SAVOY BROWN–STREET CORNER TALKING-

This outfit from Battersea South London UK released this, their 7th album in 1971. Perhaps the most perfected album by this outfit and the album that would get them to make notice in the great land in the west. Endless touring the States to promote their albums got them to be more recognized in the US and it was here they selled their albums. Fame and fortune beyond the common man eluded them and perhaps this was a consequence of constant change of line ups, but it never took away the passion for touring and making Music.

The production of this Blues/hard/Southern album is just as fresh today and the songs are up there with the best of the genre. The terrific guitar and perfect match vocals are a delicious treat for your ears. This is the guiding light for blues bands to come in the 70´s. A very good album.

Whatabout the drummer, Dave Bidwell??? This is a eminent impression of a fellow with passion for drumming and a sweet laidback style of hitting the toms. The striking abilities are great with soft spoken interaction between the drive and hitratio. Nothing to bring back to rehearsal room but there are a few tricks and perhaps most, a perfect level of striking delivery that does fits like a glove. The departure of  previous members just put a new fresh perspective into the songs. Just a splendid work!

This is just one of those albums you must have in your record Collection. As a bearer of Brittish blues with cool Southern seasoning, there are very few albums to compete with this one from the timeperiod. Great original copies are out there and both Reissues and CD´s are plenty for the buck. If you don´t have this album it is a good tip to search for this for the masterpiece at your next visit to the vinylfair and alone just for the coverart…

The ” must have beer” to go along as spinning the record at the turntable speaks for itself…Just enjoy.. 🙂
