Album Review: "A terrific blues / psychedelic rock album."
This was Ten Years After's new release at the time of their incendiary performance
at the Woodstock Festival in August, 1969. As a result, it was their first hit album
in the U.S., peaking at number 20 in September of that year. This recording is a primer
of British blues-rock of the era, showcasing Alvin Lee's guitar pyrotechnics and the
band's propulsive rhythm section. As with most of TYA's work, the lyrics were throwaways,
but the music was hot. Featured is a lengthy cover of Sonny Boy Williamson's "Good Morning
Little Schoolgirl," with reworked lyrics leaving little doubt what the singer had in mind
for the title character. Also included was a twelve-bar blues song with the ultimate generic
blues title, "I Woke Up This Morning." Ssssh marked the beginning of the band's two-year run
of popularity on the U.S. album charts and in the "underground" FM-radio scene.
