About this album

First Under The Wire is one of Little River Band’s strongest statements, sharpening the group’s smooth country-rock sound into polished, radio-ready songwriting. Released in 1979, the album helped extend the Australian band’s international momentum, with Lonesome Loser becoming one of their best-known singles and Cool Change reinforcing their gift for melodic, harmony-rich AOR. The record balances tight musicianship with a clean, commercial sheen, showing why Little River Band became such a reliable chart presence in the late 1970s. It stands as a prime example of the band’s blend of soft rock warmth, country inflection and careful studio craft.
