Ten Years After

If it's live performances from British classic rockers you're in the mood for, Rhino's got you covered this fall.

Alvin Lee, the virtuoso guitarist and singer of Ten Years After, has died at the age of 68 according to a message posted by his family to his official website this morning (March 6).

Alvin Lee's old band Ten Years After wake things up on today's Vinyl Vault with the rarely heard Choo Choo Mama, a hit for the band from their last big album, Rock N Roll Music to the World, in 1972.  It's always a pleasure to dig these guys out, especially when someone asks for something other than the norm...

Any rock fan from the late 60's and early 70's (like me) would know all about Ten Years After.  Alvin Lee and crew were one of the top concert draws from that period thanks to that unforgettable Woodstock appearance and of course, Lee's lightning fast guitar work on many great albums that still hold up today...
