"The Right Time" was the Hoodoo Gurus' opening shot for Crank, their sixth studio album, going out as its lead single in October 1993, and it started life as one piece of something far grander. Its writer, Dave Faulkner, later explained he'd dreamed up a suite of songs, a mini rock opera in the spirit of the Who's A Quick One, in a bid to bring back the '70s concept album; this one was meant as the theme tune for a gang of female motorcycle hellcats. "Hypocrite Blues" and "Gospel Train" are the other survivors of that master plan on Crank.
Ed Stasium produced it, with Paul Hamingson engineering. Faulkner and Brad Shepherd play guitars and share the vocals, Faulkner adds keyboards, Rick Grossman plays bass and Mark Kingsmill drums. It topped out at 41 on the ARIA singles chart.
