Hardy Adds Deluxe Edition to Country Album, Expanding Reach
Country artist Hardy has returned with even more music to excite his fans. Shortly after releasing his highly anticipated album “Country! Country!” Hardy dropped a deluxe edition titled “Country! Country! Country!” This new edition includes a fresh track called “Good Ole Boy” and acoustic versions of some fan favorites.
Accompanying the expanded edition is the release of the music video for “Good Ole Boy.”
While Hardy has never been one to shy away from exploring new sounds, with his previous album “Quit!!” leaning towards rock, “Country! Country!” sees him returning to his country roots. The album is a homage to nostalgia, authenticity, and the music that has influenced him throughout his life in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
From the storytelling in “Bottomland,” inspired by his favorite camo pattern to the cultural reflection in “Bro Country,” each track on the album showcases Hardy’s world. Described by Rolling Stone as the “Woodstock ’99 of country hitmakers,” Hardy effortlessly switches between energetic choruses and crafting radio-friendly hits.
Hardy’s track record speaks for itself with numerous accolades under his belt such as five ACM Awards, two CMA Awards, three CMA Triple Play Awards, and the prestigious title of 2022 BMI Country Songwriter of the Year. His songwriting prowess is evident in the success of hits for artists like Thomas Rhett, Morgan Wallen, Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, and Cole Swindell, solidifying his status as a sought-after songwriter.
However, Hardy’s talent goes beyond just the awards and credits. He is known for his rebellious spirit in the genre, straddling the line between country tradition and rock influences with ease. “Country! Country! Country!” serves as a testament to his ability to blend both worlds seamlessly, showcasing his unique sound and style.
Fans can catch Hardy live at various festivals throughout the remainder of 2025, with a highlight being his performance at Country vs. Cancer in Nashville on 2 December. The charity event, presented in collaboration with the American Cancer Society, The Hardy Fund, and Whiskey Jam, will feature a star-studded lineup including Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, Lanie Gardner, McCoy Moore, and more.
The tracklist for “Country! Country! Country!” includes a mix of tracks that showcase the depth and range of Hardy’s musicality, from the upbeat “Country Country” to the reflective “Dog Years.”
With upcoming shows lined up, fans have the opportunity to experience Hardy’s electrifying performances live and witness his undeniable talent firsthand. Hardy’s ability to push boundaries within the country music scene sets him apart as a true trailblazer in the industry.
