Ten Years After

High-velocity blues rock defined by Alvin Lee's lightning-fast guitar work and a gritty, late-sixties basement energy. Restless, electric, and unapologetically raw.

Find on Amazon

It's the record where Alvin Lee proves he's the fastest gun in the West (Midlands).

A high-tension blend of traditional blues reverence and the aggressive, electrified energy of the late-sixties underground.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The frantic, double-time guitar solo in 'Stoned Woman' that feels like it might fly off the rails.
The heavy, distorted boogie rhythm of 'The Stomp' that anchors the album's most primal energy.
The transition from the acoustic-led 'Two Time Mama' into the electrified sprawl of the later tracks.
