Ten Years After was one of the great bands in action between 1966 and 1975. Then ..
puff, they went up in smoke and never got back on track despite a 1983 reunion and later "resurrections".
Likely the highest point in their career, Woodstock 1969, with a scorching version of "I'm goin' home". Power blues withour a name. At the time Alvin Lee was on par with the likes of Clapton, Jeff Beck, Keith Richards and Page. Plus he could sing.
I'm 1975.
"Hear me calling" - call it what you want, brand it if you want, this is raw blues.
Speaking of raw blues ...
