RFK Media releases Ron Keel Band’s “HARD ON THE OUTSIDE (HEART ON THE INSIDE)” as the next single from the forthcoming album “KEELWORLD”
“Hard On The Outside (Heart On The Inside)” sings a message from the heart that everyone should be able to relate to,” claims Ron Keel. “In the tradition of the best songs of my career like ‘The Right To Rock,’ ‘Wild Forever,’ ‘When This Is Over’ and ‘The Last Bottle On Earth,’ I’m not just singing something – I’m saying something.”
This guitar-driven anthem enters the digital realm as the first full-blown full-band electric track from the forthcoming album “KEELWORLD,” available on all streaming/digital platforms with an accompanying lyric video that emphasizes the inspiration behind the song. Keel’s band – guitarists Dave Cothern and Jason Haven, drummer Jeff Koller “The Rev,” bassist Geno Arce and co-producer Mike Dresch provide a powerful foundation for Ron’s heartfelt lyrics and melodies about balancing our exterior toughness with our inner vulnerabilities.
While the album features new songs from Steeler, Keel, IronHorse, Ron Keel and more, Ron Keel Band carries the load on multiple tracks as Keel’s musical vehicle for the past decade. “Hard On The Outside (Heart On The Inside)” is the first new RKB release since the 2022 top ten hit “When This Is Over.” The “KEELWORLD” album, slated for a Summer 2024 release, will be available on vinyl, CD, and all digital formats, and the 2024/2025 tour includes many highlights such as Ron’s final Las Vegas and Hollywood shows April 5th and 6th, plus his first and final foray to Colombia and Brazil.
“We’re all flesh and blood – some bad, some good – we’re all misunderstood. We’re all hard on the outside…we’ve all got a heart on the inside.”
