KIM SIMMONDS

guitarist with blues-rock group Savoy Brown

“I bought a lot of singles, you know, 45s. But as far as the first album I bought, well, it would have been a blues record. It would have been a Freddie King album, probably.

“It might have been `Freddie King Goes Surfin’,’ which was all instrumentals. I remember that I bought that one. You know, it had nothing to do with surf music, but they were trying to sell it, I guess. It’s all marketing.”
