Wednesday, March 15: UFO, “Electric Phase”
R.I.P. Pete Way (1950-2020), Paul Raymond (1945-2019)
Lights Out was only slightly more focused than UFO’s previous two records, but the combination of Ron Nevison’s tight production and streamlined writing on a handful of key tracks, along with the addition of Paul Raymond on keyboards and rhythm guitar was enough to break the band in the US and make some headway in the UK. As a track, “Electric Phase” wasn’t dramatically different from No Heavy Petting, as it was slightly lurching and vaguely Sabbath with the crunching guitars, but Nevison brought more clarity to the proceedings, and Michael Schenker was getting more confident as a player with each record. Phil Mogg’s vocals had their usual swagger, but he too hadn’t yet fully developed into the lovable hooligan who frequently punched his way through the late ‘70s. There was a distinct heaviness to the track that stood apart from the band’s most famous material, but “Electric Phase” was full of personality and showed how UFO was building towards their legacy.

Savoy Brown’s Kim Simmonds Dies at 75
- “One of Kim’s last requests was to thank the fans of Savoy Brown,” management says
Kim Simmonds, the founder, guitarist and only permanent member of Savoy Brown, died Dec. 13.
His management announced Simmonds’ death Dec. 15 without giving a cause; the 75-year-old guitarist had recently been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.
“May he rest in peace,” the statement read. “One of Kim’s last requests was to thank the fans of Savoy Brown. Your support was, and shall always be, immensely appreciated.”
Savoy Brown released its first single in 1965 and went on to release 41 albums, most recently 2020’s Ain’t Done Yet.
Former Savoy drummer Keith Boyce remembered Simmonds as “a great player” with whom he had reunited on stage just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
“I had many a laugh on the road with him back in the ’80s touring the States,” Boyce said.
The guitarist was “certainly one of the best,” said the Sweetwater Band, who frequently opened for Savoy Brown.
“He was always so humble and genuinely interested in what we were up to,” the group said.
“Rest easy, Kim, and thanks for so many great years of stellar guitar playing and songwriting.”
Much like John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Savoy Brown was something of a blues-rock farm team. Its former members include singer Dave Walker of Fleetwood Mac and Black Sabbath; Yes and King Crimson drummer Bill Bruford; UFO’s Paul Raymond; former Vanilla Fudge bassist Tim Bogert; and the founding members of Foghat.
“We will miss you, Kim,” Foghat wrote on Facebook. “Rest now.”

Wednesday, April 19: Mogg/Way, “Muddy’s Gold”
R.I.P. Pete Way (1950-2020), Paul Raymond (1945-2019)
About 5 years before Michael Schenker relinquished rights to the UFO name, the current members of that band prepped an entire album with a different guitarist that they subsequently released as the second Mogg/Way record. And “Muddy’s Gold” opened Chocolate Box with a feel that, while completely different from what UFO was known for, actually presaged the bluesier and more southern rock approach Schenker himself would take when he briefly rejoined the group. Jeff Kollman’s playing was slinky but also quite heavy, and whether Phil Mogg was enthusiastic about working this guitarist or just eager to get back to work (most likely the former, since Mogg and Kollman would form a separate band together once Schenker came back), he sang with a passion we hadn’t heard from him since at least 1983. Really, everyone sounded excited to be playing together, and “Muddy’s Gold” should’ve been the beginning of a great new chapter for Mogg and Pete Way, though the presumed financial benefits of reteaming with Schenker under the UFO banner ultimately outweighed the quality of the music they were making with Kollman.
