In his recently released full length album, Both Sides Now, Adam Harvey has teamed up with some of Australia’s most loved stars to create an inspiring album featuring much loved classic and contemporary tracks. Guy Sebastian, David Campbell, Kasey Chambers, Shannon Noll, Beccy Cole and many more friends have come along to create a stunning album that will have you tapping your feet in no time at all.
Both Sides Now is a release that will no doubt surprise a lot of Aussies who know Adam simply as a country artist, albeit a damn fine one at that having pocketed 7 Golden Guitar Awards and numerous Country Music Industry accolades over a career that has seen him surpass well over 100 000 album sales in this country. Both Sides Now, while definitely claiming some country-tinged well known classics, steps out of that arena and crosses over into the more mainstream.
Case in point is the first single, Stuck In The Middle With You featuring Guy Sebastian. Belonging to the same record label and knowing each other through the close knit music industry, Adam had no trouble inviting his friend into the studio to lay down the much loved 70’s track which has been getting people talking. In fact, Adam had no problem getting any of his musical friends involved in the recording: “It was about me getting on the phone and asking a bunch of people I know if they’ll have a sing with me,” he simply explained. “It’s been a very natural thing, people coming into the studio and having a laugh, which is how it should be.”
This highly anticipated album is Adam’s 6th full length release and has already caused a buzz on TV and radio.
When a job is this much fun it doesn’t feel like work at all – so make sure you catch Adam on the road doing what he loves and does best.
