Savoy Brown - Lion's Share

[@oregonpatriot1570]

Dave Walker. One of the best voices in a long history of the band.

[@torstrasburg8289]

Green's Mac are always touted as the crown jewel of the British Blues Boom from the sixties. Savoy Brown may actually deserve the title.

[@Bladerunner1970]

lol wtf?

[@rkf87]

Chris Youlden, the singer they had two guys previous, said the whole British Blues revival thing turned out to be such a shame. Maybe if SB had gotten their due as much back home as in the states, things might've been different. Singers leave for different reasons, though. I think Dave Walker here was their best known and even he left after three good albums. Funny you mentioned Mac since that's just where he went to record an album right after this.

[@MrTubular13]

This CD (yes) is in my six disk player today, as we speak. My sisters boy friend, who was in a band, pointed to this album in a record store in 1974. "Buy this one", he said. End of story.

[@rkf87]

@coogan8825 indeed. The Mac couldn't contain him either!

[@rkf87]

@coogan8825 what's good from The Idle Race?

Kim Simmons,Dave walker,SAVOY BROWN,ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER.😎🎸🎶🔊☮️ BOB.

[@thomasmahon1600]

I do believe Dave Walker was one of the best vocalists they had. In my opinion he set the bar.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

he was a gritty singer but very undependable. He left Savoy Brown to join Fleetwood Mac and only stayed with them a short time also.

[@severinabanks9335]

74 and it came in just in time. This album was it and still rocks.

[@lukelester481]

I've had the privilege and good fortune to see SB in concert dozens of times, since 1972, in many places, in several countries. So many great musicians and vocalists have been part of Kim's creations. Here it is a half century later and i'm hearing the band in Canajoharie, NY tonight (august 2021). I never try to guess what songs i will hear from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's, or current album. Savoy Brown's blues have "kept me holding on."

[@robertjelicic6651]

Savoy Brown, Technics SUV900 amp and 4 Bose-speakers is all I need. Boogie!

[@cbarnes25]

Probably the best band ever. I saw them twice - once at Toby Jug Blues Club in Tolworth Surrey and once at University of Hull. Totally brilliant, I am an old man of 60 now and I adore them.

[@danielcasaray2567]

I got to see Savoy Brown back in the 70s early 70s when they did Hellbound train and they did a really good job on it I never got to see Lonesome Dave though

[@gtrjay55]

My first bluesy rock album was Savoy Brown music,I dig the mellow rock. I listen every night to go to sleep

[@stefanmansson6734]

I love this album, I think it´s Savoy Browns best album. The keyboard and the piano makes the big difference

Great old Scholl blues rock 🥁🥁🙏🙏👌👌

I saw these guys back in 73 and the Rocked the San Berdo Swing to the ground...one of the best bands I ever saw live!!!

Tell mamas still one of my faves il play n sing it people say wow good song when did you write that song that's funny now and then people go Savoy who was that guy oh yeah savoy brown street talking? Love them clean sounding guitars on a lotta songs now that's really nicely done then again thay get down and play there asses off great band

[@sundial6919]

@@johnsennett1690 did you see Kim an Co in early to mid 80s was scorching pedal to the metal hard supercharged rock , they came several times a year during that time , i saw them a lot of those times he was slingin a red sg plugged straight into jcm800 playing raw wailing howling Roaring heart pounding slide guitar yet so incredibly melodic an musical in full blown hard rock , when i think of blues an rock , Kim Simmonds 1st outta whats left of the ol memory bank . ** also his Tone was bringing the amp just to the clip w master vol down low an vol up for a really cool blooming kind of electric blur , not real clean not heavy overdriven

"Love me please": What a guitar solo!

[@bobgray1226]

my favorite time seeing savoy brown in PGH for their savage return album tour and opening up for Roy Buchanan at the number one concert voted many years in a row... the Stanley theater 👈

[@severinabanks9335]

This entire album just makes the temple to dance once again with a smile 😊!

[@HighMo]

Song written by Dave Walker...one of the best cuts on the album. What a band they were in the 70's. Edit: I should have specified - Denim Demon. Totally love that song. Makes me want to get the band back together and cover this again.

[@danielcasaray2567]

I seen them two in the early 70s there really a good band the best ever I ever heard as far as blues is concerned

[@waynemuggeridge3807]

This song was written by Vanda and Young. Malcolm and Angus’s older brother from the Easybeats

[@jgaines295]

It's amazing. This music is many years old and still better than whats produced today.

[@chucklaneChuckylane]

I used to listen to Savoy Brown when I was a junior in High School, 1973. Having a brother 7 yrs. older made Me way above any top 40 shit all My friends were hooked on. They kept it going until all of the members dropped lead guitar/vocals, And formed Foghat taking on one more member. I guess that is why early Foghat was so good, They were Savoy Brown! Still one of My favorites, Timeless blues. Thank You very much for putting this up.

[@mr.d.4175]

Then, now and forever. Classic.

[@syndicateofsurf1367]

THIS is the best Savoy Brown album! Why? Cuz it's the one I owned! And learned to play every song on drums and guitar. My blooze skool.

[@syndicateofsurf1367]

I learned about Dick Dale later in life. Found Kim Simmons's Lion's Share when I was 14.

