Love Hungry Man

The song Love Hungry Man is a piece that encapsulates the raw and direct energy of AC/DC. It was composed by Angus Young, Bon Scott, and Malcolm Young, and its duration is 4 minutes and 17 seconds. This song is part of the album Highway to Hell, released on July 27, 1979, by Albert Productions and Atlantic Records. This record marked the beginning of the collaboration with producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange, who would also work on two other albums by the band. Sadly, Highway to Hell is also the last work recorded with Bon Scott as lead vocalist, who would pass away on February 19, 1980.

By 1978, AC/DC had already released five albums internationally and had toured Australia and Europe on extensive tours. Upon arriving in the United States in 1977, and despite having scarce radio support, the band began to build a fanbase through their live performances. Their live album, If You Want Blood, had reached number 13 in the United Kingdom. Previous works, Let There Be Rock (1977) and Powerage (1978), already showed the band defining their characteristic blues-based hard rock sound. The recording of Love Hungry Man featured engineering by Kevin Dallimore and mixing by Tony Platt, under the production of Robert John “Mutt” Lange. The band was formed in Sydney, Australia, in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, who came from Scotland. Their first performance was on New Year's Eve 1973.
