Savoy Brown - Can't get next to you

Savoy Brown - Can't get next to you

[@bimwopbarn47]

Perhaps Kim’s finest moment. He stretches out against Paul Raymond’s piano and the rock solid bass and drums, and man he’s a jazzbo!

[@czjim1]

heard these guys in the 70's and still continue. Love this song. This music ain't for the cookie cutter mass produce liking folks out there. No super bowl gigs for Savoy Brown....they are the real deal.

[@mberge1]

Can't get next to you babe.

[@olly8]

I consider myself to be in an exclusive club of Savoy Brown fans. Such an awesome group. The more I delve into their music IM FAMILIAR WITH--keep finding there is much more music from them than I was ever aware of. I'm ONE of the Special few! My first introduction was Street Corner Talkin' album. Love this band.

[@oldeshoppebluzboy2298]

So sorry to read that guitarist Kim Simmonds, who was a great influence on my own guitar playing for over 50 years, has passed away just about 9 days ago on the 13th of this month just almost a week after his 75th birthday which was on the 5th. RIP Kim Simmonds ..5th December 1947 - 13th December 2022...thank you Kim Simmonds for all the great Blues/Blues Rock music ypu provided thru out my life and lead guitar lessons I got listening to you on Savoy Brown records over and over to learn how to play lead guitar in the 60s in my early teens and helped me learn the basics of the pentatonic scales as a young guitarist growing up in the 60s and influenced my own playing snd understanding of the fretboard for decades affter...RIP Guitar Maestro Kim Simmonds...

❤❤❤ Ich liebe diese Band über alles 😊😊😊 R. I. P . Kim 😢😢😢

[@MrSteviek52]

Great stuff from an under appreciated band ! This music STILL kills it 💥 ....happily, Kim Simmonds is still with us....and better than ever !

[@TheGenreman]

Sadly passed away end of last year

[@MrSteviek52]

@@TheGenreman …oh gosh…. I hadn’t heard….that’s very 😔 sad….well, I’m 70 now and all my heroes are dropping like flies….almost daily 😳😞

[@freethinktherefore]

Sounds simple and easy, doesn't it. Simmonds is an unsung talent. Some of the best rock/blues you're ever going to hear. He's morphed throughout the years -- for the better.

[@davidyates4714]

Love this song! Savoy Brown was one of the bands that I listened to in my EARLY teens, in smoky basement bedrooms!

[@rickharrison9701]

These guys headlined The Concert by the Sea inVirgina inthe mid seventies with Dr. Hook,Cactus and several others ,back when music was real

[@ronlundgren4522]

Have had the pleasure to see them multiple times, always awesome

[@noelharris1177]

Me too.Simmonds gone now at 75 yesterday.Loved his music. . .

[@tims8603]

Great old Temptations song. I like this version better.

[@RayTuttle-of5qd]

One of S B greatest albums I think I wore one out in the 70s wish I had another one

[@blackwaterdogs4256]

Savoy Brown was my first (of many) concert at Fillmore East after returning from Viet Nam....my head was properly spun ! :-)

Welcome Home soldier.

Welcome home brother

[@michaelblagg1321]

Heard this band during my first tour in Germany. Listened to them ever since!

[@apomega25]

Been listening to this since way back in high school. From the album, 'Street Corner Talking", by Savoy Brown. Great album & still love it.

[@scottford6383]

One of the best versions of a classic.

[@oldeshoppebluzboy2298]

I saw them in 1972 with lang John Baldry and Fleetwood Mac in Elgin Illinois while on leave from a 14 month "I got drafted" inspired vacation in Asia..unbelievable concert and show..just saw Kim Simmonds with the his latest incarnation of Savoy Brown at the Aggie Theater in Fort Collins Colorado just about 18 months ago or so. And that was a great intimate small/medium sized venue concert experience to enjoy a Savoy Brown/Kim Simmonds concert/show..

[@jimfritz9503]

I was at that show , Larkin High School . Saw a few concerts there.

[@dougbaugh1]

This is a great arrangement of this song. Virtually every blues/rock band that covers this song uses Savoy Browns arrangement.

[@Wardyaudio]

Actually it was Al Green's arrangement

[@okiepita50t-town28]

A masterpiece of guitar solo imo.

[@markuslaugner4853]

took my Volkswagen Bus from Germany al the way to Turkey and back over Greece and listen only to Savoy Brown one album after the next and al over again was a fantastic trip way back then in the 70s wish could do it again ha ha

[@olddude981]

Sounds like let's go . I had 8 track under my seat , pushed it in with my foot by chance , Savoy came on good and loud , thought I'd been hit by a semi ( for real ) there for a second .

[@achilleskatsamas6430]

Markus Laugner That’s quite a road trip mate ah?

[@keithwarren4520]

THE BEST FOR 50 YEARS...HOW MUCH MORE WORK ARE THEY GONNA HAVE SAVOY BROWN DO BEFORE BEING INDUCTED INTO THE HALL OF FAME...???

[@keithwarren4520]

BUT YOU CAN TAKE THAT LITTLE TRIP AGAIN MARKUS LAUGNER...SAVOY BROWN HAS PUT ON COUNTLESS L.P. S SINCE THEN...

[@keithwarren4520]

HAVE A BLESSED DAY MY FRIEND...

