@kingdragonpie1337 you are entitled to your opinion.

[LrWash1]

i dont like this song

[MsPokeyman]

@LrWash1 you are entitled to your opinion but this is a GREAT SONG if you really listen - but maybe you are STUPID!!!

[xXCrossArrowXx]

Does anyone know the song where it goes "When I was a young boy, I was honest and I had more self control, when i was tempted I would, run..."

Anyone?

[MsPokeyman]

This is still the greatest MUSIC !!

[Nataliarayac]

Can it get better than this?? lyrics, music, his voice.. it's perfect.

[spacepatrolman]

@Nataliarayac they would get progressivly more jazzy with each album

[kevincanwait]

Well produced, arranged and recorded gets the credit as well...

the stuff of collective genius...and a place in music history.

just get a guitar, and you can be a star...

[kevincanwait]

help with lyrics...

I thought it went, "when I was a young boy, advice I was scorn...

now I'm getting a little older, I know I got a lot to learn..."

What say you?

[MsPokeyman]

Savoy Brown was the greatest during my era and still is - but they made the new PEOPLE as they are TODAY!!!!

[MsPokeyman]

@MsPokeyman

I am mspokeyman - THIS MUSIC is so GREAT ! WHAT IS RAP - I GUESS CRAP>>>LOL

[knuteboy36]

I came across this album by accident. I was listening to streaming internet radio and Needle and The Spoon came on and I was immediately taken. I had known of Savoy Brown but had never listened before. I got hold of this album and it's brilliant! Every song is really good.

[vladic1212]

I found this song by accident, and luckily its an quote"ah-mazing" song

[stevenrthr100]

@lovechild007 This good music from those times still exsists.Here it is.Who says we have to pay attn. to anything else ?

[russell92248]

When this album came out I was WAY into herion. I am now quite sucessful thank -you. No one I know is into this kind of music. Whooooo.

[Aeerobic]

@russell92248 i AM...STARTED LISTENING IN hIGH sCHOOL. 1968 - 72...LOVING IT...

[jorgekoala1]

i hate this !!!



[MrThundertom]

thanks kim s. ever thought about getting w/ alvin lee, and dave edmunds i would enjoy doing sound  I'd call it Pure Blues Trio thundertom

[Nickcat5]

Chris Youdlen was one the Best & Unhearlded Blues singers of the era. Easy my fav of the Savoy Brown lead singers. His work on 'Raw Sienna' was Fantabulous!!

[MalThorgan]

@Nickcat5 and what about "a Step Further"...Youlden....superb deep grainy vocal feeling !

[Nickcat5]

@MalThorgan Yes,another Good one.Also a Solo effort by Chris called 'City Child'. (I have that on Vinyl) Check out 'Blue Matter' which has a tune 'Train to Nowhere' which Rare Earth later covered

[cadin2020]

Lucky me, I was introduced to Savoy when I wouldn't pay $4.99 for the brand new cuts,, Savoy was there and waiting in the 99cent section,,, quick snatch and what a find,,, these guys tought me what good rock was- especially compared to what was coming out at the time.... I never could get enough of what my infant and young mind heard as FM was to take over... I'm glad I started on the AM waves and hung onto the vinyl I always scavanged...

[hddragracer1]

@cadin2020 Kim Simmonds started this band. I saw them at Filmore west in 1969. Rodger Earl, Rivers Jobe, David Peverett, Tone Stevens, and Chris Youlden was the singer. (in 1969) "Savoy Brown" is NOT a person in the band. duhhhh "Savoy Brown" is like the Beatles. There is no one in the band called "Beatle." Or there's no one called "Rolling Stone" duhhhh

[bettymax1234]

In a small town in New Mexico Savoy Brown along with Rory Gallager were heros. I wouldn't had made it through the seventies without them.

[agl00001]

This is no doubt a blues album unmatched with singer Chris Youlden who sounds like a Blackman but even better than that, can whale like a Whiteman. I was around at the time when this album came out, Raw Sienna. I listened to the whole album and never ever got tired of hearing every song. I love these in particular: When I Was A Young Boy, I’m Tired, Needle n Spoon

@agl00001 He sings Blues so he sounds black.? I never thought so.

[sfdog1369]

Thx Lorjim Ya Always Post Good Stuff

[tuxguys]

Speaking as someone who was there (1969)...

Generally, rock bands who had overlaid strings or horns (except the Beatles, of course) were considered wimpy, sell-outs, or at least suspect... nobody, ever, said that about this LP... Every addition of strings or horns on any track made perfect sense. Brilliant.

[tamm730]

das waren noch geile zeiten!

[maniacmarklewin52]

just gotta slow down on this one- way back

[cyclingfan55]

One of the worst songs I've ever heard...

[fed1126]

[StringRamblerBale]

[ljhyahoocom]

"You don`t get a sneak preview of what you`re gonna go through"...

"Sometimes, it`s too late".

