savoy brown

wizard o' sound andre mixed savoy brown at j&j's blues bar the other night. hard to believe kim simmonds is still treading the boards in 2007, having started his career in the blooze-crazed britain of '65. my buddy geoff is still a devoted fan (then again, he also digs black oak arkansas, the foghat band that's just the drummer from the 'riginals, and jerry shirley's humble pie) and still swears by 'em. myself, i'll admit to a fondness for their blue matter and raw sienna albs from back in the day, and to having played "savoy brown boogie" a lot as a snotnose. but dre sez their new stuff sounds boss, and from the li'l bit you can hear on their website, i'm inclined to agree. go fig.
