From the south-west district of London, Battersea, Savoy Brown have been kicking and stomping since 1965. They’ve undergone uncountable line-up changes, seemingly a revolving door of personnel. The one mainstay has been Kim Simmonds, the founding member and guitarist cum lead vocalist. Their 1967 debut, Shake Down, was a collection of covers of American blues artists including BB King, John Lee Hooker and Willie Dixon, who provided inspiration throughout the tortuous lifetime of Savoy Brown. They were signed with the iconic Decca label, and found a fan base over the Atlantic in the States through extensive touring and a solid backing from their label. They reached a high at number 34 in the US charts with their 1972 album, Hellbound Train.

Lately they’ve been tearing around Europe in the latest three-piece incarnation and are set to return to their old stomping grounds in the US to rattle out their vital psychedelic blues. Kim Simmons is now old as buggery at 66. He’s shed his youthful mane of blond hair but he still flaunts his Gibson flying V with gusto.

Since we had seen Savoy Brown several years ago, I was expecting to see a really fun show with some great blues music...and we were not disappointed at all! Kim Simmonds and the current guys touring with him gave us a great show. Kim was celebrating Savoy Browns 50th year as a band. They played some great new music, and of course some of the old tried and true standby's that a fan would hope to hear. The music set was great, the venue small and intimate, and I would recommend anyone considering going to see this band do so. I promise you will have a fun and memorable experience!

Oh man, it had been nearly 50 years since I've seen Savoy Brown. Much older now, I see why Ken Simmonds was in the class of the great guitarist of the '60s and '70s. His performance was impecable with the soulful sound coming sweetly out his guitars, and tied with great artist in their three peice blues band: I was in heaven. A must see.

Great Show! The interaction between band and audience in Shank Hall gives you an up close and personal experience. I've made Savoy Brown shows 14 yrs in a row and tell you Savoy Brown Boogies Always!

Final Savoy Brown album announced

Quarto Valley Records announces the upcoming release of  Blues All Around , the new album from legendary British Blues Rock band Savoy Brown on February 17 th . Shortly after the new album was completed, Savoy Brown founder, guitarist/ singer/ songwriter  Kim Simmonds lost his hard-fought battle with cancer on December 13 th , just a week after turning 75. While recuperating from his initial cancer treatments, Simmonds had begun work on the new album that was to become  Blues All Around.

Kim’s death was announced on his Facebook page December 15 th  with the notation, “One of Kim’s last requests was to thank the fans of Savoy Brown. Your support was, and shall always be, immensely appreciated.” He first shared the news of his health on a Facebook post last August. At that time, he acknowledged that he needed to suspend his live performances for the year. He was originally diagnosed in September 2021 and surgery at that time “kept me going with a decent quality of life,” but chemotherapy made it difficult for him to perform. Simmonds noted that one of the side effects is peripheral neuropathy, which deadened the nerves in his fingers and hands.

Blues All Around  follows Savoy Brown’s critically acclaimed 2022 album,  Ain’t Done Yet , and is lovingly dedicated to the band’s families, friends and Savoy Brown fans everywhere. 

“The new album continues the approach I’ve been taking with the band this past decade,” said Kim Simmonds at the time of the sessions. Kim formed Savoy Brown in 1965 in London, England, and it has been one of the longest running Blues Rock bands in existence. “The big difference with the new album is the multi-layer approach I took to recording the guitar parts. It’s all blues-based rock music. I try to find new and progressive ways to write and play the music I’ve loved since I was a teenager,” he said.

Blues All Around  showcases Kim Simmonds’ most-inspired guitar work and expressive vocals, since his illness during the recording sessions lead him to play a great deal more slide guitar than on previous albums.

Longtime fan and critic favorites, Savoy Brown birthed in London 57 years ago and has been based in upstate New York for many years. Kim Simmonds had been the group’s guiding hand from the first singles released in 1966 through this newest effort, Savoy Brown’s 42nd album. On the new record, Simmonds (guitar, harmonica, organ and vocals) was once again joined by his long-running bandmates Pat DeSalvo (bass) and Garnet Grimm (drums/percussion).  

