The new single, Hard Road, brings a hardedged,
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.
