  • We Say...

    Founded by guitarist Kim Simmonds in 1966, English blues band Savoy Brown boogied endlessly and — once lead singer Chris Youlden split and Lonesome Dave Peverett, Tone Stevens and Roger Earl left to become three-fourths of Foghat — changed personnel frequently. Originally released in 1989, this album features vocalist Dave Walker — whose first stint in the band began with 1971's Street Corner Talking — back in the lineup. Bookended by the '50s-rock-revisited title track and the closing Ray Charles homage "Until the Sky Fades Away," the rest of the disc finds Simmonds & Co. somewhere between a hard rock and a blues place. Echoes of Santana, Dire Straits, Golden Earring, AC/DC and Stevie Ray Vaughan — and those synthetic period production touches — aside, budding fret-grinders may appreciate Simmonds' thick, distinctive tone and direct, muscular phrasing more than most.
