Peter, you may find this interesting ... I just found a CD with a few 'Chasin' the Train' tracks that were recorded live-to-2 track (that dates it!) back in about 1990. The band was usually a 4 piece consisting of:
Me - slide guitar. vocals
Kevin Bennett - guitar, vocals
Mark Meyer: Drums
Ian Less: bass
... and that night we had Alan Mansfield sitting in on piano. He was originally from the US where he worked with Robert Palmer, he moved to Oz in the mid 80's.
The vocals sound a little chipmunky ... I can't recall either of us sounding like that, but who knows? It was many years ago now. I sang lead on this.
The band was a 'fun' band ... we did this one recording -- all covers -- that we sold as a cassette at gigs. We never rehearsed, the songs sort of arranged themselves over a few gigs. Kevin has gone on to front his own award winning country/roots band The Flood, down here; Mark moved to Adelaide and plays there; Ian is a very in demand bass player in Sydney; Alan is still in Sydney producing, as far as I know ... I'm here typing this.
It's 9 minutes long!! About 9 Mbs.

There's another with Kevin singing live, here. We had James Cox on percussion at that stage:

Kevin sure knows how to sing ... we had that band going for close to 15 years in some form or other and I was blown away by his voice every gig. It was, as they say, awesome to share the stage with him.
Cheers!
