About this album

Almost Frantic shows Russell Morris turning his late-70s reinvention into sharp, radio-ready rock with The Rubes. Released in 1980, the album follows his successful move away from his earlier pop image and into harder-edged, more direct material that suited Australian rock radio. Songs such as So Tough, Radio Active and Don’t Want To Talk About It underline its tight songwriting and energetic band feel, while the set balances toughness with the melodic instincts that always kept Morris distinctive. For listeners tracing his career beyond his early hit-making years, Almost Frantic is a key statement from his rock-era catalogue.
