DEBUTS NEW SONG “GOOD OLE BOY,” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERES VIA CMT
FOLLOWS FRIDAY’S LONG-AWAITED COUNTRY! COUNTRY!
“HARDY once again proves why he’s one of country music’s most talented tunesmiths on [‘Dog Years’].”––Billboard
“He’s the Woodstock ’99 of country hitmakers, someone who screams as many choruses as he sings, someone who is as likely to collaborate with Fred Durst as Lainey Wilson, someone Nickelback and boygenius agree on.”––Rolling Stone
NASHVILLE, TENN. – Off the back of the release of his highly anticipated new album COUNTRY! COUNTRY! on Friday, HARDY unveils its deluxe edition, COUNTRY! COUNTRY! COUNTRY!, today. The deluxe LP offers brand-new song “Good Ole Boy” as well as stripped-back, acoustic versions of tracks “Dog Years,” “Country In Me” and “Take the Country and Run.” The official music video for “Good Ole Boy” premieres via CMT today, featured across their channels and billboards in Times Square—watch it here. Get COUNTRY! COUNTRY! COUNTRY!here.
COUNTRY! COUNTRY! and its singles “Dog Years,” “Bottomland”—watch the music video here—and “Bro Country” have received enthusiastic early acclaim from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Forbes, Holler, Entertainment Tonight and more.
The new album marks HARDY’s return to his roots, written in the wake of his much-lauded rock album Quit!!, released last year to widespread critical acclaim. While he loved the thrash of jumping headfirst into the rock world, he missed his community: the peers he wrote No. 1 country radio hits and put together the HIXTAPE series with. After a step away, he felt refreshed.
COUNTRY! COUNTRY! takes its name literally, ranging from celebrations of his youth in the Mississippi mud—“Bottomland” being named for a specific camo pattern HARDY favors for hunting—to commentary on the state of country music at large. In sum, it’s a celebration of what makes HARDY HARDY.
HARDY’s first-ever headline date at Madison Square Garden momentously drew the months-long JIM BOB World Tour to a close. This run has seen him headline festivals and his own shows coast to coast with support from Koe Wetzel, Stephen Wilson Jr., McCoy Moore and inaugural CROW RECORDS signee Sikarus.
He’ll play festivals through the end of the year as well as a very special show, Country vs. Cancer, presented by the American Cancer Society, HARDY’s recently launched charity endeavor The HARDY Fund and Whiskey Jam—to benefit the ACS. HARDY will headline alongside Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, Lanie Gardner and McCoy Moore at The Pinnacle in Nashville. More information here.
The pride of Philadelphia, Mississippi has earned his reputation as “a promising purveyor of keeping the spirit of classic heavy Southern rock alive” (American Songwriter), “capable of writing the big hits for radio, obstinate enough to do something completely unexpected, and savvy enough to find the throughline for it all” (Rolling Stone). A five-time ACM award winner and two-time CMA award winner, HARDY has also won three CMA Triple Play awards, was named the 2022 BMI Country Songwriter of the Year and is a three-time AIMP Songwriter of the Year. He’s collaborated and shared stages with Thomas Rhett, Morgan Wallen, Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Cole Swindell and more.
