Ten Years After - Ssssh
Alvin's talent shows through to the max. Besides TYA's first album recorded in 1967, Sssh would have to be one of their best albums.


A classic guitar swirl surrounded by smooth rock.
To summarise English rock then you have to obtain these albums. These albums are a must. The guitar swirls, fast solos, breath taking licks quickly followed by the sky line screaching wah wah slides, all underlinned by the professional Hammond, flowing bass and tight drums. This Uk outfit choose classics riffs and strong song writing to unleash a classic 60's / 70's sound. Very cool indeed. Oh by the way I was told by the keybordist that Cricklewood Green was the Grass there Rodie Grew in London, there should be a picture on the back.


As fresh a sound now as it was then.
You can almost see Alvin Lee dripping his sweat like he used to in his concerts. This combo release of what are 2 of the best albums this band produced is a joy to the ears. He is one remarkable guitar player. Shhhh is really grabs you and takes you for a fast ride. Cricklewood Green is such a mixture of sounds that the album has to be heard to be believed. Rock music was transforming itself in 1969-70 and this CD reveals its many faces. Green sounds like the Stones, the Guess Who, Hendrix and Creedence all rolled into one. A true GEM!.
