Our Take

TEN YEARS AFTER's "Best Of The Early Years" is a nostalgic trip down memory lane, back to a time when bellbottoms and flower power reigned supreme. This compilation album showcases the band's signature blend of blues, rock, and a touch of psychedelic flair, making it a must-listen for fans of 60s and 70s music.

From the opening track "I'm Going Home" to the gritty blues of "Love Like a Man," this album perfectly captures the raw energy and soulful vocals that made TEN YEARS AFTER a household name. Guitar virtuoso Alvin Lee shines throughout, his blistering solos and electrifying stage presence setting him apart from his peers.

But it's not just Lee's showmanship that steals the spotlight on this album. The rhythm section of Leo Lyons on bass and Ric Lee on drums provide a solid foundation for the band's sonic explorations, while keyboardist Chick Churchill adds a touch of psychedelia to the mix.

While some tracks may feel dated to modern listeners, there's no denying the timeless appeal of songs like "I'd Love to Change the World" and "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl." So grab your lava lamp, slip on your platforms, and let TEN YEARS AFTER take you on a groovy trip back in time.

Overall, "Best Of The Early Years" is a solid collection of tracks that showcases the band's evolution from bluesy rockers to psychedelic trailblazers. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to their music, this album is sure to leave you tapping your toes and craving more of that classic TEN YEARS AFTER sound. So turn up the volume and let the good times roll!
