SAVOY BROWN: "Getting To The Point"

Original released on LP Decca SKL 4935

(UK, July 1968)

"Getting to the Point" marks the debut of a vastly different lineup, still led by Simmonds but now fronted by new vocalist Chris Youlden. The pair got off to a good start by writing or co-writing most of the album. The playing is solid blues revival, and though Youlden's vocals are often overly imitative of B.B. King and Muddy Waters, he has a confident voice and frontman persona. Originals like "Flood in Houston" and "Mr. Downchild" provide the highlights. (Keith Farley in AllMusic)

SAVOY BROWN Debut Album

Original released on LP Decca SKL 4883

(UK, September 1967)

Their only release featuring the original lineup, and, dare I say, clearly their strongest. This will appeal primarily to late 60's British blues boom fanatics. It's all blues rock, some of it hard, and some heavy, but always consistently good. (in RateYourMusic)