[@justinsimmonds8723]

This band is and has become very intriguing to me because every song and every version of is a journey threw time and the talent that passed threw this band is amazing . Hugely under appreciated for all the influences that have been placed as well. Dave Walker is my favorite but I love them all , Mr Simmonds is a true gentleman and the best guitarist on the planet ! Since you've been gone with Dave Walker singing is my all time favorite

[@luisguedes7590]

Beautiful version of a soul classic well known in the voice of The Temptations. Savoy Brown is a fantastic band.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Nope it's Blues not Tempty Wimps

[@tammyroutley9368]

Thanks Tom :) My sis stole my Street Corner Talking album a few years ago..I bought that new -back in the 70's- well then someone stole it from her shortly after that ha! What goes around comes around.. Sure missed this music there are no equals. I bought the cd a couple of years ago but there are tracks missing. Ah such is life!

[@georgehoffman4645]

when I was 15 I was in a blues band with a bunch of old heads and they introduced me to savoy brown and gov't mule and I miss this type of music. groove music. Rest in Peace Dennis Peoples

[@davidstobie2751]

I ve been tracking SB motown versions. I had the first 6 or 7 albums plus a bunch more.

[@shakedownstreet48]

Every time i hear this album i think of doing LSD back in the day.. Some things just bring you back,.Minneapolis was a hip town back in the day..

[@gerardsorrentino7181]

Saw them in Boulder Colorado with Fleetwood Mac and long John baldry

[@cindy85123]

Um, Sometimes a cover is better than the original~ and SB prooves that. Right here. Right now. Excellent~

[@mberge1]

Had the LP and now can listen to this great group on this laptop. Great sound!

[@Acein3055]

That lead at 3:15. If you can remember these guys at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit around 1969, you weren't high enough..

[@sweetitis]

Ha ha i did the Grande Actually on an album of another great blues band The J Geils gang

[@debbiel6038]

love every tune, sweet memories!

[@reveddro319]

British Blues at it's finest

[@markknebel8923]

Good band. Saw them many years ago at the Main Point in Ardmore PA.

[@stephengaydos4346]

they did 5 encores one night at the Port Chester theater. late 60's

[@pegiwillan3204]

This is perfect in execution, arrangement and recording. Just love this piece.

[@5607dhoward]

One of my favorites from Savoy Brown.

[@Byrontheone]

remember the Boston Common and the Cambridge Common? Where you could get a sack for ten bucks and it was better than dirt weed. And only 10 or 15 for a large amount. Never again. What a effed up world we live in today, much to my regret. It's all about the mney, and the profit. Not about the soul. Damn.

[@TomSnyder--theJaz]

Ya can't go wrong with Savoy Brown! ;-)

[@jonwilliams2826]

I saw them in 69 with Rory Gallagher. Fantastic!

[@eldorado96]

We all listened to the Temptations back then, but if I was going out on the town for blues and beer, I would much rather hear the Al Green/Savoy Brown styling of this one. Oh, but don't even think about it if you don't have B3 keys -- can't get next to that.

[@michealw.8219]

Thanks Tom always loved this band.

[@cindydufala7646]

Love the artwork in this album. Plus the music I've heard since I was a puppy.

[@Vlad65WFPReviews]

yeah - I had this on vinyl a billion years ago - so damned good

[@Shtickler]

This is close to the Al Green version (my own preferred groove on this one).

[@drummer17562]

Kim Simmons and Lonesome Dave... what a pair bluesmen from England. Dave went on to Foghat, as you may remember. I caught Kim at an Air Force Base show in 1977, if I remember correctly. The group played on a flat bed trailer and we were all sitting on the ground in the dark. Great performance, it seemed as though I was the only one who knew the songs as most of my contemporaries weren't into blues at the time. I listened to the Bluesbreakers and of course, Chickenshack; later known as Peter Green's version of Fleetwood Mac. FOR SALE and HELLBOUND TRAIN are a bit bluesier than St Corner Talking... gotta love the artwork on that cover too!

[@jorgeperez9842]

Lonesome Dave was no longer in the band.

[@davidmcintosh6897]

Brilliant

[@mikebell719]

Saw them 1974 while stationed in Alaska on their "Boogie Brothers" tour. Kiss opened the show, talk about a contrast in styles. Great show acid will do that to you 👌

[@mackie8116]

At the WareHouse1972 ( I think ) with the DOOBE Brother, long time ago. Still Rocking to Street Corner Talking, GREAT LP.

i saw savoy brown with deep purple and pink floyd Tampa Stadium, think it was 74- they were all great. Did a hit of pink a, purple a and brown mesc., , it was available all over the field- the stadium was set up with a quadraphonic PA. Blackmore tore up his strat and threw it in the crowd-- big fight over the guitar. Great Show

[@laynwhiting8693]

Fucking trippin ..omg

I think this version is better than the temps

[@ronaldllander3628]

great it reminds my younger days,i!m about to attend party specialy when i heared the song tell mama. resback on the line see you in concert bro

[@Jam1457]

I first saw Savoy Brown opening up for Status Quo in Liverpool, UK "The Stadium" in 1972!!!! ... I remember the guitarist playing a gold top Les Paul at the time.

probably Kim Simmons, maybe Lonesome Dave Peveret.
