CHAIN-TOWARDS THE BLUES-

This outfit from Australia where to be  recognized as one of the most progressive and famous bluesacts ever to come from the land down under. As this their full length debut released in 1971, the band had already gone through major membership replacements but they nailed it on this Classic recording.

The production is flawless and with the reissues on CD the remasters just put all the songs  in Place. The vocals interact great together with the fine tuned guitar and the steady rhythm section. There are no weak spots in that department. A very solid job!!

Whatabout the drummer, Barry Harvey?? This experienced drummer doesn´t make a fool of himself on this album. The striking abilities and the Dynamics are great. The hitratio and technique are top notch! The great interaction together with bass player Barry Sullivan just fits like a glove. This is an impressive recording with few mistakes and “to much” playing. The solid rhythm on this recording is the Foundation for the Classic reputation it got today. A very impressive job!! 🙂

Original copies are hard to find for a lower pricetag but there are the reissued 30 anniversery edition on CD. This is a must buy for the one´s who´s in for Brittish flavoured blues with a progressive attitude to it. Few records from this time period could reach this fullfillment. This is a true blues gem and let no one tell you otherwise…This is the true Hot, Blue and lonesome affair you been waiting for…Enjoy!!
