"Rock n Roll Outlaw" comes off Rose Tattoo's self-titled debut, which Albert Productions put out in November 1978, and in some markets the song's name went on the cover in place of the band's: the album was sold there as Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw. Harry Vanda and George Young, the old Easybeats pair who had produced AC/DC, ran the sessions.
It's a band-built number, credited to Angry Anderson, Mick Cocks, Geordie Leach, Dallas Royall and Peter Wells. Wells had got the whole thing going in Sydney in 1976 because he wanted a tough band built around slide guitar, and a title like this one reads like the mission statement.