[@johnfairsgoldpanningschool.]

My favorite band since I was 3 years old in 1969. Saw them in Vancouver B.C. live. The best show ever.

[@severinabanks9335]

Excellent blues also. All around many enjoyable hours back then.

[@joelkludt9072]

I was introduced to Savoy Brown up at Butch's place. I had just dropped a quarter hit of orange sunshine and all of the people at the party and I listened to "Street Corner Talking" all night long and all I did was laugh all the time.

[@vernalauritsen7893]

I seen Savoy Brown when they touring for this album during the 70s. Went to the Paramount theater in downtown Portland, Oregon with some friends. Had front row seats in the balcony. Those were great seats. Great show. I'm 70 now, still listening.... RL.

[@rosemarygranat]

Perfect

[@larrysmith3832]

# 8 Love Me Please: One of the greatest blues songs ever captured on vinyl. Sublime blues deftly executed by consummate musicians who understood that “The whole is greater than its parts”. A true work of blues art. Credit is also due to the studio engineers and final mastering. Blues at it’s finest!

[@TheCardhold]

Totally agree! In a lifetime of great, beautiful, fantastic blues by the great Kim Simmonds this one stands out as a true masterpiece ! So true lyrics, guitar blues and piano, so poignant . So overlooked but will always stand the test of time! ,

[@GG-ks4ul]

I have to Agree!

[@joe092064]

lol I Remember driving around with my brother in the late 70's cranking this on our 8-track player windows down! MAN These guys were cool!

[@danielcasaray2567]

I actually want to update my first comment that I made earlier that I was 16 years old when I got this album lionshare and I got a lot of other albums by them two at that time and I really appreciated Kim Simmonds guitar playing I think you did one of the best guitarists it's ever come along

[@valeriyblinov1573]

One of the best white blues bands ever to create musiic. Something unique about them that goes even beyond the Stones, no insult intended. So rocking, so masterful, so captivating, they should be in the Rock n roll of fame. Are they>

[@jackquack2261]

Still listening to this on original vinyl since I bought it '72-'73 on an original belt drive Pioneer Pl-15D with a B&O cartridge. I never tire of good blues and rock. I'll take a record or CD over any digital format I have heard so far. Listening to digital is like settling for 20% of the original music.

Been listening to Savoy Brown since their CONCEPTION... Seen them in Concert About 15 times in Concert Starting in 1970...

[@Byrontheone]

Can't u hear me howlin, howlin on my darlin' she makes me jump and shout. Sexual love when we were in our twenties. Never a time like that again. No dope, no cocaine, no ludes no oxys, just some good smoke and some occasion acid and lots of LOVE. What a fabtastic album what a a fantastic time. I will never forget a woman that I was lucky enough to meet and weed out from the evil ones who were floating about. Never got into a cult. Amen.

[@haroldsmith1213]

just a great treat thru the years ,saw them many times in the day ,never ounce saw a bad show -kim simmons deserves so much admiration and credit for never giving up thu the years and music changes. thanks so much

[@JackSchitte]

I pretty much stayed with Savoy Brown even though you never had any idea who the personnel was going to be with the next album. How lucky was Simmonds to have had Lonesome Dave and Chris Youlden as his lead singer(s) on separate albums. Both were a perfect match for where Kim was musically at each incarnation. Anyone who was 'In' on Savoy Brown always loved to turn new people on to them. They usually said something like " Dude these guys are great- where the hell did they come from.Lions Share was one of their best . Thanks a ton for the memories!

[@bukbukbuk333]

Luv 'em all, with Raw Sienna being my fave. Saw Simmons and Savoy Brown at the Charlesgate in Boston in the early 1990s. It was a hotel lounge, and the band was a bit disappointing, but Simmons played well. I fully understand the need to earn a living, as some great players, despite their notoriety, never get past it. It was not held in a great venue, and frankly, not everything; not every band works, and you cant hide anything when playing live. Simmons is an all-time great, as is Savoy Brown!

[@jamesbrown2588]

I always liked this lineup of SB. Lonesome Dave had that gravely growl of a voice that was perfect for this blues band. Always one of my favorite bands. Seen them in 72 in Salt Lake City with Atomic Rooster , Long John Baldry and Humble Pie. Wow.

[@eloquentprofaniti]

Do you remember what Atomic Rooster sounded like, they are another band I think are great. Vincent Crane the founder of Atomic Rooster, was also in the band, The crazy world of Arthur Brown. He started the band, (after quitting Arthur Brown), with Carl Palmer (of Emerson, Lake and Palmer fame), their first headlining gig was in London, and the opening band was Deep Purple. I just found this out recently, I always thought Vincent Crane was a bit under rated as a keyboardist and believed that Deep Purple had "borrowed" some of his licks. He always seemed to me to be a musician that other musicians would like. By the way I like all of those bands (Long John Baldry, Savoy Brown, Atomic Rooster and Humble Pie) my favorite would have to be Savoy Brown. ps... if you get a chance listen to the song "Fire" by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown, it is a classic for sure, especially if you see the music video with it. Arthur Brown was one of the first to paint his face and was followed by one more famous, (alice cooper).
