Armored Saint - 'One Chain (Don't Make No Prison)' (video)

Το τραγούδι "One Chain (Don't Make No Prison)" το συνέθεσαν ο Dennis Lambertκαι ο Brian Potter. Το πρωτογνωρίσαμε μέσα από το single των People που κυκλοφόρησε το 1970 (με το μουσικό κομμάτι "Keep It Alive" στην δεύτερη πλευρά του βινυλίου).

Το βρίσκουμε επίσης σε δίσκους των Four Tops ("Meeting of the Minds" 1974), του Carlos Santana ("Inner Secrets" 1978) και των Doobie Brothers ("Cycles" 1989). Πλέον μαζί με αυτές τις απόπειρες μπορούμε να προσθέσουμε και εκείνη των Armored Saint, με τον John Bush να μας λέει σχετικά:

«[Bassist] Joey [Vera] came up with the idea of doing the song. We’ve always been huge fans of old school soul and R&B music so it was a no brainer. It’s got a great groove, perfect for our rhythm section, and Jeff [Duncan]’s and Phil [Sandoval]’s guitars are screaming.

Plus, the cool lyrics make it ideal for the ‘SAINT style. Levi Stubbs [The Four Tops] was such a rad singer; I just tried to do him justice. I think this would make him a metal fan!»
