	The Last of the Teenage Idols
		lex Harvey was born February 5, 1935, in Glasgow, growing up in the hardscrabble projects of that industrial Scottish city.After leaving school at 15, as the story goes, he tackled as many as 36 different professions, including lion tamer, before turning to music.
		After returning to Britain, Harvey retained his modestly successful position in the burgeoning rock and blues club scene, although failing to gain the bigger breaks of such contemporaries as the Yardbirds or the Bluesbreakers.
		Harvey's folkie career was shortlived, however, as evidenced by his next single release -- a rollicking cover of Edwin Starr's "Agent Double-O Soul".

	'The Sensational Alex Harvey' by John Neil Munro reviewed on official website of Laura Hird
		That guy is Alex Harvey, and this, his first biography (I’m pretty sure) goes some way to explaining why that affection remains.
		A great live band, with Harvey a born entertainer and brilliant interpreter of other artist’s songs (listen to ‘Next’, and his ‘Delilah’ pisses all over that Welsh muppet’s) they never hit big in the record sales.
		Alright, the author claims Harvey as a punk, but every biography author whose subject is pre-76 does the same, so we’ll forgive him.

		Alex Harvey’s earliest childhood memories hold the seeds to his lifelong career as a performer and songwriter.
		Harvey remembers: “I was in the first grade, and a little girl named Christy sat behind me. She was beautiful, a town girl – and I was just a country kid.
		Through much hard work and determination, Harvey wrote 200 songs before Wheeler said he had something to work with, which led to Harvey’s first hits: “Dissatisfied Man” and “Rueben James.” He has never strayed from two important pieces of advice from Wheeler: never write songs without hope, or songs that make a woman look bad.

	Alex Harvey : The Blues - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		For his second album, Harvey eschewed the full R&B combo sound of his debut for a solo set of traditional blues, accompanied only by a couple of guitars.
		No one would mistake this for a hard-bitten set by a wizened Delta bluesman, but Harvey doesn't make an attempt to disguise the fact that he's a hard-living, life-loving Scotsman plunging full-tilt into the music he loves.
		Harvey attacks standards with a gusto that is wrenching and jolly (sometimes both at once) on this set of fairly raw performances.

		A fine representation of Alex Harvey’s early years, with a few real gems in there.

		The Sensational Alex Harvey Band were famous for their theatrics and where American counterpart Alice Cooper was Vincent Furnier’s fun filled character on stage, Alex Harvey was the player.
		This time it’s the Alex playing himself, he’ll tell you that, but he’s still acting, like a howling wolf he insists “I was Framed” and you gotta believe him, he’s standing in the docks with his hand on the bible.

		Recorded, again, appropriately, as the Age of Aquarius was in full transition to the age of the Spiders From Mars and, later, the me decade, The Impossible Dream manages to capture that cultural DMZ in an operatic blast of pub rock-based pomp without circumstance.
		Harvey is the bacchanalian ringleader, marshalling the Sensational Alex Harvey Band's considerable, flexible resources to the task at hand and providing a damn good listen in the process.
		This is one of those overlooked records, and Harvey was one of those artists, that could easily have reached less than an arm's length and touched T. Rex, Queen, the New York Dolls, AC/DC, or Sweet, and, by extension, Mötley Crüe, Poison, and Guns 'n' Roses.

	Alex Harvey : Roman Wall Blues - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		But there are some genuinely enjoyable tracks here and there, like the goofy minstrel folk-rock of "Broken Hearted Fairytale," the desultory lament "Maxine," and the uncommonly grim title track, where Harvey plays the part of an actual Roman soldier on patrol.
		And Harvey's vocals are never less than exuberant, in the manner of that hyperactive kid who's barely toned down even after reaching adulthood, particularly on the '50s rock & roll-style "Donna." Covering the Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash" was an utterly superfluous endeavor, however.
		It's among the rarest of Harvey's albums, and as a little-heard link in his evolution it deserves reissue, in spite of its inconsistency.
