Part of the late-'60s blues-rock movement, Britain's Savoy Brown never achieved as much success
in their homeland as they did in America, where they promoted their albums with nonstop touring.
The band was formed and led by guitarist Kim Simmonds, whose dominating personality
has led to myriad personnel changes; the original lineup included singer Bryce Portius,
keyboardist Bob Hall, guitarist Martin Stone, bassist Ray Chappell, and drummer Leo Manning.
This lineup appeared on the band's 1967 debut, Shake Down, a collection of blues covers.
Seeking a different approach, Simmonds dissolved the group

Getting to the Point marks the debut of a vastly different lineup, still led by Simmonds
but now fronted by new vocalist Chris Youlden. The pair got off to a good start by writing
or co-writing most of the album. The playing is solid blues revival, and though
Youlden's vocals are often overly imitative of B.B. King and Muddy Waters,
he has a confident voice and frontman persona.
Originals like "Flood in Houston" and "Mr. Downchild" provide the highlights...(AllMusic)
