Our Take

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band's "Hot City - The 1974 Unreleased Album" is a hidden gem that has finally been unearthed for our listening pleasure. This collection of tracks, recorded but never released back in '74, showcases the band at the peak of their creative powers.

From the opening track "Midnight Moses" to the hauntingly beautiful "Sirocco," this album is a rollercoaster of emotions that will have you laughing, crying, and headbanging all in the same breath. The band's signature blend of rock, blues, and theatrics is on full display here, with Alex Harvey's gravelly vocals and larger-than-life persona commanding the listener's attention from start to finish.

Standout tracks include the funky "Amos Moses," the epic "Gamblin' Bar Room Blues," and the infectious "I Just Want to Make Love to You." Each song is a masterclass in storytelling, with Harvey's lyrics painting vivid pictures of love, loss, and everything in between.

Overall, "Hot City - The 1974 Unreleased Album" is a must-listen for any fan of classic rock and roll. It's a shame these songs were kept in the vault for so long, but now that they're out in the world, we can't imagine our lives without them. Do yourself a favour and give this album a spin - you won't be disappointed.
