Off the back of the release of his highly anticipated new album Country! Country! on Friday, Hardy unveils its deluxe edition, Country! Country! Country! The deluxe LP offers the 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, featured across their channels and billboards in Times Square.
The new album marks the Mississippi native’s return to his roots, written in the wake of his much-lauded rock album Quit!!, released last year. 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.
