Thump'n Pig & Puff'n Billy

By 1972, piano player extraordinaire Warren ‘Pig’ Morgan had performed a key role in the careers of two of Australia’s most legendary blues-rock bands, Chain and Billy Thorpe & the Aztecs. He’d been a founding member of Chain in 1968 and had been instrumental in helping Thorpie establish his reputation as one of the wildest and heaviest blues-rockers of the day. Initially a solo project, it soon became a collaborative effort after Warren asked Billy Thorpe to join in. Christening themselves “Thump’n Pig & Puff’n Billy”, they then enlisted the talents of another Aztec (Gil Matthews) and two members of Chain (Phil Manning and Barry Sullivan) to record the LP they called 'Downunda'.
