Artist: TEN YEARS AFTER
Album: WATT REMASTERED (CD)

Year: 1970/ 2008
Media type: CD

Watt was the sixth album released by the English blues rock band Ten Years After.

WATT was the band's last album recorded on the Deram label and is one of their best. It starts off with two typical Ten Years After jams, "I'm Coming On" and "My Baby Left Me", the latter becoming an FM radio hit. Side two begins with a short instrumental followed by "Gonna Run", a dark sounding tune, very unlike Alvin Lee's more bluesy sounding numbers. The album closes with a scorching live version of "Sweet Little Sixteen". It all changed for the band after this. Their next album, A SPACE IN TIME, would be recorded on a different label 4 months later and have a half a dozen acoustic guitar numbers that pale in comparison to this recording.

All songs written by Alvin Lee, unless otherwise noted.
