I Want To Know/I Can’t Keep From Crying Sometimes/Adventures Of A Young Organ/Spoonful/Losing The Dogs/ Feel It For Me/Love Until I Die/Don’t Want You Woman/Help Me
Self titled debut album from Nottingham based blues drenched band Ten Years After. Although it failed to chart the group built up a loyal following from their extensive gigs that would yield commercial dividends with their subsequent releases.
"A very good blues-rock album with some fine playing, although never quite as intense as the heights Alvin Lee and Ten Years After would reach on some later releases. This is surprisingly mellow and jazzy much of the time, which has its own charm."
"Blues rock fans should checkout one of the best debut LPs of all time. We are talking 1967 - awesome mix of blues, rock and a bit of jazz. Simple dynamic recording leaps out of the speakers the way it should - no studio trickery."
"A fine blend of rock, blues, jazz and psychedelia. Recommended.”
"Ten Years After´s debut album is a great mix of blues, rock and jazz. Another masterpiece from 1967. I'm very glad that I bought this. I love blues. The more you hear it, the more you want it. This album is perfect, but still some unbelievable songs do stand out. Covers I Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes, Spoonful and Help Me are mind-blowing. Originals I Want To Know, Losing The Dogs and Feel It For Me are as good too. No weak songs. Alvin Lee and company are way too underrated."
"Excellent debut album from 1967 with my absolutely favourite I Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes. The young Alvin Lee did a great guitar job here. A wonderful essential blues rock album. Great release."
"Ten Years After were simply amazing. This is their self titled debut. It is not as strong as their next ones, but still it remains a must for any serious fan, and will satisfy anyone else who decides to add this small diamond to their collection. This album was not a success back in 1967, but it contains all those elements that turned TYA into one of the greatest blues-rock acts of their time. Great blues tunes and brilliant guitar solos by one of the greatest guitarists. Half the songs here are covers but the result is fine and that is what counts."
