Torchbearers of southern rock Blackberry Smoke have released their spirited rendition of the Bad Company classic, “Run with the Pack,” which is available everywhere out now. This track is the latest preview from the forthcoming all star tribute album, ‘Can’t Get Enough: A Tribute to Bad Company’, out now via Primary Wave Music. Bad Company co founder and vocalist Paul Rodgers contributes background vocals on the track, while Brann Dailor of Mastodon plays percussion and also provides background vocals. Both legendary artists are featured in the official live studio session video that accompanies the single.
Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke praised the original, saying, “Bad Company has always been one of those bands that just hits you in the chest – raw, soulful and real. ‘Run with the Pack’ is like a masterclass in groove and grit. There’s simplicity to it that’s so powerful – no frills, just feel.” Paul Rodgers reciprocated the excitement, saying, “Blackberry Smoke absolutely channeled the essence of the song and everyone delivered from their souls. I love every aspect of their performance, harmonies, guitars and delivery!” The star studded tribute album will feature legendary and contemporary artists from rock, country, and Americana, including Hardy, The Pretty Reckless, Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott and Phil Collen, and Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators.
