« | »

In 1994, Michael Hutchence recorded 'Red Hill' for a tribute album to Japanese duo Chage & Aska titled 'One Voice: The Songs Of Chage & Aska'.  Michael re-interpreted the lyrics into English. 

The album however wasn't released until 1996 without much promotion outside of Japan, so many Michael Hutchence fans may not be familiar with this track.  The song showcases Michael's singing voice in one of his stand out solo recordings!

Here is very rare footage of Michael recording the song.  This is the only footage of Michael singing 'Red Hill' that exists!

    Wow, what fantastic footage. I will always remember this song playing over my headphones when I sat on the ground watching Uluru/Ayers Rock in Australia in 1998. The tears were rolling down my face as I was feeling so connected to that beautiful piece of land and so sad about Michael's death at the same time. Thx mate for sharing this with us!

    Thank you so much for posting.  This is so beautiful, it's  so pure the way he sings this song, eyes closed and peacefull,   Michael was so heart and soul.  And, so universal… Love  and  Peace, Linda.
