A Sting in the Tale

Ten Years After

A seasoned blend of road-worn blues and polished classic rock. It trades the frantic speed of the past for a soulful, mid-tempo mastery of the craft.

A dignified and soulful reflection on a half-century of blues-rock history.

Moments Worth Listening For
The poignant, self-referential guitar solo on Guitar Hero that serves as a direct nod to Alvin Lee's shadow.
The driving, locomotive rhythm section on Iron Horse that recaptures the band's classic 1970s momentum.
The surprisingly tender acoustic opening of Miss Constable that pivots into a soulful mid-tempo groove.
