Southern Rockers Unleash Fiery Rendition Today, Ahead of October 24, 2025 Release
Dirty Honey, the Los Angeles-based blues rock revivalists, have released their take on Bad Company’s classic “Rock Steady” (written by Paul Rodgers) today, September 12, 2025, as the latest preview of the star-studded tribute album Can’t Get Enough: A Tribute to Bad Company, out October 24, 2025, via Primary Wave Music. This southern rock powerhouse, featuring Marc LaBelle’s gritty vocals and John Notto’s inventive riffs, infuses the track with their signature grooves, making it a standout on the first-ever tribute to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees. As Rock & Blues Muse notes, it’s a “tight, inventive cover” that honors the original while adding fresh fire. Stream or download “Rock Steady” now and watch the music video HERE.
Rock Steady: Dirty Honey’s Tribute to Bad Company
“Rock Steady”, from Bad Company’s 1974 self-titled debut (five times platinum), gets a soulful reboot from Dirty Honey. LaBelle shares, “Bad Company are one of the cornerstones of rock and roll… Paul Rodgers’ voice is timeless.” Produced by Nick DiDia, the track captures Rodgers’ raw emotion with Dirty Honey’s modern edge—Notto’s solos soar, Justin Smolian’s bass thumps, and Jaydon Bean’s drums drive the rhythm. The music video, directed by Linda Eklov, blends live footage with Bad Company nods, racking up views already. As Blues Rock Review raves, it’s a “spin on the classic” that fits seamlessly into the tribute’s lineup.
