(PR) Although it's been 40 years since Ten Years After first took shape, the upcoming Anniversary Tour will show the quartet is still firing on all cylinders. "We're determined to give them as good a time as we have playing for them," says Lyons. "It's a real pleasure to be back on tour. We'll play a selection of the most requested songs from our earlier records plus new material from 'Now' (2004) and 'Roadworks' (2005). We'll also be slipping in some as-yet-unrecorded material. After the show we'll come out to meet our fans and sign any albums or CD's they bring along."

And if the upcoming tour wasn't enough to satisfy longtime fans, Lee unveiled that the group is also currently hard at work on an all-new studio set. "Writing is going on as we speak, and a new album should surface in early 2008. The music will no doubt still have a blues base but will move forward from where 'Now' and 'Roadworks' left off." After the 40th Anniversary Tour winds down, Ten Years After plans on finishing off the forthcoming album, before.hitting the road again, says Lyons. "The 40th Anniversary tour runs until May 2008 and travels all over the world. It's a heavy commitment. We plan to release at least one DVD and one studio CD. After that I guess we'll start the 41st Anniversary tour. We all enjoy playing."
