Kim Simmonds formed Savoy Brown in 1965. While there have been numerous personal changes, 55 years later, the band is still producing their brand of British electric blues. Ain\u2019t Done Yet <\/i>is the 41st album issued by the band.<\/p>\n
After five and a half decade, the band is who they are. Their brand of straight-ahead British blues has not changed much through the years. The songs are well constructed, and the melodies provide room for Simmonds\u2019 guitar excursions.<\/p>\n
The only change in the band\u2019s approach is the increasing simplicity of the music. Pat DeSalvo (bass) and Garnet Grimm (drums) have been with the band and since 2009 and form two-thirds of the first power trio in the band\u2019s history. Their continued presence has also given the band an important stability that has been missing many times in Savoy Brown\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Their new album is a solid album. \u201cAll Gone Wrong\u201d leads off the album in typical fashion. A thumping rhythm section, an established melody, and a guitar solo all add up to a typical introduction to the band\u2019s music. <\/p>\n
\u201cRiver On The Rise\u201d is a nice acoustic piece with a slide guitar dominating the track. It is a nice interlude between the more traditional blues songs. \u201cBorrowed Time\u201d is a track that lyrically fits Simmonds and the band\u2019s age. It looks ahead to the end of things and philosophically fits where Simmonds music is in life.<\/p>\n
\u201cJaguar Car\u201d is an entertaining and fun track. Early in the band\u2019s career, they toured with John Lee Hooker, and this track channels the old bluesman. It is a boogie piece and even includes some harp work by Simmonds.<\/p>\n
\u201cCrying Guitar\u201d closes the album with an instrumental. It is a slow and smoldering blues piece and is a nice counterpoint to what precedes it.<\/p>\n
Ain\u2019t Done Yet <\/i>is a solid album that will please their fan base and followers of the British blues scene. While it may not explore any new ground, it does cover the old quite nicely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":34165,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[7273],"rating":[5615],"class_list":["post-45996","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-savoy-brown","rating-rating-b"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45996","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\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45996\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45996"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=45996"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=45996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