Prophetic words

[Angelus8890]

[Byrontheone]

Lion's Share was a great album, saw them perform it live in San Rafael, in the day.

[karllattimer]

[RukifelthCreuz]

WHEN I WAS...

[nosorog91]

hell yes

[mailjeep]

Chris Youlden yes!!!!!!!!!!!

[nichecraft]

When you don't have an old friend handy a song like this reminds you of how worthwhile time spent in good company really is and thirty-odd years or so since you first heard it don't make a happenth o' difference.

[jdal1950]

what ahit this was a Chicago favorite

When I was a young boy perfect now after the gold rush more poignant in the rear view mirror I'm guessin 1970? James David

[ClivedCaptn]

Saw these guys at the Jazz Club in Chester in the late '60s - each year better and a new album. Got one signed. Love em! C x

[1dudeman2]

can anybody tell me their line-up?

[Mojokane4u]

This stuff kept me sane...ohhh the memories.

I must have listened to this song 10,ooo X's. All in one night....

STAY WHILE THE NIGHT IS YOUNG, A LITTLE MORE WINE, all their stuff was down home and real. Music with substance....abuse!...and truck loads of soul..BROTHER!!

It was LSD, hashish, heroin, cocaine, downers uppers, anything to get you out of your mind, and into your heart (and soul)...How distructive the "mind" can be. But it is a terrible thing to waste...

[trucollector]

How many times, over the years? When love failed, when jobs failed, when chagrined over another mistake, after another mistake. Yet the song remains constant . . .

[robin56]

@Mojokane4u  amen bro.

[lovechild007]

i think i was born in the wrong decade.

music nowadays just isn't half as good.

[Icyseven]

@lovechild007 me 2!! your completly right

[Useromanch]

@lovechild007 agree



[JoeSzilagy]

@lovechild007 95 per cent of my guitar and bass students, in their teens and younger, agree with you.

[Carlito1988]

The Chris Youlden years were the best!

[BigAndo21]

word

[bluesboypete]

I saw Savoy Brown at the Dome in Brighton in 1969 (May have been early 1970) they were awesome, supporting Jethro Tull. Bob Brunning the original bass player with Fleetwood Mac was with them for a while. Bob took over from me as bass player in the Lonesome Whistle Blues Band. Another great band from this era was Steamhammer, anybody remember them?

[inn7516]

Of course I remember!"Junior's Wailing", right? "Put your arms around me, like a circle 'round the sun"). And all the other great Blues bands,can't count them all: Stan Webb's Chicken Shack with Christine Perfect ("I'd rather go blind", the early Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green, Savoy Brown with Chris Youlden, the Climax Chicago Blues Band, Barbed Wire Sandwich (I still have their album "Black Cat Bones". Today I read on Wikipedia that the album is highly sought after by collectors...

[mikekorz]

Peter Green and Kim Simmons are very similar in their guitar playing, I wonder if they played in the same clubs???

[VidMaster10]

This was the best Savoy Brown lineup all time!

Who knows how big they would have become had Chris stayed on as the singer?

What great albums he made with them!

[likotinara]

Latest news on Chris Youlden is that he is recovering slowly but surely fom his recent illness. Chris is featured on Shakey Vick Blues Band latest album 'Got Blues If Ya Wannit' on Widespace Records.

[bwbigdog]

Growing up in southern cal in the 70's rocked with music like this to keep us high.

[ljhyahoocom]

Hey,we rocked to this stoned in Indiana,too!

LJH

[fool4music]

The song says it all!!! Awesome...thanks for posting

[ljhyahoocom]

You`re right. And you`re welcome for the post.

Laura

[drjay73]

Dave Walker was no slouch

[sirsartana]

CHris Youlden was a awesome singer and the band was never the same when he departed...great song

[tronester]

Brilliant, I grew up listening to Savoy Brown. After hearing this song I feel like a little more wine! And if the river was whiskey I'd be a diving duck. Cheers

[rockinroller7]

tronester,

Yeah, seems like there was always wine.

I'd be right behind you!

[tronester]

rockinroller7, the lines "I feel like alittle more wine and if the river was whiskey I'd be a diving duck" are lines from 2 Savoy Brown songs. It's a play on words. Do you know the songs there from?

[rockinroller7]

Tronestar,

We have 2 "plays," it wasn't meant to be.

As in, "Yeah, seems "Like there," was wine, drank from goat skin pouch, carried around with us with a belt, to strap it over one shoulder,with the bag resting under the opposite shoulder.

To see S. Brown, The Allman Brothers, Riders of the Purple Sage, Poco,James Gang. And, "right behind you," taking a swig.

Pouches up, back, down, and below myself, most of all were being drank from, at a constantly moving pace.

Hare Krishna.

[vaginyabelle]

RIPPLE.

[rockinroller7]

vaginyabelle,

Got a laugh from me.

Thanks.

Hare Krishna.

[1339Labrosse]
