Field's second album, "Try Biology", appeared in 1982 and provided his third Australian hit single, "True Love", which reached No. 17. The album was also produced by Price. Lisa Perry of "The Canberra Times" caught his performance at Queanbeyan in September of that year, "he still has what it takes to entertain even the hardest of audiences. If you are in any way interested in some good jazz, interspersed with some driving rock and roll, you would have had to agree that is a unique talent." Her newspaper colleague, Karen Milliner, described how the single did not reflect his style, "[it is a commercial number which obviously has succeeded, but it's the only one of its ilk on the album. Apart from two slow songs on side two, the rest of the tracks have that jazz and big-band sound which Field loves — lots of jazz piano, trumpets, trombones and sax... gravel-edged throaty voice is ideally suited to jazz, and there's some great jazz piano and brass arrangements featured."
