Ten Years After (Official Thread)

[Sox]

The live album gave folk a chance to hear the jazzier side to Ten Years After.

I MAY BE WRONG, BUT I WON'T BE WRONG ALWAYS


There is also elements of Boogie and Rock 'N' Roll. On the whole less of a bluesy album than the first but showcasing the different facets of the live act.

There is also a psychedelic flavour to Stonedhenge but the best known track is the centerpiece "Hear Me Calling" with Mike Vernon helping out on the backing vocals.

Bad Scene

 

[Sweaty]

Great band SOX, I have a few of their albums, I see they have a new album out, would like to see what they sound like now with the new guitarist, here is one of my faves...

Skoobly-Oobly-Doobob


I haven't played them in a while maybe I should dig them out again.

 

[Sox]

^^^ I've heard some great reports about the Joe Gooch input Sweat, he's a solid guitar player by all accounts. Here's another pearler off Ssssh ...

Stoned Woman

 

[Sweaty]

Classic track Sox, they should be knighted for their services to music

 

[Sox]

^^^ They should be rewarded big time for their 5th album Sweat. 1970 saw the release of "Cricklewood Green". Again some blistering Blues/Rock, Alvin is leading the way with some swift and niffty fretwork. There are some killer moments on this album and I just love the opener.



Sugar the Road

I've inherited an old vinyl copy of "A Space In Time", in the boxes of LP's my brother left with Dad decades ago now. I was so excited when I saw it I took it out of the sleeve, plopped it on the Turntable and played it...but it's totally ruined I think. There is a constant glitch/noise that is just too obvious and you can't concentrate on the music.

I will keep it until I get my Nitty Gritty record cleaning machine, and see if that helps but more than likely I'll have to order a new or used copy, I have the CD and it's good and to be honest I can't make a comparison to the record because of the poor condition of the vinyl.
