One of the most noted of the progressive blues bands to emerge from the U.K.'s Summer Of Love in 1967, Ten Years After arguably reached its peak with its appearance at the Woodstock festival in 1969. The very next T.Y.A. album (1970 release), was CRICKLEWOOD GREEN contained the band's hit single, "Love Like a Man," as well as the timeless "Year 3,000 Blues" and some of the best bluesy guitar workouts yet courtesy of the virtuoso Alvin Lee, making Cricklewood Green famous - and provides the best example of Ten Years After's recorded sound. On this album, the band and engineer Andy Johns mixes studio tricks and sound effects overlapping blues-based song structures. Coupled by a driving rhythm section, and Alvin Lee's signature lightning-fast guitar licks into a unified album that flows nicely from start to finish. Cricklewood Green opens with a pair of bluesy rockers, with "Working on the Road" propelled by a guitar and organ riff that holds the listener's attention through the use of tape manipulation as the song develops. "50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain" and "Love Like a Man" are classics of Ten Year After's jam genre, with lyrically meaningless verses setting up extended guitar workouts that build in intensity, rhythmically and sonically. The latter was an FM-radio staple in the early '70s. "Year 3000 Blues" is a cool romp sprinkled with Lee's trippy lyrics, while "Me and My Baby" concisely showcases the band's complex licks better than any other Ten Years After studio track, and features a tasty keyboard solo by Chick Churchill. It has a feel similar to the extended pieces on side one of the live album Undead. "Circles" is a hippie-ish guitar piece, while "As the Sun Still Burns Away" closes the album by building on another classic guitar-organ riff and more sci-fi sound effects...
