There is one Savoy Brown LP (1970's Looking In... contains an earlier version of Leaving Again) that is effectively Foghat with Kim Simmonds on lead in place of Rod Price... Lonesome Dave was vox throughout... pretty good LP too... they all split at that point and Foghat was born...

I have a fondness for the first two Foghat albums, but I have to say that I think they sounded their best on Fool For The City and In The Mood For Something Rude. The common element there was bassist/producer Nick Jameson. He brought out their best.

Savoy Brown is one of my favorite bands. I love the older Chris Youlden stuff, but I think their best would be Street Corner Talkin' with Dave Walker on vocals.

I met Taylor Swift's bass player a couple of times and we became sort of friends. He invited me for the Taylor Swift gig in The Netherlands last year. We went for some beers first and afterwards I saw the concert.

I would've never payed 90 euros to see her, but the show was great. Normally I see old people with guitars (Who, Macca, Noel Gallagher, Weller) in such venues and now I got a show with nine dancers, rotating catwalks, ress changes, the works! 17.000 people with LED wrist bands, which were lighting up or flickering in different colours. So the whole venue was flashing blue or non flashing red, .... It was great to see such a show:) And her songs are nice too. I think she got some positive reception after Ruan Adams covered her complete album.

Next week back to just guys and guitars. Vintage Trouble. Basvarken will see them tonight and I will see them wednesday... ...exact 3 years after I saw them opening for the Who! July 5th 2013 and July 5th 2016.

And then there's the live side of Savoy Brown's Blue Matter album. Lonesome Dave singing all 3 tracks because Chris Youlden was down with something. Until this day one of my fave slices of 60s UK white boy blues.

... all five current Taylor Swift albums plus the 13 CD Foghat Bearsville Years Boxed Set on my Brennan B2 hard disk in the office. I was done with ripping Nick Cave and Einstürzende Neubauten.

What does that make me? Eclectic, mad, indiscriminate or just equipped with a plain bad taste throughout the decades?

13 Foghat CDs is a lot.

I have a theory that good taste and Gemans are like two parallel lines, they can never meet. Thanks to Uwe I have just proved you I am right.

I think your theory deserves some consideration.

I have a sudden itch to have a couple of people of this forum summarily shot to restore a semblance of order!

If it wasn't for me, those Dutchies wouldn't even know who Vintage Trouble are! Would have loved to go.

Heard the first Foghat album this morning - you've got to start somewhere -, liked what I heard, even some Beatles influence in places. They do play Maybellene fast!

I greatly favor the Von Steuben approach for maintaining order.

I will speak in favor of decorum on this forum:

I apologise for my misbehaviour, and I will humbly accept my punishment. I really hope its not Celine Dion this time...

Highlander · July 04, 2016, 03:59:15 PM

I will stand up and let it be known... I like Titanic...

Here's a Celine antidote...John Carpenter's theme from Big Trouble in Little China, with Carpenter and two of his friends from USC film school performing the song as The Coup de Villes.

One of the more fun movies made in that period!

exiledarchangel · July 05, 2016, 01:59:08 AM

Pilgrim, your taste in movies is just amazing, "Big Trouble in Little China" is one of my favourites!

I used to think the Gong track 'Fohat Digs Holes in Space' was called 'Foghat Digs Holes in Space'. Beyond that I have nothing.

My girlfriend is a fan of Taylor Swift. I quite like the composition but I find the albums are a bit brickwall'd for my tastes. I find music like that triggers a bit of a fight-or-flight response. An acoustic guitar shouldn't be that punchy.
