Barrence Whitfield & The Savages are back with Glory

Barrence Whitfield & The Savages celebrate 40 years of rockin' with the Mike Mariconda-produced Glory on FOLC Records.

Here's the scoop...

Barrence Whitfield And The Savages are back after a five year hiatus with a new LP titled Glory on Madrid's FOLC Records that was recorded in Valencia, Spain in May 2023. The Savages are now in their 40th year of recording and this 12-track LP is a genre bending pile driver that has the same energy as their self-titled LP from 1983. 

The band features original line-up core members Barrence Whitfield, Peter Greenberg, and Phil Lenker along with Andy Jody and Tom Quartulli who have been with the band a dozen years. The LP was produced by Mike Mariconda and the Savages were joined on this recording by Spencer Evoy on baritone sax. The Savages most recently had a successful run of recordings on Bloodshot Records, having re-grouped in 2010. They continue to unleash their distinctive brand of rock and roll that mixes up a cocktail of soul, blues and garage.
