Rose Tattoo have released their version of Stevie Wright’s ‘Hard Road’ along with a video.
The line-up for the song and the upcoming tour is:
Kingy Bass
Angry voice
Pauld DeMarco Drums
Ronnie Simmons Guitar
Mick Arnold Guitar.
The video is a welcome to the band Ronnie with Simmons seen hitchhiking and picked up by the band. Ronnie joined Rose Tattoo in 2022. He is also a member of Richie Ramone’s touring band as well as his own band, Ronnie Simmons and the Redback Spiders.
Stevie’s original version dates back 50 years to 1974. The song was written by Harry Vanda and George Young. Vanda and Young played on Stevie version making it somewhat of an Easybeats reunion with three of the five members present. AC/DC’s Malcolm Young plays on Stevie’s version.
Rod Stewart also covered the song on his ‘Smiler’ album.
Rose Tattoo will tour Australia with ZZ Top and George Thorogood & The Destroyers for Red Hot Summer in April. They also have more Australian dates with their own Hard Road tour in April and May.
