Speaker 2: Hardy is picking up a massive following for his groundbreaking
0:06
Speaker 2: and fusion of country and modern rock, which is some
0:08
Speaker 2: debating which genre he should fall under, and others simply
0:11
Speaker 2: or enjoying the music. Either way, He's been given a
0:13
Speaker 2: ton of credit for forging new territory with that blend
0:16
Speaker 2: of styles, which happened by accident. It all started organically
0:19
Speaker 2: when he wrote Boots for his debut album, which simply
0:22
Speaker 2: ended up being heavier, and he noticed fans loved it
0:24
Speaker 2: at live shows. That gave the confidence to explore rock
0:28
Speaker 2: further on his latest album, The mocking Bird and the Crow.
0:30
Speaker 2: Hardytail's songwriter universe. Over the past couple of years, I've
0:33
Speaker 2: had about ten songs on hold for my album. I
0:35
Speaker 2: looked down and noticed that I've had five country songs
0:38
Speaker 2: and five rock songs. I realized that I was doing
0:40
Speaker 2: it by accident. From there on out, I wrote the
0:42
Speaker 2: rest of the record with more of an intention half
0:45
Speaker 2: country and half rock. So the last six songs were
0:47
Speaker 2: written with that intention, and the very last song I
0:50
Speaker 2: wrote for the record was the title The mocking Bird
0:52
Speaker 2: and the Crow. The Mocky Burn the Crow is out now.
0:56
Speaker 1: That's direct from Hollywood.
