    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".

    Hard Road

    by: Kasey Chambers

    There's a fire on the mountain
    There's a fire in my soul
    There's a sign on the highway
    It's a hard road
    There's a break in a heart
    There's a break in a bone
    There's a ghost in the dark
    It's a hard road
    There's blood in the kitchen
    In the shape of a sin
    There's a ship in the water
    But it ain't coming in
    There's a fall of an angel
    At the end of the show
    But who's gonna save my soul
    It's a hard road
    There's a heavy jacket
    There's a heavy load
    There's a weight on my shoulders
    It's a hard road
    There's a howl at the backdoor
    There's a howl in the cold
    There's a broken bottle
    It's a hard road
    There's blood in the kitchen
    In the shape of a sin
    There's a ship in the water
    But it ain't coming in
    There's a fall of an angel
    At the end of the show
    But who's gonna save my soul
    It's a hard road
    There's a strange feeling coming over me
    Hollow eyes misery
    There's someone at the backdoor
    There's someone in the cold
    God save my soul