“I enjoyed making this album perhaps because I approached the recording in a different manner from the usual ‘Live in the studio’ format I’ve always used,” Simmonds says in the album liner notes.      

“Here’s how it went.  My tracks, guitar, vocal, etc., were laid down first.  Pat and Garnet then added bass, drums and percussion and the whole process worked beautifully.  They clinched the deal using my tracks as a guide.  Brilliant work.  They’re heaven sent.  The concept wasn’t my brainchild.  Studio owner and engineer Ron Keck suggested the approach to make things easier, due to my failing health and I’m forever grateful.  

“John Shelmet was another angel in the preparation stages.  He suggested I play slide guitar when the neuropathy affecting my fingers made single string playing difficult.  Good idea!!

“My wife Debbie was a great help as well in the mixing stage.  She added an extra set of ears and a source of helpful suggestions as we moved along … often at lightning pace.  

“You have to be quick on your feet in the recording of an album.  Things not working have to be put aside and new ideas have to be decided upon quickly so the creative forces don’t grind to a halt.  I do have a quick mind which helps …. and sometimes hinders!  I do push events forward rapidly.  Life is energy.  Music is energy.

“Enjoy listening to this set of energetic blues/rock songs as much as I’ve enjoyed making it.”

An Interview with Tony Stevens of Savoy Brown & Foghat

I was recently joined by veteran four-stringer Tony Stevens for a chat where, among other things, we touch on the formation of two of blues-rock’s most seminal acts in Savoy Brown and Foghat, the lifecycle of Midnight Flyer, Foghat’s 90s and early 2000s reunion, what’s next for Slow Ride, and a whole lot more.

If you would like to learn more about Tony Stevens, the link to his webpage is here . Once you’ve done that, dive into this interview with Tony. Cheers.

Andrew: Tony, thank you for taking the time here with me. Let’s kick off with Savoy Brown. How did you first meet Kim Simmons ?

Tony: There was an ad in a music paper. It said they needed a bass guitarist, so I changed from lead guitar to bass. I left my work to go to the audition, went to the audition, and nailed it. I got the job over ten other bass players, and then was told, “You’ve got the job. Can you learn the songs? We’re playing tonight.” [Laughs]. I still remember throwing up before the show from my nerves as I had only joined them five hours previously that day.

Andrew: The initial lineup of Savoy Brown which also included Dave Pevertte and Roger Earl was formidable. Walk me through the recording of Blue Matter . What do you recall regarding the sessions?

Tony: Well, the live side of Blue Matter was sung by Dave Peverett as Chris Youlden never turned up. The studio side was great, as Chris was a great singer and songwriter. We had brass and strings on a lot of the tracks, which in retrospect, was something I thought was really great.

Andrew: Savoy Brown’s fourth album, Looking In , was perhaps its greatest success, but Kim folded the band after the supporting tour. What led to the fracture?

Tony: Chris had left the band. Dave was singing, but I think one of the successes was that Dave and I were allowed to write songs. I had “Poor Girl” and “Leaving Again.” Kim actually did not fold the band, the rest of us got fed up, and so the three of us left at the end of 1970 to form Foghat.

Andrew: As you’ve just alluded to, from the ashes of Savoy Brown rose Foghat. Walk me through the band’s inception.

Tony: At first, it was just the three of us, but we needed a guitarist. So, we auditioned for another guitarist and got Rod [Price]. He was a great slide player and he worked in a wine shop, which made the rehearsals very relaxed. [Laughs].

Andrew: In its formative years, Foghat maintained a breakneck pace while touring on the back of its first four albums, which were all well received. Still, you left Foghat in 1975. What went into that decision? Do you have any regrets given the commercial success which followed for the band?

Tony: Honestly, it was too many tours. We had a great following but there wasn’t any time allowed for us to recover. But the main reason I went is they didn’t want me anymore. I was fed up with continually touring America and, when Rock and Roll Outlaws didn’t go gold as Energized did, it was time to take the band to Europe, Asia, Japan, etc., instead of saturating the American market with too many tours, but I was burnt out and needed a break.

