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.All comments (2)
