Ten Years After is the debut album by English blues rock band Ten Years After. Recorded at Decca Studios in London in September 1967, and released on 27 October 1967.

Contents

This album has less original material than the band's later works, most of which were composed entirely of Alvin Lee's songs. It features "Spoonful", a song written by Willie Dixon and recorded by Howlin' Wolf, which the British blues rock group Cream had covered the previous year on their debut album Fresh Cream , with an extended live version on their third album, Wheels of Fire (1968).

The band's cover of "I Can't Keep from Crying Sometimes" is based on Al Kooper's arrangement from the Blues Project's album Projections.
