Sean Chambers Live with the Savoy Brown Rhythm Section
Quatro Valley, 2025
9/10
Listen to Live At Daryl’s House Club
The veteran blues rocker Sean Chambers returns with a 9th album, where The Savoy Brown Rhythm Section are along for the 12 lively tracks.
The booming and driving “Cobra” starts the listen with Garnet Grimm’s hard hitting drums and Pat De Salvo’s flowing bass complementing Chambers’ thick guitar playing, and “I Need Your Loving” follows with a calmer spirit, where Chambers’ gritty pipes guide the powerful blues.
Landing close to the middle, “10 Til Midnight” allows for the precise rhythm section to emit dense grooves amid Chambers’ meticulous guitar, while “Bullfrog Blues” is a tribute Rory Gallagher, and does his memory justice with the energetic and anthemic quality that’s all power and soul.
“Louisiana Blues” and “Brown Sugar” exit the listen. The former comes with a mesmerizing quality that thumps and swirls with intrigue, and the latter chugs with intensity and cautious moments of timeless and authentic blues.
The sound quality here is excellent, as are the songs, where the trio emit plenty of solos and dynamic interaction that anyone with an ear for the blues will enjoy.
