Ten Years After - Ten Years After ( D1 )

Ten Years After is the debut album by the English blues rock band Ten Years After. It was one of the first blues rock albums released by British musicians. The album is also low on original material in comparison to the band's later works which were, in most cases, entirely composed of Alvin Lee's songs.

It features "Spoonful", a Howlin' Wolf song (written for him by Willie Dixon) that the Britishblues rock group Cream covered as well (on their albums Fresh Cream and Wheels of Fire).
