Various - Easy Fever A Tribute To The Easybeats And Stevie Wright

Review by Doru Ilasi

Easy Fever: A Tribute to the Easybeats and Stevie Wright is a stunning collection of covers that pays homage to the iconic Australian rock band and its lead singer. Featuring a diverse range of artists, the album captures the spirit and energy of the Easybeats' music while also showcasing the individual styles of each performer.

From the opening track, the infectious "Good Times" by Jimmy Barnes and Mahalia Barnes, to the soulful rendition of "Black Eyed Bruiser" by Diesel, the album is a non-stop party of rock and roll anthems. Other standout tracks include Kate Ceberano's sultry take on "Women (Make You Feel Alright)", Tex Perkins' gritty rendition of "St. Louis", and the haunting acoustic version of "Wedding Ring" by Phil Jamieson.

The album also features a touching tribute to Stevie Wright, the Easybeats' frontman who passed away in 2015, with a stripped-down version of his classic hit "Evie (Parts 1, 2 & 3)" by The Church's Steve Kilbey.
