SAVOY BROWN
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
"HELLBOUND TRAIN" <reissue, originally published in 1972>
Produced by Neil Slaven

RECORD NEAR EX but (please, also read above description)
SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
The songs are still draped with Savoy Brown's sleek, bluesy feel, but the deep-rooted blues essence that so easily emerged from their last album doesn't rise as high throughout Hellbound Train's tracks. The title cut is most definitely the strongest, with Dave Walker, Simmonds, and Paul Raymond sounding tighter than on any other song, and from a wider perspective, Andy Silvester's bass playing is easily Hellbound's most complimenting asset...(AllMusic)
