Kim Simmonds & Jim Suhler - 2008 Dallas Guit Fest

If you're a fan of the 60's/70's British blues invasion, then you well remember Kim in Savoy Brown. He's still going strong today at 61. Here's a nice clip of a classic John Lee Hooker boogie (with a little Jerry Lee Lewis interlude), backed by Dallas' own Jim Suhler band (if you know Suhler, he's been in Thorogood's live band for 10+ years). Kim played with Suhler, solo acoustic and in some jams....a great addition to the legacy of the Dallas Int'l Guitar fest, and a supremely nice gentleman to chat with. As Kim says.....feel the PAIN of the blues (in the Dallas sun that is).

Words cannot describe this quintessential rock star. I chauffeured Kim Simmonds from the airport to this event in Dallas. This is the way it's done folks. Take notes. Fman

Wow I wore out their Raw Sienna album many years ago. So glad to see him sounding and looking great still!

I just saw Kim and Savoy Brown (whoever's in the band this week) at the Throckmorton Theatrer in Mill Valley and as usual they rocked the joint! SEE THEM!!! Your ears and soul will thank you.

I saw them a long time ago in Oklahoma City. Simmons new albums are great, these old guys seem to get better with age. I did like Chris Youlden on vocals.
