SAVOY BROWN - BLUE MATTER (THIRD ALBUM IN 1969 ~ YOUTUBE)
SAVOY BROWN - SHAKE DOWN (DECCA/DERAM 375066-5 ~LP)
THERE ARE THOSE WHO SAY BRITISH BLUES IS BEST APPRECIATED ON VINYL, AND THIS 180 GRAMS HEAVYWEIGHT REISSUE PRESSING IS POTENTIAL EVIDENCE FOR THE PROSECTION.
IN 1967 SAVOY BROWN RELEASED THEIR DEBUT ALBUM "SHAKE DOWN" WITH DISTINCTIVE BLUES SOUND, COVERING SONGS BY WILLIE DIXON, BB KING, JOHN LEE HOOKER AND FREDDIE KING. MY FAVOURITE ALBUM WITH CUTTY SHARK WHISKY.
SAVOY BROWN - BLUE MATTER (DECCA/DERAM 375066-9 ~ LP)
ON THEIR LP, 1969 "BLUE MATTER" IT IS NOW BEEN REISSUED ON 180 GRAMS VINYL. BRICE PORTIUS HAD BEEN REPLACED AS SINGER BY CHRIS YOULDEN WHO IN-TURN BECAUSE OF TONSILLITIS WAS NOT ON LIVE SIDE TWO, WHICH FEATURED DAVE PEVERETT AS STAND-IN VOCALIST AND DOES THE BUSINESS THAT CAN BE HEARD ON "LOUISIANA BLUES" POINTING THE WAY TO HIS FUTURE AS FOGHAT'S FRONTMAN. "TRAIN TO NOWHERE" FROM "BLUE MATTER" WAS GROUP'S TOUR DE FORCE, FILLED OUT WITH BRASS. HOWEVER, THE BRITISH BLUES BOOM WAS WINDING DOWN BY THIS TIME AND, WITH "A STEP FURTHER" FROM 1969 AND "RAW SIENNA" FROM 1970, THE GROUP EDGED SIDEWAYS TO-WARDS BOOGIE-BASED ROCK THOUGH RETAINING BLUES UNDERTONES. BOTH "SHAKE DOWN" AND "BLUE MATTER" HAVE ENTERED BLUES HISTORY WITH BLUES MASTERS WHO MADE ROCK 'N' ROLL AND WILL MAKE EVOCATIVE LISTERN AS STYLUS HITS VINYL, WHILE THEIR ALBUMS "RAW SIENNA" AND "KINGS OF BOOGIE" WILL TOP AS SAVOY BROWN MASTERPIECE.
