Kim Simmonds Has Passed @ 75.

Kim Simmonds, co-founder of Savoy Brown and guitarist extraordinaire has passed away from Cancer at the young age of 75.  He was a Blues oriented guitar player and has been called the Jimi Hendrix of the Blues.  I got to see him perform twice, both times in small clubs and he was very mesmerizing. His last few albums, “Lost in the Delta” and “The Devil to Pay” were true masterpieces, his guitar playing exemplary, and very strong vocals.  I also saw him perform with Savoy Brown in the early 70’s when the albums “Street Corner Talking” and “Hellbound Train” were released.  Another one of the greats gone way too soon.
