SAVOY BROWN
KIM SIMMONDS, LONESOME DAVE, ROGER EARL, TONE STEVENS, plus OWEN FINNEGAN
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

Savoy Brown's blues-rock sound takes on a much more defined feel on 1970's Looking In and is one of this band's best efforts.
Kim Simmonds is utterly bewildering on guitar, while Lonesome Dave Peverett does a fine job taking over lead singing duties from
Chris Youlden who left halfway through the year. But it's the captivating arrangements and alluring ease of the music that makes
this a superb listen. The pleading strain transformed through Simmonds' guitar on "Money Can't Save Your Soul" is mud-thick
with raw blues, and the comfort of "Sunday Night" is extremely smooth and laid back. "Take It Easy" sounds like it could have
been a B.B. King tune as it's doused with relaxed guitar fingering. The entire album is saturated with a simple, British blues
sound but the pace and the marbled strands of bubbly instrumental perkiness fill it with life...(AllMusic)
