Album Notes & Community Reviews

Riding the explosive wave of their legendary Woodstock performance, Ten Years After tightened their frantic blues-rock improvisations into a fiercely melodic, highly focused studio triumph. 'Cricklewood Green' is wonderfully warm and intensely energetic, matching Alvin Lee's lightning-fast guitar wizardry with deeply rhythmic, slightly psychedelic rock anthems and conscious political undertones.
