I just read where Savoy Brown's lead guitarist, Kim Simmonds, died this past Tuesday of colon cancer. 😢
One of my favorite bands, Savoy Brown, was founded by Simmonds around 1965, and Kim played on every album they recorded. His style will be greatly missed.
I remember one of the best concerts I went to at the old Coliseum in Houston was the New Delhi River Band (or was it New Riders of the Purple Sage?), Savoy Brown, and Rod Stewart. When Savoy Brown came on stage, Simmonds bounded out, tripped on a cable, did a sort of barrel roll to save any damage to his Les Paul. They opened with the first tune here, "Train to Nowhere" and tore it up. They concluded their set with the second tune, "Louisiana Blues" and rambled on for almost 20 minutes. I was so spent, I thought about just going home. Rod Stewart put on a good show, but to me, Simmonds and company took the prize that night.
