Savoy Brown - A Step Further
Decca Records - Stereo Cat No SKL 5013
This Rare UK First Pressing Was Released in August 1969, This Was The Bands’ Forth Album And Released On The “Unboxed” Blue and Silver Decca Label.
A Step Further was so titled because the band was trying to break out of the all-traditional blues mode; literally, taking the music a step further. This means the addition of horns and percussion to give the studio tracks a more "orchestral" feel, while still retaining a blues/rock bite. The combination works particularly well in the instrumental "Waiting in the Bamboo Grove," which sounds like a wonderful outtake from an adventure or James Bond spy movie soundtrack. Great horn-guitar interplay! "Life's One-Act Play" is classic Youlden slow blues: ironic, yet burning. Few blues singers employed that combination of feelings "Made Up My Mind" is wonderfully rollicking good-time fun, a great album starter. "I'm Tired," of course, is a masterpiece: great singing coupled with great lyrics and an absolutely irresistible opening hook from Kim. ("Where Am I?" is merely the song's percussion-driven ride-out (i.e., conclusion). Finally, the Savoy Brown Boogie medley is, unfortunately, live, so we get great band energy pitted against truly awful sound quality. (Yes, that is an un-credited chunk of "Purple Haze" played by Kim in the medley's midsection.) Obviously a great cut live, And Just As Good on Vinyl. Make up your mind to acquire it today!
