Description
2017 release from the veteran blues outfit. Getting a re-release here in Australia…just a few years late!
Kim Simmonds founded Savoy Brown in October 1965. At 69 he still is Savoy Brown as the band is pretty much Kim Simmonds on guitar and vocals and whoever he has a back-line. Here we have him with Pat DeSalvo on bass and Garnet Grimm on drums doing a great job backing up this 69 year old British master of the blues guitar.
If the sleeve of Witchy Feelin’ suggests the macabre, then Savoy Brown’s iconic leader is happy to confirm it. “Blues has always dealt with themes of the Devil, witchcraft and so forth, and I’ve always written along those lines. At least three of the songs on Witchy Feelin’ have that hoodoo vibe…I tried to write songs that had a personal point of view yet can be relatable to everyone. On ‘Vintage Man’, I wrote about being the type of guy who doesn’t change as he gets older. I wrote about the power of love on ‘Why Did You Hoodoo Me’. And with ‘Guitar Slinger’, I wrote a song about seeing a great guitar player in an old country bar – as I did when I first saw Roy Buchanan in ’69.”
