- I thought I was the only person who remembers Ten Years After. They were one of the best
- of the best blues-rock groups but, very unfortunately, I only found that
- quality on their first album, which I still have and enjoy as much as when I
- heard them AND Albert King (who just died) at the LA Coliseum in the late
- '60s. It's really a shame that later albums lacked the precise creativity of
- the first.
