What Are You Listening To

Stevie Wright - Hard Road, The Other Side, Dancing In The Limelight, Evie parts 1-3 (subtitled Let Your Hair Hang Down, Evie and I’m Losing You respectively), and Movin’ On Up

From the late English-born Australian singer-songwriter (and ex-frontman of The Easybeats)’s first solo album, “Hard Road” (1974)

Born in Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire (moving to Australia with his family at age nine) in 1947, Stevie Wright, sometimes known as “Little Stevie Wright” in the music business, was considered one of Australia’s first international pop stars. After considerable success with other migrants in the band The Easybeats, his life took a dark turn in the 70s - following a stint starring in a leading role in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar, he developed a serious alcohol and drug addiction (especially heroin). The addiction was so severe, he eventually underwent methadone treatment in 1976, followed by Deep Sleep Therapy (a combination of electroshock and medically-induced coma) under the direction of the highly controversial Australian psychiatrist Harry Bailey.
He emerged from the treatment drug and alcohol-free, but with lasting side effects including some brain damage before eventually passing away in 2015 from pneumonia.
Nevertheless, he continued to lead a successful career, and this album stands as his very best. The aforementioned Evie song suite, his magnum opus, is even considered among the greatest Australian songs of all time. With good reason, I must add - The suite and album is pouring with raw emotion and excellent vocals! By extension, it is one of rock’s greatest underrated anthems
