TEN YEARS AFTER - Ten Years After (Full Album 1967)

“Ten Years After” is the debut album by the English blues rock band Ten Years After. It was one of the first blues rock albums released by British musicians. The album is also low on original material in comparison to the band's later works which were, in most cases, entirely composed of Alvin Lee's songs.
It features "Spoonful", a Howlin' Wolf song (written for him by Willie Dixon) that the British blues rock group Cream covered as well (on their albums “Fresh Cream” and “Wheels of Fire”).

“Ten Years After” este albumul de debut al trupei engleze de blues rock Ten Years After. Este unul dintre primele albume de blues rock lansate de muzicienii britanici. Albumul este de asemenea slab in materie de material original, in comparative cu albumele ulterioare ale trupei, pe care, in cele mai multe cazuri, cantecele sunt compuse de catre Alvin Lee.
Albumul contine piesa “Spoonful”, un cantec al lui Howlin’ Wolf (scris pentru el de catre Willie Dixon), cantec ce a fost preluat si de grupul de blues rock Cream (pe albumele lor “Fresh Cream” si “Wheels of Fire”).
