Quotes by Alvin Lee

“Yeah, were definitely developing a following. I mean, we had such an impression on the people here, they wanted us back again. And actually, in South Florida, we do have a good fan base. Its just that because of how our schedule is, we dont go back to the area a lot. Thats what were trying to push now -- we want to build a bigger following in Florida.”

“Were definitely pushing for everyone to do the band full-time, ... But right now, were just trying to set everything in order, and Im trying to do it so we have a big record out and have the bookings and the following to support us.”

“We wanted to make something that represented what we were actually doing, ... The first album was OK, but that was almost three and a half years ago, and we more or less did that on our own. But with Arhoolie, we were able to go into a bigger studio -- it was a lot more professional -- and we did the whole recording in one day, because we already knew what we were going to do. And we had a good engineer that had a nice system, and he let us feel free to do what we do, and I think thats the best way to record a group of guys like us.”

“We want to go more mainstream but stick to what we do, ... Every place we go, the people are receptive with the style of music were doing. And even if we go into a club setting, were still singing about God. We want to be the people that change the trends of whats acceptable and whats not. We believe its in our music, really. And I think its the music thats touched everyone when they deal with us.”

“I lost a big part of me. Thats what inspired me to take our music outside.”

The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band, but now they are really another band, so its all a bit weird.
