Sam Brown is a genius
Even your favourite records tend to disappear in the depths of your collection very now and then. I’ve recently rediscovered the excellent solo albums from Deep Purple family friend Sam Brown. These are albums packed with soulful, bluesy, well played, well arranged, well, simply great music from, in my opinion at least, one of the finest singers on the planet.
Since great music has to be looked for these days I decided to search the net to find out what Sam is uip to these days. It turns out she had some problems with her voice but that she is better now and she has fairly recently released a new album. “Of the moment”. A title apparently inspired by fans’ suggestions for a new title. The album is available from Sam’s online store. You can preview a couple of tracks from the album at her Myspace site.
Sam has also been the singer of the band Homespun.
Sure, it’s not hardrock but since some of you are even able to enjoy Blackmore’s Night with a straight face, I am sure your minds are open enough to take this in as well.

Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Absolutley fantastic voice…

July 29th, 2008 at 10:55The favourite female voice for me.
A great singer a fuabulous musician.
Hmmmm… The Hammond -Solo in the long (abum) version of her greatest hit “Stop” – alwways sound to me as it would be played by Jon Lord. But the album notes say it another keyboarder.But it’s a fantstic hammond-solo.

July 29th, 2008 at 16:03I have a few of her singles and LP’s from back when she was on the “Purple record lable”. I’ve always considered her as one of the best…..but then, Purple generally surround themselves with the best.
Maybe when Candice leaves Ritchie, he will replace her with Ms Brown. She is much more talented than Night and has better range. I’d love to hear her do some of the Blackmore’s Night tunes. Then you’d have 2 extremely talented people instead of a mediocre “monotone harlot” riding on the guitar virtuoso’s tights.
Cheers
July 29th, 2008 at 17:24She’s way hot! Her mother Vickie sang with Jon Lord too.
July 30th, 2008 at 08:40Thanks for correcting me CG. I meant Her mum’s records…….
Too many ale’s……
July 31st, 2008 at 00:41I would like to know what’s the best album from Vicky and from Sam Brom.
July 31st, 2008 at 10:48Can someone help?
Thanks
She was better with long blond hair
July 31st, 2008 at 10:49I don’t know… they did a lot seperately, and some together, this might help. http://www.xs4all.nl/~josvg/cits/vicki.html
As for Sam, she has worked with so many, from George Harrison to Adam Ant. I had no idea she sang on The Firm tracks or Gary Moore’s After The War album, she’s done quite a bit over the years. You got me curious enough to find this. http://www.onecandle.co.uk/discography/sbbvox.html
July 31st, 2008 at 20:30You are absolutely bloody right Svante! Underrated vocalist – at least outside the UK, where I know she has performed frequently with Jools Holland’s orchestra – and a good songwriter too! I should look for the Sam Brown albums I haven’t got this very minute! Thanks for reminding me!
July 31st, 2008 at 22:26I prefer The Pussycat Dolls 🙂
Have a nice weekend Purpleheads,
Cheers
August 1st, 2008 at 17:34i dont think she sings MUCH better than candice -notice i said “much” and as far as the looks department candy’s for sure got her beat
August 1st, 2008 at 20:55SWEET WOMAN AND GREAT VOICE. GOD BLESS YOU.
August 3rd, 2008 at 13:22Don´t ask Sam Brown to join the stage if you´re afraid she´s going to steal the show because she will.
