energetic vocal. There are even a few whoops and shrieks thrown in. “Ridin’ Truckin’” and “Sooner Or Later” which has a nice horn flourish and a tasty little organ line by guest Al Kooper — the latter is one of the more successful mergers of Lee’s straight-ahead style with a complex arrangement.
The fans of vintage Alvin Lee may be disappointed by the change in sound, other than that, it’s an album of its time.
