Ten Years After: Recorded Live
Chris Welch, Melody Maker, 1973
WHERE IN 1973 will you still hear a band blowing over a chord structure that sounds not unlike 'Cat Squirrel' and song lyrics that refer to chicks wearing red dresses? Look ye no further than TYA, a band that have frozen in a time lock, with the controls set at around 1966.
