First of the "all-star" albums. George ended up playing on many of Alvin's albums. The most poignant being his slide intro on "I Want You, She's So Heavy," from the album 1994.

[winny1203]

Braddy,, you are correct on BOTH of these assertions. And as an aside, George's slide guitar is credited to his alias, Hari Georgeson.

[braddyboy82]

George Harrison actually plays the slide guitar on this one, if I am not mistaken. And I think chronologically, this song came out BEFORE George Harrison's (albeit George wrote it) version.

[hon1kings]

This album is amazing!! Just buy it if you find it!!

[drafishy]

I used to have this album; all the songs are great on this.

[klbrist]

Great version of George Harrison's tune

[factfinder1000]

ML started with the Lefevre Family, a gospel family group...FYI. Did you know...AL and ML were backed on this by a man using the name Harry Georgeson (George Harrison)? Harrison used the other name so AL and ML wouldn't have to pay his full price for his services.

[winny1203]

Factfinder,

While you are correct about George playing Slide under his alias Hari Georgeson, you are incorrect that the reason was "so they wouldn't have to pay full price for his services". Firstly, s session musician simply receives the "scale" wage for musicians, and famous musicians do it purely for the enjoyment anyway. The reason he, just like John Lennon (Winston O. Boogie), and Dylan (Robert "Milkwood" Thomas & "Blind Boy" Grunt) use aliases, is to revel in the humor and anonymity of it

[deddog]

WOW. Nuff said.

[MrSjong]

So beautyfull ! Great guys playing with so much emotionel atmosphere.

[RROBERTSON1207]

These guys were perfect together. I loved this album then and I love it jusy as much today! Ahead of there time..........so sad Rebecca

Saw Mylon in 72 in Detroit opening for Ten Years After.Mylon closed with Gospel Ship,never seen so many Detroit Rockers going nuts over a gospel song.Being raised in a Detroit Southern Baptist home (we went to Temple Baptist on Michigan Ave) I had heard the song many times,but never quite like Mylon`s version. It was a moment for me,I was being Rocked at Church,if you been to a Baptist Church in those days,that just never happened,3 Encores for Mylon was totally deserved, Great Show

[tralfazyech]

@motownharry Thanks for the great Detroit memories! Got to to see Alvin Lee finally a couple times at Cobo. Was during the Ten Years Later years. I remember Temple Baptist at West Chicago and Telegraph. Again thanks and have always loved this album. Take care!

[mssuziecreamcheese]

wow.. I used to have this LP... long ago and far away...

[jim5353]

love this version. so well done.

[scartissue94]

Hey, how about commenting on the song itself than comparing it to other versions? At least George wrote it in the first place.

[kenthesoulman]

I had this album...what amazing music early 70s gave us. George wrote some of the tunes on the album, under Harri Georgeson. Through the years Ive seen Alvin and Mylon and they still have unique voices and amazing presence.

[dafflad1]

Oh yeah , by far the best version Ever -

[editdave]

Thanks so much for posting this! I haven't heard this version of SO SAD since it came out in '73. Great song!

[elrip1]

And don't forget george harrison on slide wow! best album of all time

[Notofagus25]

Yes true - rare & beautiful - the whole Album.

[soarbird]

What a find, what a gem.

Than You!

[askmeicare]

Mylon Lefevre and BrokenHeart!

[xmystic7]

Love Mylon but he was NOT in ARS

[fkngrvnmj]

Thank you. He did sing vocals on ARS third album but he was not a member.

[frankj1968]

@xmystic7 Some of the original members of ARS were in Mylons band

[xmystic777]

@frankj1968

Well, they played on his first album.

[randy95023]

Rare and beautiful. Thanks so much for posting this!

[lcastleberry]

anyone have the title track...on the road to freedom?  What a great album. Thanks for this posting.

[Greenthigh]

A much better version than George's own.

[MrAngemystere]

Better than George's?? Nope. I don't think so at all. George's featured much more textured acoustic/electric guitar interplay, and his distintive slide as well. Although, George plays a lovely accompanying slide on this one.

But Lee's is a very good version, and his singing is more at ease than George's take.

[1stringbroke]

That's Mylon singing (lead).

[MrAngemystere]

Correction duly noted. But however good Lee and Mylon's version is, and it is an affecting, plaintive lament that has a countrified soulman feel to it, I still think George's version is better.
