CHRIS YOULDEN, KIM SIMMONDS, LONESOME DAVE, ROGER EARL, TONE STEVENS
Part of the late-'60s blues-rock movement, Britain's Savoy Brown never achieved as much success
in their homeland as they did in America, where they promoted their albums with nonstop touring.
The band was formed and led by guitarist Kim Simmonds, whose dominating personality
has led to myriad personnel changes; the original lineup included singer Bryce Portius,
keyboardist Bob Hall, guitarist Martin Stone, bassist Ray Chappell, and drummer Leo Manning.
This lineup appeared on the band's 1967 debut, Shake Down, a collection of blues covers.
Seeking a different approach, Simmonds dissolved the group
"RAW SIENNA"
Produced by Kim Simmonds and Chris Youlden

This high-water mark by the band finds them softening their rougher edges
and stretching out into jazz territory, yet still retaining a blues foundation.
There's not a bad cut here, with enough variety (bottleneck slide, acoustic guitar,
horns, and strings) to warrant frequent late-night listenings. "A Hard Way to Go,"
"Needle and Spoon," and "Stay While the Night Is Young" are especially strong,
as are two instrumental numbers. Unfortunately, leader Kim Simmonds lost
his greatest asset when vocalist Chris Youlden quit for an ill-fated solo career
after this recording. Youlden had one of the most distinctive voices in British blues,
and Savoy would never fully recover from his exit...(AllMusic)
