Born Graham Barnes in Nottingham England, Alvin Lee took up guitar at the age of thirteen. By the age of fifteen he had formed the group Jaybirds. Following in the footsteps of earlier beat groups such as the Beatles, the Jaybirds played the clubs in Hamburg, Germany to great local acclaim. On returning to London in 1966, the group changed its name to Ten Years After.
Ten Years After scored hits with many albums and became a popular touring band. The band gained note in America after their appearance at Woodstock in 1969.
Lee's guitar work on ‘I’m Going Home’ on the 'Woodstock' album and film remains a standard for many rock guitarists to emulate.
Ten Years After played a mix of rock and blues tinged with jazz. In 1973, Lee left Ten Years After to pursue a solo career.
His first work was a collaborative effort with American gospel singer Mylon LeFevre on an album entitled On The Road To Freedom; other artists on the album included George Harrison, Mick Fleetwood and Steve Winwood. A year later he formed the band Alvin Lee & Company and released a double live album recorded at the Rainbow in London, In Flight.
Lee continued to record albums and play live until his death in 2013, thrilling audiences with his guitar virtuoso and nimble fingered fret work.
Having recorded over twenty albums, some of the key solo works Alvin Lee has recorded are:
1973 On The Road To Feedom

My Baby's Come Back to Me
Alvin Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her voice gave a little quaver, when she tried to say good bye
Then the days grew dim, and the nights turned cold
My mind was as black as coal
She just walked back into my life, and brought a smile in my soul
My baby's come back to me
Ain't got the blues no more
The blues is out the door
My baby's come back to me
My baby's come back to me
She makes me feel so good
She was thinkin' about the future, she didn't see a light
The sadness of a love, that she didn't feel was right
She had to get away, and work her feelings through
She made the right decision, she knew what she must do
My baby's come back to me
Ain't got the blues no more
My baby's come back to me
The blues is out the door
My baby's come back to me
My baby's come back to me
She makes me feel so good
Yeah
My baby's come back to me
Ain't got the blues no more
Mmmm y baby's come back to me
The blues is out the door
My baby's come back to me
My baby's come back to me
She makes me feel so good
She makes me feel so good

Last time I saw her, there was a tear in her eye
When I last met her, she was upset and crying
Her voice gave a little quaver, when she tried to say good bye
She struggled to speak while saying goodbye
Then the days grew dim, and the nights turned cold
The following days and nights were depressing and sad
My mind was as black as coal
I was completely consumed by darkness and despair
She just walked back into my life, and brought a smile in my soul
Her return made me happy and content inside
My baby's come back to me
My lover has returned to me
Ain't got the blues no more
No longer am I sad or depressed
The blues is out the door
All my negative feelings have been replaced with positive ones
She makes me feel so good
Being with her fills me with joy and happiness
She was thinkin' about the future, she didn't see a light
She was concerned about the future and couldn't see a positive outcome
The sadness of a love, that she didn't feel was right
She was unhappy with a relationship that she felt was not right for her
She had to get away, and work her feelings through
She needed to take time to think and understand her emotions
She made the right decision, she knew what she must do
She made the correct choice and knew what actions she had to take
Mmmm y baby's come back to me
My lover has returned to me
She makes me feel so good
Being with her fills me with joy and happiness

Last time I saw her, there was a tear in her eye
Her voice gave a little quaver, when she tryed to say good bye
Then the days grew dim, and the nights turned cold
My mind was as black as coal
She just walked back into my life, and brought a smile in my soul
My baby's come back to me - ain't got the blues no more
My baby's come back to me - the blues is out the door
My baby's come back to me - My baby's come back to me
She makes me feel so good
She was thinkin' about the future, she didn't see a light
The sadness of a love, that she didn't feel was right
She had to get away, and work her feelings through
She made the right decision, she knew what she must do
My baby's come back to me - ain't got the blues no more
My baby's come back to me - the blues is out the door
My baby's come back to me - My baby's come back to me
She makes me feel so good - yeah.
My baby's come back to me - ain't got the blues no more
Mmmm.....my baby's come back to me - the blues is out the door
My baby's come back to me - My baby's come back to me
She makes me feel so good
Wo....wo-wo....she makes me feel so good !
