Yeah he was the frontman, the singer, the amazing guitar player, etc, but the other guys are damn fine musicians (Leo Lyons is an AMAZING bass player) and new frontman Joe Gooch has a great voice and is quite an axe slinger himself. And don't dismiss the new albums without Alvin Lee just because 'it can't be TYA without Alvin'. If you dig that stuff try branching out to the early stuff and in chronological order to see them progress.

That is the album that turned me onto them, after dismissing them as a boring boogie band after seeing the Woodstock movie with Going Home. The whole album is a really good live album. If you dig those I recommend moving on to the live stuff like Recorded Live (1973) - side three of that LP is quite orgasmic if you dig live jamming, I Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes is pretty amazing, and so is Slow Blues in C on 'side 4' (I listened to that record so many times I still think of it as album sides). Depending on your tastes I recommend starting with Cricklewood Green and A Space In Time, which I think are their best studio albums, those have the best songs on them IMO of course. The early records are more bluesbased then they start getting more accessible/melodic/rock oriented with Cricklewood Green in 1970. Am not into rockabilly which is what Alvin sounded like to me in recent years so I stopped getting his albums.ītw, Andy Powell of Wishbone Ash dedicated a song to Alvin last night at a show I was at (the song was 'Surface to Air' from Front Page News - first time I've ever seen Ash do that song, it's new to the setlist this year).Ĭlick to expand.Check out their wikipedia entry for an album list and some background to get you started. I have most but not all of Alvin's solo stuff. Was the USA LP on CBS? For some reason it seems to me like it was but I can't remember for sure.īy the way, do you have the 24KT+ Gold CD mastered by our host Steve Hoffman?Īs far as the poll Question goes I have every album TYA has released (including the ones with Joe Gooch on vocals/guitar which also I like very much). Started with it on cassette, then bought the LP, then the regular USA CD, then the AF CD. Reel to reel tapes, cartridges, cassettes, records, cds, digital downloads.? How many copies of the album have you owned over the years: Original Chrysalis CD and the AF (which I just got recently, have not even listened to it yet). How many copies of the album do you have now?

Though not as consistent as Cricklewood Green, A Space in Time has its share of sparkling moments.Do you own the 'A Space in Time' album by Ten Years After? The production on A Space in Time is crisp and clean, a sound quite different from the denseness of its predecessors. Many of the cuts make effective use of dynamic shifts, and the guitar solos are generally more understated than on previous outings. After the opener, however, the album settles back into a more relaxed mood than one would have expected from Ten Years After. The leadoff track, 'One of These Days,' is a particularly scorching workout, featuring extended harmonica and guitar solos. However, there are still a couple of barn-burning jams. In fact, six of the disc's ten songs are built around acoustic guitar riffs. The individual cuts are shorter, and Alvin Lee displays a broader instrumental palette than before.

TYA's first album for Columbia, A Space in Time has more of a pop-oriented feel than any of their previous releases had. This was due primarily to the strength of 'I'd Love to Change the World,' the band's only hit single, and one of the most ubiquitous AM and FM radio cuts of the summer of 1971.

A Space in Time was Ten Years After's best-selling album.
