Ian Hunter has recruited a who’s who of influential rockers to back him on his upcoming album, Defiance Part 1. The featured artists include the late Jeff Beck, Ringo Starr, the late Taylor Hawkins, and members of Metallica, Guns n’ Roses, ZZ Top, Wilco, Stone Temple Pilots, and Aerosmith, among many others.
“Bed of Roses,” the first single from the album — which is due April 21 — features Ringo Starr on drums. A fantasy about seeing the greatest concert Hunter’s ever witnessed, the track features a driving rhythm and Campbell’s bluesy guitar licks as Hunter sings, “The band played all night long, song after song after song after song, in the bed of roses.”

Ian Hunter said: It’s been a week since I released “Bed of Roses” featuring the great Ringo Starr and Mike Campbell! The song is based around the Star Club Hamburg back in the 60s. It was a buzz to record this song with Ringo and Mike. I hope you enjoy it.
