To best describe Savoy Brown’s music, is basically your typical
\nboogie-woogie rock and roll. Savoy Brown featured 3 members (Dave
\nPeverett, Roger Earl and Tony Stevens) would later form another
\npopular rock-n-roll-boogie band, Foghat. Savoy Brown’s most
\nwell-known album is the 1971 release,
\nStreet Corner Talking<\/i>, which features two popular songs by
\nthe band, “Tell Mama”, and a great remake of The Temptations’
\n“Can’t Get Next To You”. The follow-up to this album, their 1972
\nrelease,
\nHellbound Train<\/i>, is just as good as their predecessor
\nalbum.<\/p>\n
The album leads off with a good boogie rocking song, “Doin’
\nFine”. It’s very bouncy, and gets you going. “Lost And Lonely
\nChild” is a much slower number, with a 1960s
\nprogressive\/psychedelic feel. This song has a sound similar to the
\nrock band Traffic.<\/p>\n
“I’ll Make Everything Alright” is another boogie song, but I
\nkind of like “Doin’ Fine” a bit better. “Alright” is a good song
\nthough, as it features a cool organ solo, kind of like Ray Manzarek
\nof The Doors, when The Doors recorded two albums after Jim Morrison
\ndied (
\nOther Voices<\/i>,
\nFull Circle<\/i>).<\/p>\n
“Troubled By These Days And Times” is another slow ballad, and
\nthis one has a gospel touch to it, with the piano and organ sounds
\nheard in church-gospel songs. This one kind of reminds me of the
\nvery early years of Joe Cocker’s career, and the vocal style
\nreminds me of the soulful ballads of David Clayton-Thomas &
\nBlood, Sweat & Tears. This song is very impressive from a band
\nknown for only playing boogie rock & roll.<\/p>\n
“If I Could See An End” returns the band in their boogie-woogie
\nrock form. Like “Doin’ Fine”, it’s another groovin’ head-bouncing
\ntune.<\/p>\n
“It’ll Make You Happy” has some soul in it, as this one is rock
\nmixed with blues, as in the style of a slow blues tune by
\nSteppenwolf. It also features some cool keyboard organ work.
\nLastly, the title track is mostly a slow rock number that has a
\ninstrumental jam at the end, and the comparison style of this song
\nis that of Paul Rodgers & Bad Company.<\/p>\n
\nHellbound Train<\/i> is a very impressive album to listen to. It
\ndoesn’t have as many rockin’ boogie tunes, but the slow songs heard
\nhere are just as great as the boogie numbers found on this album.
\nAll in all, this album is a runner-up to their best album,
\nStreet Corner Talking<\/i>, and if you’re a fan of late-Sixties
\nearly-Seventies music, you will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":27351,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[7273],"rating":[5646],"class_list":["post-38716","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-savoy-brown","rating-rating-a"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/38716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/38716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=38716"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=38716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
