For those unaware, Too Much Of A Good Thing - The Savoy Brown Collection 1992-2007 is not so much a Best Of CD, but a compilation of favorites from those 15 years of Savoy Brown recordings. Of course, there’s the usual multiple line-up changes in the personnel, all led by founding guitarist, Kim Simmonds.

Then again, this collection is a testament to the great musicians that have helped keep the legacy of Savoy Brown alive for over 60 years. Plenty of great blues/rock and never too much of a good thing.

Savoy Brown was formed by guitarist Kim Simmonds in 1965 in London, England. Simmonds was the group’s guiding hand from the first singles released in 1966 through 2022, his year of passing.

Formed in 1965 as the Savoy Brown Blues Band to big-up their Chicago-style credentials, they were named in honor of the American blues label Savoy Records, contrasting its perceived glamour with the negative association of the color brown. More than half a century later, guitarist/frontman Simmonds was the group’s last remaining original member and had guided his band through forty albums.

Many of the band’s singles and albums have appeared on the Billboard charts. Through the 1960s, 1970s and 1980’s songs such as “I’m Tired”, “Train to Nowhere”, “Tell Mama” and “Lay Back In The Arms Of Someone” became Hot 100 entries. Two of the band’s albums in the 1970s, “Looking In” and “Hellbound Train”, appeared on the Billboard Top Forty charts. This pattern continues today, culminating with “Witchy Feelin’,” the band’s 2017 album, reaching #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart.

Along the way, Savoy Brown has toured continuously, making it one of the longest running blues rock bands in existence. Through the years, the band has headlined concerts at many prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, the Fillmore East, the Fillmore West, and London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall.

Savoy Brown, having established national status in the 1970s, provided other groups opportunity. Kiss opened the bill on a Savoy Brown national tour as did ZZ Top, The Doobie Brothers and many, many more acts.
