“Calling All Nations” by INXS

"Calling All Nations" comes from Kick, the sixth INXS album, released in 1987, and Andrew Farriss and Michael Hutchence wrote it together. Hutchence sings lead and the whole band is on board: Andrew Farriss on keyboards and guitar, Tim Farriss and Kirk Pengilly on guitars, Pengilly doubling on saxophone, Garry Gary Beers on bass and Jon Farriss on drums.

It came through the same hands as the rest of the record. Chris Thomas produced it, David Nicholas engineered and Bob Clearmountain mixed, the team that made Kick in Sydney and Paris and finished it at AIR Studios in London, and with a sax in the mix and a title like a rallying cry, it struts like a band that knew exactly where it was headed.
