Alvin Lee & Ten Years Later - Gonna Turn You On

Alvin Lee- gtr, voc; Mick Hawksworth- bass; Tom Compton- drums from the album: Rocket Fuel (1978) Alvin says… this was by Ten Years Later with Tom Compton on drums and Mick Hawksworth on bass and is from the album ‘Rocket Fuel’ from 1978. This was when I got back into playing heavy Rock’n’Roll after the ‘In Flight’ era. It’s a good raving number and Tom was a dynamic drummer. He used to kick me in the pants and lift me in the air. He was like Animal in the Muppets with a mad look in his eyes. He had a huge drum kit and it was a bit like going back to the TYA kind of high-energy stuff. We used to play this as the opening number in our set.
