Reply #20: Yep. I think it was indeed about 1970.

They had a song called "Chicago Northwestern" that was so heavy it'd sink straight down through a concrete floor. It even had a peddle steel guitar in it, screaming and whining, and I didn't even mind that. It actually worked. And ordinarily I HATE peddle steel guitar (the soupy country music kind). A somewhat gross album cover - girl posing surrounded by fruit, with some of it smashed into her mouth and dribbling down her chin. Fun, though.

I discovered the group during a shopping trip in London when my parents took me on vacation before I graduated high school (one of those last big family vacations before the kid goes off to college). It was playing in this boutique where I flirted with this cute guy behind the counter who looked a lot like Mick Taylor. Sigh... Those were the days.

I love Ten Years After. Their "Space in Time" album was my favorite. But "Let the Sky Fall" isn't on the CD version, so I'm glad I still have the vinyl.
