Dirty Honey has released their rendition of the Bad Company classic, ‘Rock Steady’ (written by Paul Rodgers) from the forthcoming tribute album, Can’t Get Enough: A Tribute to Bad Company, to be released on 24th October 24 on Primary Wave Music.
“Bad Company are plain and simply one of the cornerstones of rock and roll,” said Marc LaBelle, lead vocalist of Dirty Honey. “Their music has been part of the soundtrack of my life for as long as I can remember. Paul Rodgers voice is timeless, classic, and like a fine wine only got better with age.”
You can stream and download ‘Rock Steady’ here.
Can’t Get Enough: A Tribute to Bad Company is the first-ever band-sanctioned tribute album. It celebrates the British band’s 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction and the 50th Anniversary of its founder members, rock icons Paul Rogers, Mick Ralph, Boz Burrell and Simon Kirke – Ralph, writer of hit single ‘Can’t Get Enough’ among others (and also a founding member of Mott The Hoople) passing away in June this year, and former King Crimson bass player Burrell passing in September, 2006, the remaining founding members, previously having founded Free.
This one-of-a-kind release unites legendary and contemporary artists from rock, country, and Americana – Genres deeply influenced by Bad Company’s music. Each artist offers a fresh interpretation of the band’s iconic songs. Founding members Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke also appear on the album, bringing this tribute full circle. Available as limited-edition silver coloured vinyl, on all digital formats and as a special merchandise bundle, the CD version is packaged in a standard jewel case with 2 page (4 panel) booklet album liner notes written by radio and television personality Eddie Trunk.
Tracks featured are ‘Ready For Love’ by Hardy, ‘Shooting Star’ by Halestorm featuring Paul Rodgers, ‘Feel Like Makin’ Love’ by Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators, Run With The Pack’ by Blackberry Smoke featuring Paul Rodgers & Brann Dailor ‘, ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy’ by The Struts, ‘Bad Company’ by Charley Crockett, ‘Rock Steady’ by Dirty Honey, ‘Burnin’ Sky’ by Black Stone Cherry, ‘Seagull’ by Joe Elliott and Phil Collen of Def Leppard featuring Paul Rodgers & Simon Kirke, and ‘All Right Now’ by The Pretty Reckless.
The inclusion of ‘All Right Now’ may appear a little curious since it was originally a hit single for Free, but Bad Company has performed the track live. And it should be noted ‘Ready For Love’ first appeared on Mott the Hoople’s All The Young Dudes album.
