Title:
Hard Road
Description:
Hard Road is the debut solo album from Australian singer Stevie Wright. The album’s first single ”Evie (Part 1)” was hugely successful and the title track was later covered on Rod Stewart’s 1974 album Smiler.
In 1973, Harry Vanda and George Young returned to Australia after a period working in London paying off debts incurred while working as the Easybeats. They renewed their partnership with Albert Productions and as in-house producers began assembling a roster of artists for the label, among them their former Easybeats bandmate Stevie Wright.
Work soon commenced on an album with Wright, with Vanda and Young assembling a backing group that included themselves, pianist Warren Morgan of The Aztecs, and Malcolm Young, George’s younger brother and the rhythm guitarist for AC/DC, on guitar. Wright wrote six songs for the album, while Vanda and Young wrote the remainder, including the title track and the three part ”Evie”.
