Flesh & Blood. Second album i ever got!
It was my birthday, I must have been 6 or maybe 7, I wanted the Alice Cooper's single... and I got the Band instead
Great Album, but i've only ever seen terrible live footage.

Not a cd, but one of the best things I bought that was a big influence and a bit of a taste changing moment, was a double video set in 1997 called Albert Lee Country Legend, no dvd or internet purchasing back then, cost over $100 and I had to send away for it from the US and it took 8 months! Now its on dvd and its just amazing. I just watched it over and over and marvelled at the fluency of AL's playing, and realizing how mighty cool it would be to jam over those uptempo tunes, he does it with ease and taste!!!!
