Black and Blue Black and Blue
Song written by Chain's original members, Matt Taylor, Phil Manning, Big and Lil Geese. This is what you call a real Circular Blues Feel.
Quiet Revolution Quiet Revolution
This song is more jazz than blues, of course all jazz has some sort of blues feel within. The music is very SMOOTH JAZZ PLAYING. From the brushes to the change over to sticks it is pure jazz swing in a cool manner.
Chain Boogie Chain Boogie
The first Australian Blues song to reach no. 1 on the National Charts and a Masterpiece of a feel.

Great work...Keep it up, if you get a chance, check out my page, Let me know if you like the songs Come With Me and Journey
Direct from Oz - genuine, creative, inspired, white man's blues, belonging right up there on the mantle beside Chicken Shack, Peter Green, Canned Heat, the Groundhogs and Cream. Here in North America, Chain was lamentably always a cult band - their records were collector's items hotly sought after by the underground blues cognoscenti. Chain came from an era when music was playful art created by musicians, not dull product dictated by accountants, and a song was as long as it needed to be, not 3 minutes and 20 seconds. Thank you Barry (Ginger) Harvey, Phil Manning, Big Goose, Matt Taylor and all the rest - listening to this stuff now transports me to a much richer musical time in history.
