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\u00a0<em>HIXTAPE\u00a0<\/em>series with. After a step away, he felt refreshed.<\/p>\n<p>He dove back into country and\u00a0<em>COUNTRY! COUNTRY!\u00a0<\/em>is the result. The album takes its name literally, ranging from celebrations of his youth in the Mississippi mud\u2014 \u201cBottomland\u201d being named for a specific camo pattern HARDY favors for hunting\u2014to commentary on the state of country music at large.
