Blues With a Feeling
From the album: Two of a Kind (1973)
Two of a Kind is the second studio album by Australian blues rock group Chain, released in 1973 under Mushroom Records. The album featured keyboardist Ian Clyne, former Madder Lake woodwind instrumentalist Mal Capewell, and notable blues musicians James "Peewee" Madison & George "Mojo" Beauford. In 1971, after the release of the what now is an Australian cult classic, 'Toward the Blues', Chain decided to part ways as Matt Taylor wanted to start recording his own solo material. The original 1970 line-up reformed in 1972, but the band split, leaving Manning, Sullivan, and Harvey as the 15th version. The new lineup released two singles, "I Thought You Weren't My Friend" and "I'm Gonna Miss You Babe." Despite not achieving significant success, the revamped group made a strong impression on the touring circuit, performing at the Down Under Rock Festival in Melbourne. Chain toured nationally as the supporting act for the Muddy Waters Band and collaborated with members of the Muddy Waters Band to record material for their upcoming album, Two Of A Kind. The Garrison Disco in Prahran, Melbourne, was closed in June 1973 due to pressure from the local council. Chain was invited to honor the establishment during its final days.
