This is quite a pivotal album in the life of Savoy Brown. After the release and gigs for this album, all of the band (apart from founder and leader Kim Simmons) would leave the band to form Foghat. Foghat would have huge success in the States, and Savoy Brown would soldier on and release a stack of albums, but eventually disappeared from the musical map. The band were part of the late sixties blues boom that would come out of the UK. This album draws heavily from what the Rolling Stones we’re doing at the time with Sticky Fingers and Exile. It’s a shame that the band would fall apart after this, as Simmons had found a great guitarist/vocalist and songwriting partner in Lonesome Dave Peverett.
IMHO, this album is the best the band put out. My personal favourite tracks are the blues/jazz instrumental of Sunday Night, which is very of its time but still sounds great, and Leaving Again, which would be the direction Foghat would head down after the split. If you like the blues rock boom bands, then give this one a listen.
7.5/10 from The Grooveman.
