British blues-rock guitarist Alvin Lee, who was best known for his performance with rock band Ten Years After at Woodstock in 1969, died at age 68. His family did not say the cause of his death.
The band’s song I’m Going Home, which featured Lee’s singing and extended guitar solos, opened the band to bigger audiences after it was included in the documentary Woodstock in 1970.
Ten Years After’s biggest hits followed Woodstock, including Love Like a Man in 1970 and I’d Love to Change the World in 1971.
Lee formed Ten Years After in 1966, but left the band in 1973, to focus on a solo career only to reform the group in 1988. He released 14 solo albums, the most recent was Still on the Road to Freedom in 2012.
