Into
the vault
From
1974, the voice of The Easybeats, Stevie Wright, and his debut solo
album, Hard Road. We heard:
-
Let Your Hair Down
-
Evie
-
I'm Losing You
By
1974 their band the Easybeats had been retired and Harry Vanda and
George Young were focused on writing and producing for the Alberts
studio in Sydney. They brought their Easybeats singer Stevie Wright
into the studio and helped him make his first solo album, titled Hard
Road. Stevie wrote most of the songs but Vanda and Young wrote the
album's centerpiece, a three-part song titled Evie. In its 11-minute
entirety the song charted at No. 1 in Australia. George Young's
brother Malcolm took time off from playing in his own band, AC/DC, to
play guitar on the album.
The
Sheik of Scrubby Creek - Chad Morgan, it came out as a single in
1952.
So
This Is Love - Cash Savage and The Last Drinks, it's the title track
of an album they put out in 2024. Cash Savage's uncle was the late
Conway Savage, best known for his work with Nick Cave.
