Blues Deluxe That Never Dissapoints From A Band That Stayed Close To It's Sound Throughout November 18, 2005
Original Mixed Up-Kid (New York United States)
16 out of 19 found this review helpful
A hard rocking blues statement that is perhaps TYA's defining album. SSSH! was in a way their last "all" blues album relying on some great covers and originals with Alvin Lee firmly in control as leader.
This album preceeded the greatness of the Cricklewood Green album which took off commercially as a bluesy, English,Jazzy,folk and rock and roll album showcasing them into superstardom(of the day) Their psychedelic explorations of sound and texture took off with Cricklewood but shades of these studio explorations are found in all their past works but Ssssh!
is all primal blues and in a way their most true blue record.
All their remasters are very good.
Some of the best blues-rock you'll ever hear. January 31, 2008

If you're gonna start with Ten Years After, I'd say just go for the best and get this album. It has everything you need:Roaring vocals, searing guitarwork, thundering grooves, and an overall a**-kicking vibe. The album lets loose right from the getgo with Bad Scene, a song that predates punk rock by about 7 years. The sudden changes and different riffs on the song would normally faulter in another band, but on here, its just really groovy and psychdelic in a good way. Stoned Woman and Good Morning Little Schoolgirl are both firey rockers, the latter having one of the most intense guitar and bass solos I've ever heard. These guys make Cream sound like sissypants.
Also, you got a few nice sounding ballads such as I Don't Know That You Don't Know My Name, the soul of If You Should Love Me, and the country-tinged Two Time Mama. On top of that, you have some good old fashioned blues rock such as the John Lee Hooker-based Stomp, and the basic, but still memorable I Woke Up This Morning.
This is Ten Years After at their finest. For those of you who couldn't get enough of them on the Woodstock movie, get this album. You can't go wrong.

I grew up with this album. I wore out the grooves and the cover was worn and dog earred, but there is no album I ever owned that was as much a part of my growing up. It planted the seeds for a long evolving appreciation of the blues. I would not listen to Robert Johnson and Big Mama Thornton for 20 more years - but I know it all started here - in 8th grade. I don't think I even knew what the blues was when I was in 8th grade, but I knew I liked this. I bought it for the cover only - it looked cool. They certainly weren't getting radio play that I had heard. I had never heard anything like Good Morning Little School Girl or "I woke up this morning", but my favorite was and is, the Stomp. Rock On Alvin.
 make sure you get the remaster May 28, 2009

Pay close attention to the review's title folks. The original issue CD sounds like it was made from a 25th generation cassette tape. I couldn't even listen to it. Luckily they dug up the masters and cleaned up the packaging for WAY better sound. As for the music, TYA fans and any bluesy rock fans in general should enjoy this.

Ten Years After along with Savoy Brown, Yardbirds, Spencer Davis, Fleetwood Mac and John Mayall were all big in the late 60's but none bigger than Ten Tears After and Alvin Lee on guitars and vocals. This album is truely a remarkable piece coming right after their first album "Ten Years After and "Undead" their second. It gives a great overall "feel" of their blues, jazz and rock and roll sound. I love the energy level and youthfulness of this work. This is a must have record in any British Blues, Ten Years After or Roots Rock collection.
And Stoned Woman, the third cut is actually an "anti drug" song. Outstanding guitar work, great song writing and they do a couple covers too! Great, great, great!
