Drag recorded and toured for the album while lead singer and guitarist Darren Middleton was on a break from his other band Powderfinger. BackgroundAs Middleton was allowed time to devote to his own side project Drag, he and McElligott decided to fill out Drag to a full band lineup. initially enlisting Brisbane keyboardist Matt Murphy and fellow Powderfinger member John Collins on bass, Drag began performing around Brisbane and its surrounding areas. Middleton had intended recording some of the Drag songs in the hiatus time, but when the opportunity was offered by Paul Piticco, Powderfinger's manager and founder of Dew Process to record on Dew Process, Middleton accepted. Drag then recorded The Way Out in early 2005 at a recording studio in the Northern New South Wales beachside town Byron Bay. The band enlisted David Nicholas as the album's producer, known for his work with Elton John. Songs and singlesThere were two singles released from The Way Out. "You and I" was released just prior to the album to radio and as a CD single. The song is a rock-electronic song with influences of new-wave music. The second single released was "Lady Luck" which was released in October 2005. According to the band, "Lady Luck" is the band's attempt at writing a Beatles styled song. Track listing
Personnel
ReceptionZombos Reviews gave the album a B-, saying that "All up, it's certainly not earth-shattering, but they don't embarrass themselves with anything hideously bad either. This one gets awarded a middling-to-high 10 for being "pleasant, but doesn't have any songs or melodies that are flatout brilliant." [3] The reviewer did say that The Frustrated Writer was his favourite song on the album.
