I saw Kim Simmonds and Savoy Brown at the Rams Head Tavern in Annapolis, MD yesterday.
What a treat and what a fabulous venue! This was the second concert I have caught there recently, The Church being the other. We were one table back, dead center, about 5 yards from the band, right in the sweet spot. The sound was tuned in PERFECTLY!!
I've been a casual Savoy Brown fan for over 30 years since te cover of their album "Looking In" caught my eye one day in a record store (when is the last time the cover of a CD caught anyone's eye?).
This gig was fabulous, a four piece group, essentially a power trio plus the current vocalist and his near flawless vocals who also adds sax on occasion. All these guys were spot on and listening to Simmonds carve out riffs on his instruments was an absolute treat! An unexpected plus was that the band was having fun and so was the crowd.
Wasn't sure what to expect from an aging BRitish Blues and rock icon wo has been around over 45 years, but it was quite a fun night for any affectionado of blues/rock/boogie! Highly recommended!
