Arthur Lee - Rock legend hits the road again LOVE IS ALL
AROUND AGAIN!


LOVE’s legendary frontman ARTHUR LEE, weeks out of prison
after a stint for weapon possession, is set to tour and
record an album in Europe this summer, NME.COM can reveal.

Lee was released from a Californian jail last December after
serving six years of an 11 year sentence. In 1996, he was
convicted of possession of a firearm by an ex-felon and also
grossly negligent discharge of a firearm for allegedly
shooting a gun in the air during a dispute with a neighbour.


The cult icon has served time on the possession charge, but
the negligence charged was turned over after a federal
appeals court ruled the prosecutor in the original trial was
guilty of misconduct.

Though there was some fear that he would face a new trial,
Lee is due back at the California Circuit Appeals Court in
mid-March when he is expected to be officially released for
time served.

"I am rehearsing with my backing band [L.A.-based pop trio]
Baby Lemonade and I expect to start an extensive European
tour with them sometime in the early Summer," Lee told
NME.COM. "I plan to use live horns and strings on this tour
as well as record my new album which will probably be in
Europe."

Lee said he preferred to work far from his Los Angeles base
because "everybody knows that Europeans are just smarter -
right?"

Love ruled the Los Angeles psychedelic rock & roll roost in
the mid-60s. It was Lee, already signed to Elektra, who
suggested the label scoop up The Doors.

Lee says another project he is working on is his
autobiography ‘Love Volume One’. In its pages, Lee
promises to deliver the goods, "like my personal
relationship with Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and the people
who have shared the name Love with me and others who shared
that time period."

Lee added that despite his sojourn behind bars, his tail was
up. "I love playing music," he said. "I love turning people
on and seeing them have a good time. I love it as much now a
