Savoy Brown, one of the last of the original British blues bands. led by guitarist Kim Simmonds. Formed in 1965, the band has been through numerous lineup changes, with former members going on to be in Fleetwood Mac, UFO, King Crimson, Foghat and others.  The one constant has been Simmonds, who is showing no signs of slowing down. Hot on the heels of the critically-acclaimed album City Night from last year, the band returns with their 41st long player, appropriately titled Ain’t Done Yet.  Full of multi-layered guitars and the blues rock that Simmonds perfected decades ago.

He tells us why he decided to layer up the guitars on this album and the stories behind the songs.  Plus, interesting tidbits on how he chooses which guitar to play on each song and how he puts together demos.  Surprisingly, he also tells us good things that will come of the recent pandemic.
