Legendary British Blues Rock band\u00a0Savoy Brown<\/strong>\u00a0led by founding member\u00a0Kim Simmonds<\/strong>, announces the\u00a0August 28\u00a0<\/strong>release of their exciting new album, \u201cAin\u2019t Done Yet<\/strong>\u201d, on\u00a0Quarto Valley Records<\/strong>. The new album follows Savoy Brown\u2019s critically acclaimed 2019 album, \u201cCity Night.\u201d The CD and vinyl editions of the album can be pre-ordered from Amazon at\u00a0http:\/\/smarturl.it\/AintDoneYet<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe new album continues the approach I\u2019ve been taking with the band this past decade<\/em>,\u201d says guitarist\/singer\/songwriter\u00a0Kim Simmonds<\/strong>, who formed the band in 1965 in London, England, and is one of the longest running Blues Rock bands in existence. \u201cThe big difference with the new album is the multi-layer approach I took to recording the guitar parts. It\u2019s all blues-based rock music. I try to find new and progressive ways to write and play the music I\u2019ve loved since I was a young teenager.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energetic blues has been the calling card of the band from the beginning. Blues Rock became the catch-all phrase in the late 1960s to describe the band\u2019s music along with that of contemporaries including\u00a0Cream<\/strong>,\u00a0Fleetwood Mac<\/strong>, and\u00a0Jimi Hendrix<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the way,\u00a0Savoy Brown<\/strong>\u00a0has toured continuously, making it one of the longest running blues rock bands in existence. Through the years, the band has headlined concerts at many prestigious venues including\u00a0Carnegie Hall<\/strong>, the\u00a0Fillmore East,<\/strong>\u00a0the\u00a0Fillmore West<\/strong>, and London\u2019s prestigious\u00a0Royal Albert Hall<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savoy Brown<\/strong>, having established national status in the 1970s, provided other groups opportunity.\u00a0Kiss\u00a0<\/strong>opened the bill on a Savoy Brown national tour as did\u00a0ZZ Top<\/strong>,\u00a0The Doobie Brothers<\/strong>\u00a0and many, many more acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A resident of the USA since 1980, bandleader Simmonds has received many accolades himself. These include placement on the front cover of\u00a0Guitar Player<\/strong>\u00a0magazine, enshrinement on the\u00a0Hollywood Rock Walk of Fame<\/strong>\u00a0and acceptance in many regional \u201cHalls of Fame\u201d in the USA and Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savoy Brown<\/strong>\u00a0helped spawn the 1968 UK Blues Rock boom and later opened the eyes of many 1970s American teenagers to their own home territory blues artists.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British R&B boom of the early 1960s led directly to the British Blues Explosion in 1968. \u00a0The original London R&B boom led by\u00a0The Rolling Stones<\/strong>,\u00a0The Kinks<\/strong>,\u00a0The Yardbirds<\/strong>,\u00a0Pretty Things<\/strong>\u00a0and, to some extent,\u00a0The Beatles<\/strong>, quickly moved into mainstream pop and left a vacuum in the London clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This vacuum, in London, was filled in the mid-1960s by\u00a0John Mayall\u2019s Bluesbreakers<\/strong>\u00a0featuring\u00a0Eric Clapton<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Savoy Brown\u2019s Blues Band featuring Kim Simmonds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
