Wow! Great to hear these guys again. I date myself to say this but, I saw them live in Detroit at the Eastown Theatre (an old theatre with the sloped floors & all seats removed) on the same bill with Albert King and B.B.King. Might've been 1969. Probably their first north american tour. There was a blues resurgence going on. They opened the show, and everyone's eyes and ears!

I love hearing 60's stuff I've never heard—-heard about them, but never any of their stuff.

Wow.  The Wiki page is an interesting read.  32 albums and a total of 45 various group members over the years.

Are you channeling romeotuma?  {#Roflol} This really is a great song, though... Savoy Brown was a little ahead of their time, I think - and now is the right time for them! {#Bounce}

The Green God was never in Savoy Brown. He replaced EC in Mayall's Bluesbreakers before leaving to form Fleetwood Mac.

Dave Walker did SB vocal duties after Chris Youlden left. Walker was briefly with Fleetwood Mac during their Penguin LP days, but Mick subsequently felt he wasn't quite a right fit.

Youlden has a couple of solo releases. I've listened to them a couple of times because I really like Chris, but they're nothing like his work with SB.

SB is Kim Simmonds group, so a visit to http://www.savoybrown.com tells you about everything related to SB and Simmonds' solo projects.

Savoy Brown has served as a sort of springboard for musicians to jump to other bands, like Peter Green to Fleetwood Mac, Andy Pyle to the Kinks, Stan Webb to Chicken Shack, Paul Raymond to UFO, and of course the Foghat connection ect.
S.B. is considered a British Blues Band in Europe, while many here in the US think of them as straight on R & R.  The innovative rock and roll they created has influenced hundreds of great musicians, and I hear they still tour although I have no idea who "they" are
after all these years.. The memories from their past work lives on and on.

A sweet part of a funky, smooth 60's infused set this morning. An RP morning, to be sure.

This song is kind of like Three Dog Night meets Sonic Youth.
