A
writer, a poet or the scribe of combined lyrics and sweated out notes
should never stop searching for a truth, should never allow the music
that floats in their head to become stifled or desolate, to become as
barren and featureless as the deserts or as bland as deep black space
when there is no cosmos to stare in open-mouthed wonder at. The music
should never be seen as suffocating or unbearable to be around, it
should never consume to the point of being bled dry and if does, if it
should manage to challenge this and win through, then it is time to
either call it a day or walk away for a while and regroup.
For Kim
Simmonds and Savoy Brown, the word stifling only enters the dictionary
as a gathering point between star and stunning and the welcome to the
Blues genre that the songs from the new album have made is intense,
almost verging on the beautifully uncontrollable and the sense of the
cool that is thrust into the limelight is to be believed as one believes
in the singular truth that carries a person’s being through life.
The
Devil To Pay might be a tough credit account to keep in the black, but
the blues always finds a way to keep the balance from entering the red,
and certainly since the start of the turn of the century, that balance
has crept ever higher and not found its way into the recession of
disturbing insipid Blues. The Devil To Pay is no Faustian Pact either by
either the band or Kim Simmonds, this is just the accumulation of great
musicianship made honest and real and with the knowledge that the
tracks on the album are as good as anything laid down before them.
Songs
such as Bad Weather Brewing, the sincerity that resonates in Grew Up In
The Blues, Stop Throwing Your Love Around and the reversal of gender
stereotypes in the culture of drinking in Whiskey Headed Baby all
combine to give the devil his due but also stir up such emotion in the
angels that the Blues knows that it lives and breathes still as the 21st
Century progresses ever onwards.
The mischievous spirit lives on,
the Devil plays unheard sax in the background and the tune is enough to
keep on rocking, The Devil To Pay grins with healthy roguish charm.
