Goin' To The Delta

Pack a bag. Buckle up. Hit the gas. 'Goin' To The Delta' invites you to ride shotgun with Kim Simmonds on a musical road trip through his spiritual homeland. "When I started the band back in 1965," says Savoy Brown's iconic frontman and guitarist, "The concept was to be a British version of a Chicago blues band. Now, here we are in 2014, and once again, the music on this recording echoes the blues sounds of Chicago." 'Goin' To The Delta' is the sound of a band with the wind in their sails. Following 2011's acclaimed 'Voodoo Moon' and last year's whip-cracking live set, 'Songs From The Road', Savoy Brown are in a swagger, and you can hear the momentum on these 12 love letters to American blues. Rather than reinvent the wheel, Kim applies his own unmistakable thumbprint to the classic blues shapes, from upbeat Windy City bouncers like "Laura Lee" and "Nuthin' Like The Blues" to the weeping slowie "Just A Dream" and the stinging instrumental, "Cobra."
