Add your review here. Mostly good return to form Review written by John Fitzgerald, March 24th, 2005 Dave Walker returned to the recording studio apparently after many years away with his old pal Kim Simmonds in a reshuffled version of Savoy Brown with this early 1988 release. There's some reworked oldies but goodies from the Savoy catalog like "Hard way to go" (which doesn't have the suspense the original had but Walker fills out the vocals better here than Youlden did originally) and some work better than others (on one hand, "Tell mama" should be heard on "Street corner talking" first before hearing this bland run through but "Shot in the head" here is a numbing cover, rocking harder than it did on "Lion's share") but the more positive tracks win you over. The growling opener "Limousine boogie (Hey hey mama)" sounds like your typical ZZ Top rocker and holds it's end up well, "Just for kicks" is an up tempo stroll which engagingly has Dave in talk sing style at the beginning and then he goes in to his effective growling vocal style helped by the strong guitar shouts. "Good time lover" starts with almost "Rubber biscuit" style vocals from Walker joined by ragtime boogie woogie piano which with the next verse is joined by drums & bass and then is finally joined by scorching lead guitar breaks with campy applause when the track ends making one wonder how seriously they were talking this track. However, the classic driving shouter "Goin' down" has howling guitars and this is one of my personal favorite renditions of this song (though I'm sure many other listeners may find it rather mundane). The pulsing boogie of "Don't tell me it's over" is my favorite track on this album at the moment. With a strong tune it doesn't let it's plinky keys hold it back. "Runnin' with a bad crowd" is a lighter track which isn't bad but I just don't find it a highlight as it's somewhat insignificant though "Breakin' up" is also a lighter track with it's plucky keys but it's a more catchy song and has a strong guitar solo. The closing "On the prowl" again makes you wonder how serious they're being as it's just a throwaway (though admittedly amusing) "street corner conversation (by mainly DW) sound effects with light finger snapping instrumental blues musical backing" doodling. Nevertheless, there's lots of impressive material here to get you interested in the first place, it worked for me anyways.
