Free Music Review: NEW MATERIAL FOR FANS
Hit: 3 Stars
If you new to Savoy Brown, I would suggest you get some of their studio albums from the late 60s to middle 70s. At that time, they had a very good keyboard player with some very nice solos, and the material and production was much better than this disc, which sounds like it was recorded on home gear using a computer for mixing. It does list a studio, but that is hard to believe. This offering still sounds ok: has a raw dirty sound, although somewhat muffled. The keyboard is gone except for some crudely added piano. Many songs end abruptly. On one selection, a harmonica keeps on going after the band stops. But the good news is that there are 5 very good blues rock numbers, although they are simple and loose their interest after maybe 10 plays. These tunes are: headline news, going down to mobile, she's leaving, the blues keep me holding on, and when you got a good friend (Not the Carol King song). These are mostly John Lee Hooker, but with good solid rhythm. The lead singer on most songs is the bass player, a black dude, with a fairly good voice: Nathaniel Peterson. Leo Lyons of Ten Years After plays bass on 3 tracks. Kim sings on 3 tracks. There are 2 slow blues. I like, Bad Shape, with some very good blues feeling vocals by Nathaniel, and good guitar by Kim. (On the slow songs, I wish Kim would play less notes, with more melody.) That's all I want baby, is a rockabilly selection. Two jump tunes, but, I can live without the solo acoustic blues song. The CD's artwork is not in color, but has a picture depicting each selection. There is some nice guitar interplay between Kim and Duke Robillard on the last song, a jump blues. Finally, if you are more into straight blues, you will like this CD more than me. I do like the traditional approach, but prefer the blues rock style. I almost forgot; Kim spends most of his time on steel guitar slide backing--less solos--but the audio quality is not so hot. So, if you are a fan, here is new material.
