DP takes gold *and* silver!
Actually, I didn't get this list from wanderlist.com. I got it from the
Savoy Brown website (see #7 on the list). I vaguely remembered Savoy
Brown from way back, and I decided to pick up their best hits CD a week
or two ago.
What a pleasant surprise it was! Four or five songs on that album are
absolute gems! Check it out yourself.
I guess Savoy Brown is still around, but the core of the band (three
members) split off way back to form Foghat. What a shame. I have never
been particularly impressed by Foghat. I don't know if that's because
the main talent stayed behind with SB or what. Whatever the case, I
wish SB had stayed together, because they did some truly inspired
blues/rock. Oh well.
