The 448-page tome is available now exclusively from Lee's official website, RicLeeTYA.com.
"It was something I'd always wanted to do, and I actually started it more than 10 years ago, but kept stopping and starting for various reasons," Lee explains in a statement. "Then a chance conversation with a friend in Los Angeles persuaded me to get it finished."

"It was something I'd always wanted to do, and I actually started it more than 10 years ago, but kept stopping and starting for various reasons," Lee explains in a statement. "Then a chance conversation with a friend in Los Angeles persuaded me to get it finished."
Ten Years After was led by singer guitarist Alvin Lee and had a series of popular albums in the late 1960s and early '70s. In the U.S., the band is best known for their scorching performing of "I'm Going Home" at the 1969 Woodstock Festival and their hit "I'd Love to Change the World," which peaked at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971.
Ric says some of the highlights in the book for him are "[m]y early days in bands in the Mansfield (my hometown) area, my stories about meeting people like Sir David Frost, Muhammad Ali, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Miles Davis and many others, and, of course, playing at Woodstock."
Lee adds that he hopes his memoir will "also be an inspiration to any aspiring young musicians to keep going against all adversity to finally win through."
While Alvin Lee died in 2013 at age 68 from heart surgery complications, Ten Years after has continued on and currently is led by Ric and founding keyboardist Chick Churchill. The band is working on a new studio effort that's due out later this year and is planning to release a deluxe version of its 2017 album A Sting in the Tale in March.

If I ever turn away If I cause you pain I'll make the tears you cry Like a river run dry Cos I feel your pain like it was my own My one and only prayer will be that our hearts will beat as one Refrain You're the air that I breathe The air that I breathe Take this empty life I lead Fill it with the love I need You're the air that I breathe The air that I breathe Now I'm like a bird on the wing Cos you unlocked the cage and set me free If the earth should fall away From beneath my feet Still I'd stand on solid ground Praise you for the love I found Tomorrow turns to yesterday But as my hair turns to grey Still I'll praise you for your saving grace Somehow, somewhere, someway (Round and round and back again) (No beginning and no end) Somehow, somewhere, someway (Round and round and back again)
