Garnet Grimm

Today on The Neil Haley Show, Neil "The Media Giant" Haley,
Caregiver Dave, and David Hollenbach will interview Garnet
Grimm of The Savoy Brown Band.


The band is proud and excited to have released its new
album, Blues All Around, worldwide on
Quarto Records, on February
17.    


The release of the new album is especially poignant in that it
comes after the December 13 passing from cancer of band founder
and sole constant Savoy Brown member guitarist/lead vocalist Kim
Simmonds.


Simmonds is considered one of music’s premier blues/blues
rock guitarists and songwriters and is also discussed as one of
the architects of the 1960’s British blues scene in
London.  





Savoy Brown was formed in 1965 by Simmonds in London, England as
the Savoy Brown Blues Band.  Simmonds had been the
group’s guiding hand from the first singles released in 1966
through the band’s newest effort, Blues All
Around. 





Throughout the years, the band became known for their fierce
dedication to blues music, music which not only remained faithful
to their deep blues-roots but could also rock like
mad.  The band were always true road warriors as well,
their non-stop touring also becoming a hallmark of the band’s
legacy.





Lead by Simmonds’ clean, crisp, biting guitarwork, the band’s
peerless sound quickly became a staple of the 60s music scene and
lasted right up through Kim’s unfortunate
passing.   The band developed a loyal core
following throughout the world, particularly in the U.S.
