The Blues is a funny genre in that no matter how much it changes, it can always be reduced to an incredibly simple formula. Electric Blues also abides by this rule; don't let those fuckers in the Black Keys fool you, ever since B.B. King and Howlin Wolf stepped onstage in Chicago shit has changed.
Alvin Lee, Lead Guitarist and Vocalist, of Ten Years After seems dutifully aware of this situation. Most critics regard the album Watt as mediocre at best, citing another album Cricklewood Green, as a more inventive and complete work of Electric Blues. Since we are all entitled to our own opinions on these matters, I thought I'd let you all decide for yourselves. So without futher hullabaloo, I present it to you.
