46. I would go for

Sun Apr 26, 2026, 08:47 PM

Sunday

"Bluest Blues". The added attraction being George Harrison doing the first slide solo in the song. The rest is Alvin Lee. While the song is more a blues ballad/blues rock than purely a rock song. As far as rock I would say this is pretty good from "Night of The Guitars". I always felt that the music critics who didn't like Alvin over some others never gave him credit for not being a guy to "pedal" as opposed to play, bend, slide, sustain. I appreciate the players who give it to me from their fingers rather than their feet. I'm not snobby about it I just prefer one more than the other. "Lost In Love" is pretty good as well.
