    About this album

    Toward The Blues is a hard-edged, rootsy statement from Australian blues outfit Chain, one of the key groups in the country's early 1970s blues boom. Issued in 1971, the album leans on driving harmonica, lean guitar work and an uncluttered band sound that keeps the performances direct and forceful. Its set draws on blues tradition while pushing it into a local, contemporary context, with songs such as 32/20 and Snatch It Back And Hold It underlining the group's command of the form. Chain's impact helped establish Australian blues as more than a revival movement, giving the style a tougher, home-grown identity.
