Ten Years After  by Ten Years After

Ten Years After from the city of Nottingham release their self-titled debut a year after their formation. The Ten Years After of 1967 will place Alvin Lee's band in the British blues rock scene. The album was recorded in September 1967 and released by Decca Records in October of the same year.

Ten Years After present a record consisting either of song covers or of the first compositional efforts of Alvin Lee and the other members of the band. Among the covers that the band presents, the cover of Willie Dixon's Spoonful and the cover/adaptation of Blind Willie Johnson's Lord I Just Can't Keep From Crying from 1929 stand out (!). The album's production includes Mike Vernon and Gus Dudgeon.

The album went unnoticed when it was first released, but it was the starting point for one of the most significant blues rock bands in Great Britain.