I have no regrets as I was in a very big hit television show and had a hit album, namely Rock Follies . It was first in all the charts. Then Nobody’s Business, where we featured the band in Ibiza and recorded our album in Nice, in the French Alps.

Andrew: Also of note, you launched Midnight Flyer in the late 70s under Led Zeppelin’s Swan Song label. The band had trouble getting off the ground. In your estimation, what kept things from moving forward

Tony: Well, with Midnight Flyer, it could have been great. I got together with Maggie Bell, and we formed the band, and we were signed by Swan Song, and managed by Peter Grant, Led Zeppelin’s manager. The death of John Bonham really threw Swan song into a disarray. In the wake of all that, Peter sent us out with Bob Seger and then we toured with ACϟDC in America, but we simply couldn’t launch with the way Swan Song was. Had we been a few years earlier, before Bonzo died, it might have been a different story.

Andrew: Moving forward a bit now, walk me through the 1993 reunion of Foghat, which featured the original four members. How did the conversations begin?

Tony: I got a phone call asking would I be interested in getting back with the other lads as Rick Ruben wanted the original band to make an album. The whole thing nearly folded on the first night as Roger Earl played so badly we couldn’t stand it. He had come in late and didn’t know any of the breaks. It was so bad that Rod and Dave came into my room and said, “That’s it, we can’t play with Roger anymore.” Now, I had just arrived in the U.S., I thought, “Shit. This can’t be how this ends. Not this quickly.” So, I said, “Let me take Roger into the studio and work with him until the songs are playable.” And that’s what I did.

Andrew: What memories do you have regarding Return of the Boogie Men and its supporting tour? My understanding is Rod Price had a difficult time. Peel back the onion on that for me.

Tony: With the album, I don’t have many memories, as it wasn’t that memorable. [Laughs]. We recorded in L.A. with Nick Jameson as producer. As for the tour, it was nice having new stuff to play alongside the classics. It was tough for Rod, as he was overweight and was on medication, of which was found that it was the wrong combination. He slept nearly all day and wasn’t happy on stage. It was apparent to all the members, mainly Dave.

Andrew: In 2000 we lost Dave Peverette. Speak on his final days with Foghat, your memories of him, and his enduring legacy.

Tony: Dave was a soldier. He went through six months of chemo, and lost one hundred pounds, but wanted to come back and do what turned out to be his last tour. The Millenium Tour in 1999, in Houston Texas, was his last, but I would say one of his best tours. He was amazing on stage. He is still missed very much by me.

Andrew: You and Roger Earl kept Foghat going until your departure in 2005. What led to the final fracture?

Tony: Sadly, it was greed and ego. As always seems to be the case, with Foghat at least, those were the main reasons for the splits. There were partners that wanted their man to be more featured, which was stupid in this case.

Andrew: What are your thoughts on where Foghat stands today? Is there a chance we see you with Foghat again?

Tony: It seems that they are doing well. They have another new singer and bass player. No, to the last bit of your question. The only way I would be in Foghat again is if it were the real Foghat again, as I did start the band as well, regardless of what other seem to think, and say.

Andrew: As for Kim Simmonds, where does your relationship stand, and would you consider a reunion?

Tony: Kim joined Slow Ride on stage in Canada a few years back. He was great and the version of “Louisiana Blues” with the three guitars was mind-blowing. I would happily play with Kim again if asked.

Andrew: Last one. You’ve been active with Slow Ride on and off. What’s next for you, Tony?

Tony: I have some lovely people that want to back a concert namely, An Evening with Tony Stevens . This would feature my guitarist Tommy Hall’s band, Mr. Nice Guy, as well as my band. It’ll be a lot of fun, as I will be singing from my own album, and some Foghat songs too. Then, I will talk to the audience with all and everything, taking questions and giving answers, Then feature some guest artists after a short break. It’s onwards and upwards, my friend.
