Original Australian Blues.......2001-10-10

Matt Taylor and Phil Manning are a powerful force up front, with fantastic bass and drums backing Matt's awseome harp and Phil's guitar. Matt has a voice from hell. His singing style is unique and their lyrics are true blue. Get this album, and "Towards the Blues", and any other album, but see them live if you can. They seldom get together as Chain but when they do it's great. I remember when I was young - in the 70s catching this band whenever and wherever I could. An awesome band that encapsulates the raw power of Aussie flavour blues. Chain Blues. OZ Blues.

A Great Australian Blues Band.......2001-09-23

CHAIN were/are a classic Australian blues band, but sadly most of you will never have heard of them, unless you're a slightly older Australian groover (like me). A fantastic harmonica playing vocalist in Matt Taylor & a brilliant guitarist in Phil Manning, backed by a very solid bass & drum section. They just don't get stuck on the blues, but vary their material from blues to rock to almost jazz & points in between.
This is a great (good value) double CD of their older material circa 1974, but really it's not the place to start. If your funds are limited & you could only afford one CD by the band then the MUST HAVE for your collection MUST be their 1971 album "TOWARDS THE BLUES". This has just been re-released in Australia (September-2001) as "TOWARDS THE BLUES - 30th ANNIVERSARY" & is now even better as it now also contains both "Judgement" & "Blow In D" (both classics & both of which should have been on "TOWARDS THE BLUES" in the first place, but weren't due to lack of space on the old vinyl format) from The History of Chain CD, as well as the original vinyl single version of the classic "Black & Blue". Seek out "TOWARDS THE BLUES" it's a true 5 Star classic, every songs is a real winner, especially the 10.45 minute boogie masterpiece "BOOGIE". Then if you're really into the band (& you will be), this double CD set "The History Of Chain" is the logical next step. Note: the tracks "Black & Blue, Dust My Blues & 32/20 on History are LIVE tracks. Enjoy!

The Greatest Ever Australian Blues Band.......2001-02-22

For Thirty Years Matt Taylor and Chain have lived, breathed and played the blues. Their guitar and harmonica playing is awesome. This CD is an excellent representation of their work and if you love blues/rock I cannot reccomend this CD highly enough. Its sensational.
