Give Savoy Brown credit for carrying on when most of their peers have packed it in. There aren't many blues-rock bands from the late '60s still performing and recording, so it is noteworthy that they're still active. And from the sounds of The Blues Keep Me Holding On, they probably give a pretty good concert, too. Unfortunately, they don't make very interesting albums. The Blues Keep Me Holding On is a predictable mix of standards ("Going Down to Mobile," "Little Red Rooster"), contemporary covers, and new songs, all given straight-ahead arrangements and clean production. There are moments were the band starts cooking, but by and large, it all comes across as a bit flat. Longtime fans may want to consider adding it to their collection, since it isn't a bad listen, but less dedicated listeners probably will want to stick with the original albums or check out Savoy Brown in concert. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Blister Pack

Down Beat (7/00, p.74) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Kim Simmonds continues to stay in the fray, joining up with bassist Nathaniel Peterson and drummer Tom Compton for this album...switching off on lead vocals...and the untiring rock warrior's guitar most always gets the job done..."
Dirty Linen (4-5/00, p.76) - "...starts unassumingly with a lazy harp/slide ramble, 'Going Down To Mobile'....The songs are mostly Simmonds originals with a couple Willie Dixon nuggets....Simmonds and his buddies do blues-rock righteously enough to do them proud."

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars son of a gun
great playing,great vocals,what else can I say. One of the best Savoy Brown Albums and certainly the best I have heard from Mr. Simmons since the mid-seventies, when he started trailing off into uninspired commercial hard rock. This is a fine album, he really has a great style,unlike washed up plodders like Leslie West who use the "blues" to try and maintain some silly kind of guitar hero rep.Nathaniel Petersons vocals are super. Only miss on this record to me is the much overdone cover of Little Red Rooster. Go for this one

In his brief liner essay, Kim Simmonds -- whose name is synonymous with Savoy Brown, having founded the group and been its only constant member -- says that this record is a return to basics without artifice, gimmicks, or varnish. OK. Fair enough. But if this is back to the raw blues for Simmonds and company on his millionth album, then why does it sound so polished? Steel's sound is very clean, and its approach to songs is, too -- the Lowell Fulsom tune "Monday Morning Blues" that opens the set is all but unrecognizable, having had all of its tough R&B and soul taken away to create a guitar wanker's trio approach. There's plenty of wah-wah, speaking of no artifice. Savoy's rumbling slide guitar craziness of old is back on Simmonds' boogie "Long as I've Got You," with its stinging slide guitar and plenty of amplifier distortion. The guitarist, who also functions -- unfortunately ...

The first impression made here is surprisingly not from the master's guitar, but from his vocal, the song itself more of a doo wop ballad than a gutbucket blues. The only kind of T-Bone still savored by European blues fans since the mad cow disease scare barely plays guitar at all as the song begins to unfold, casually wrapping his lips around the lines like a saloon singer with a couple of shots under his belt. But when the instrumental section starts and he begins playing guitar, that's when the listener knows for sure this isn't a Johnny Hartman record. I Want a Little Girl was originally recorded in the late '60s for release on another label, and is in some ways like some of the sides Hartman created for Impulse with small combos backing him, sometimes even featuring guitarists, although never with the edge exhibited by Walker. That is not to say that the knives and swords brandished by the king of the Texas guitarists here are his sharpest and deadliest. The fact is, this is a relatively laid-back session to the point where the comparison to a smooth crooner such as Hartman becomes no joke, as the second side cuddles in with a version of "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You" that is probably more delightful than what Hartman himself might have made of ...

My life was a turbulent conundrum during the writing and recording of ‘Sassafrass' I was just coming to closure with yet another tumul-tuous relationship (that ended badly), a few of my immediate family members were stricken with serious health issues, I was betrayed by a couple of close friends over women and money, I'd lost my job, I couldn't afford proper studio time, I had two cars repossessed and fell bed ridden ill for weeks with both the flu and acute pneumonia.

Murphy's law was in full effect.

The contradiction kicked in when I realized that the worse my circum-stances were, the more prolific my song writing was. Half of many of the songs on ‘Sassafrass' and all of both ‘Catwalk In Paris' and ‘Apasionado' were literally recorded in bed with an overhead mic and my instruments in my lap. Which is why in the album credits ...
