THE country-music genre has gained a new lease of life through alt-country artists. But as it continues to lose its forefathers, the blues genre seemed destined to slowly fade away. Fortunately, performers such as Ben Harper and John Butler have kept the flame alight by injecting youthful zest into the music with their honest songs and blistering live shows. Now Sydney's Chase the Sun are being tipped to carry the mantle. The band join the dots between early US bluesmen, 1960s British revivalists and '70s Australian blues-rock bands such as the Aztecs and Chain. But rather than just turn up the volume for maximum impact, they play with a dexterity that goes beyond bourbon-swilling 12-bar blues. Their secret weapon is frontman Jan Rynsaardt, whose booming gruff vocals recall both Howlin' Wolf and Captain Beefheart. When the brilliant guitarist bonds with his dynamic rhythm section, they come on like blues-funk monsters Gov't Mule. ~Patrick Donovan
