"Too Many Years" is a Jorma Kaukonen studio album released in August, 1998. It was his last studio album on Relix Records. Michael Falzarano returned to play guitar and to help produce as he did on the previous Kaukonen solo album. Falzarano was the only returning performer, and the keyboard work was now handled by former Jefferson Starship keyboardist Pete Sears, who had been playing with Hot Tuna in the late 90s. The three together called themselves the "Jorma Kaukonen Trio" and began to perform live together, recording a live album for Relix in 1999 and releasing it in 2001, "Jorma Kaukonen Trio Live".
