Rabbitt – “Hard Ride”It looks like you are tailoring the details for your scheduled upload of Rabbitt – Hard ride (Video Link).If you want to inject some authentic 1970s South African rock history into your video description, here is some great background trivia about this high-octane track that your viewers will appreciate:🎸 Behind the TrackThe Album: “Hard Ride” is a standout track from Rabbitt’s legendary 1975 debut album, Boys Will Be Boys!, recorded at RPM Studios in Johannesburg. The album rapidly achieved gold status faster than any other South African record up to that point.The Lineup Power: While the song was written by the band’s prodigy Trevor Rabin (who famously went on to join the progressive rock giant Yes and become a massive Hollywood film score composer), the lead vocals on “Hard Ride” were actually sung by keyboardist Duncan Faure (who later fronted the Bay City Rollers).A Family Affair: The song features a brilliant, unexpected violin solo played by none other than Godfrey Rabin—Trevor Rabin’s father, who was a highly respected classical violinist and leader of the Johannesburg Symphony Orchestra.The Sonic Style: “Hard Ride” perfectly bridges the gap between commercial pop-rock and ambitious progressive rock. Driven by Trevor Rabin’s fierce guitar mastery, the song thunders forward like a musical juggernaut, accented by dramatic orchestral arrangements that were way ahead of their time for the local scene.
