Legendary rock band Rose Tattoo are hitting the road and the airwaves with their highly anticipated Hard Road Australian Tour and the release of their first new music since the 2008 album. ‘Blood Brothers’. The new single, ‘Hard Road’ slated for release on February 27, brings a hard edged, Tatts driven take on a classic. Originally featured on Stevie Wright’s debut solo album in 1974, ‘Hard Road’, a Vanda, Young, Wright tune was released under the renowned Albert Productions. Rose Tattoo breathes new life into this track, celebrating its enduring legacy and impact on the fans and music history.
“Brothers and Sisters, I’m writing to officially announce our recent single-track recording release, it’s no secret that I’m a big Stevie Wright, Easy Beats, fan, the Rosie Tatts have previously covered and released Black Eyed Bruiser, a Stevie Wright song and so it will come as no surprise that we now release another Stevie toon ‘Hard Road’ which will be included on our next album release later this year.
First I was a fan, then became a friend and was honoured to become a confidant of Stevie, we shared much together; he was chuffed that we covered Bruiser and that we did our own version, luckily I was able to tell him, before we lost him, that we would cover ‘Hard Road’, he was chuffed about that as well, so there you have it, Hard Road is a song for our time, it helps signal our feelings, as a band, as we grow ever closer to the end of the road for our beloved Rose Tattoo, the end is in sight, it’s been worth every highlight and heartbreak of our long Hard Road.” I am, with much love, your loyal brother Angry.
