HARDY - COUNTRY! COUNTRY! - LP [ Record ]

The next round is in the chamber for Big Loud Records heavy hitter HARDY with his fourth studio album COUNTRY! COUNTRY!

The new album was written in the wake of HARDY's much-lauded rock album Quit!!, released in 2024 to widespread critical acclaim. While he loved the thrash of jumping headfirst into the rock world, he missed his community — the peers he wrote #1 country radio hits and put together the HIXTAPE series with. After a step away, he felt refreshed. So, he dove back into country and COUNTRY! COUNTRY! is the result. The album takes its name literally, ranging from celebrations of his youth in the Mississippi mud to commentary on the state of country music at large. In sum, it's a celebration of what makes HARDY HARDY.

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.
