Ten Years After is the debut album by the English rock/blues band Ten Years After. It features "Spoonful", a cover that the British blues rock group Cream also covered. 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….
Collection includes: Ten Kens (2008); For Posterity (2010); Namesake - Expanded Edition (2013).
Ten Wheel Drive made their international debut at the first Atlanta Pop Festival in the incredible summer of 1969. Spearheaded by the powerhouse vocals of singer Genya Ravan the band and its wall of sound fusion of Rock, jazz and R&B took the stage and blow the audience away. By the time they finished an hour later, the band had created a genuine buzz, and Ravan was positioned to be the next big female rock star….Today, Genya is living back in New York City running Genya Ravan Productions. Says Ravan, "When I was helping PolyGram put together the songs for this anthology I had to go back and listen to stuff I hadn't heard in almost two decades. It suddenly dawned on me just how good we were as a band. We were doing stuff that was light years ahead of what others were doing at the time."
This superbly recorded double disc (the original engineer was Eddie Kramer, best-known for his work with Hendrix) captured over a weekend worth of dates in February 1970 at the venerable New York City venue catches the Brit boogie quartet at the peak of their powers. These shows were sandwiched between their triumphant Woodstock set and the release of Cricklewood Green, generally considered the band's best work. They find the group primed through years of roadwork, as well as obviously excited to be playing in front of an appreciative N.Y.C. crowd…
After five years of promises, Ten Years After finally release their first live DVD with the new line up, "Live At Fiesta City". Recorded at the Fiesta City Festival in Verviers, Belgium on August 30th 2008, in front of a 5000 capacity crowd, it is a great showcase of the band's talents in a live environment. What you see is exactly what happened that night: no technical doctoring, no overdubs, just TYA at their finest. Included on the DVD as added bonuses are interviews with each band member, biographies, plus a photo montage synchronized to "I Think It's Gonna Rain All Night".
