"I'm usually not one to complain about the sound quality of music but Tommy Johnson deserved so much better. From the first track you can tell that Johnson was a great musician but sadly most of his recordings weren't preserved so well so most are unlistenable. it's a shame. Cool Drink Of Water Bl..."  [+]  Reply

"Ten Years After's eighth studio album "Rock & Roll Music To The World" from 1972 is possibly one of the group's least interesting.
