Alvin shares the singing on this cd with Gould and you can tell the difference immediately. Still a very good CD but i'd still like to hear Alvin at the vocals on all tracks. Well worth the money.

I felt like the C/D wasn't finished. Some of it was great, but the sound and mix were not quite there.

5.0 out of 5 stars His masterwork, February 15, 2001

For me RX5 is the best Alvin Lee solo album. It's no blues album but a mix of excellent Mainstream Rock. The Songwriting has never been better. His guitarwork is great and very emotional. It's an album that wins the more often you listen to it. It's a pity that it was never a commercial success. Alvin Lee tried very hard to produce a hit album. His old fans were disappointed because his blues roots were hardly to hear.
