Our Take

SAVOY BROWN - Blue Matter (1969)

Rating: 8.5

Here at the intersection of gritty blues and psychedelic rock lies a gem that is as bold and electrifying as a neon sign on a rainy night. SAVOY BROWN's Blue Matter is a sonic journey through the depths of raw emotion and blistering guitar solos that will leave you both contemplative and head banging in equal measure.

From the haunting wails of Kim Simmonds' guitar to the soulful vocals of Chris Youlden, this album is a masterclass in blues-rock fusion. Tracks like "Born Into Pain" and "Train to Nowhere" showcase the band's ability to weave intricate melodies with searing riffs, creating a sound that is both familiar yet undeniably fresh.

So grab your air guitar and get ready to be transported to a smoky dive bar where the drinks are strong, the crowd is rowdy, and the music is pure magic. Blue Matter is a timeless classic that proves why SAVOY BROWN are icons of the blues-rock genre.

SAVOY BROWN - A Step Further (1969)

Rating: 9.0

If Blue Matter was a shot of whiskey, then A Step Further is a full-on rock and roll brawl. SAVOY BROWN's sophomore album is a rollicking ride through blistering riffs, pounding rhythms, and enough attitude to make even the most jaded music snob crack a smile.

From the opening notes of "Made Up My Mind" to the thunderous finale of "I'm Tired," this album is a relentless onslaught of pure rock and roll energy. Kim Simmonds' guitar work is nothing short of electrifying, while the tight-knit rhythm section of Dave Peverett and Roger Earl provides a solid foundation for the band's fiery sound.

Tracks like "Waiting in the Bamboo Grove" and "Life's One Act Play" showcase SAVO

About the artist

Savoy Brown

Ah, the legendary blues rock band Savoy Brown. If you haven't heard of them, then you must have been living under a rock - and not a funky, bluesy rock, mind you. These guys have been tearing up the music scene since the '60s, and they show no signs of slowing down. Led by the enigmatic Kim Simmonds, Savoy Brown has a sound that's as gritty as a London alleyway and as smooth as a well-aged scotch. With their wailing guitars, pounding drums, and soulful vocals, they've got a sound that'll make you want to stomp your feet and shake your hips. But don't let their vintage sound fool you - these guys are still as fresh and relevant as ever. Their latest album, "City Night," is a testament to their staying power, with tracks that blend classic blues with modern rock sensibilities. When you see Savoy Brown live, you know you're in for a treat. Simmonds is a virtuoso on the guitar, effortlessly shredding through solos that'll make your jaw drop. And with a rhythm section that's as tight as a pair of skinny jeans, their live shows are nothing short of electrifying. So if you're looking for a band that's equal parts nostalgia and innovation, look no further than Savoy Brown. Whether you're a seasoned blues fan or a newbie looking to expand your musical horizons, these guys have got something for everyone. So grab a pint, turn up the volume, and let Savoy Brown take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers!
