Quarto Valley has announced the release of "Blues All Around", the new album from legendary British Blues Rock band Savoy Brown on February 17th, 2023. Shortly after the new album was completed, Savoy Brown founder, guitarist/ singer/ songwriter Kim Simmonds lost his hard-fought battle with cancer on December 13th, just a week after turning 75. While recuperating from his initial cancer treatments, Simmonds had begun work on the new album that was to become, "Blues All Around." The record is a strong and soul-drenched last statement from a true icon of British blues/rock who will never be forgotten.
Savoy Brown were contemporaries of Cream, Hendrix, and John Mayall in the late 1960s. By the early 1970s, they were an international sensation with hits like “Tell Mama" and “I’m Tired” making the Billboard charts. They also graced the stages of historic venues including Carnegie Hall, The Academy of Music, and the Fillmore East and West. Simmonds and his band helped define the sound of their era and created a proud body of work that few artists can match. The current SB lineup is Simmonds (guitar, harmonica, organ, and vocals) and his longtime bandmates Pat DeSalvo (bass) and Garnet Grimm (drums/percussion), which is as good a group as any other period in their career.
