HARDY’s new album COUNTRY! COUNTRY! is a return to his roots. The album and tour take their name literally with songs 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.

The new collection of songs written by “one of country music’s most talented tunesmiths” (Billboard) includes deluxe-release “Good Ole Boy,” solo penned fan-favorite “Dog Years,” collaborations with ERNEST (“Bro Country”) and Stephen Wilson Jr. (“Bedrooms In The Sky”), and surging radio single “Favorite Country Song” – performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

Wrapping his coast-to-coast rocking JIM BOB World Tour last month, HARDY will round out the year with Country vs. Cancer, a special show benefiting the American Cancer Society – headlining alongside Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, Lanie Gardner and McCoy Moore at the Pinnacle in Nashville. The charitable show is presented by ACS, his recently launched charity endeavor The HARDY Fund and Whiskey Jam. More information here.

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 and more.

FOLLOWS FRIDAY’S LONG-AWAITED COUNTRY! COUNTRY!

“He’s the Woodstock ’99 of country hitmakers, someone who screams as many choruses as he sings, someone who is as likely to collaborate with Fred Durst as Lainey Wilson, someone Nickelback and boygenius agree on.”––Rolling Stone

“HARDY once again proves why he’s one of country music’s most talented tunesmiths on [‘Dog Years’].”—Billboard

September 29, 2025—Off the back of the release of his highly anticipated new album COUNTRY! COUNTRY! on Friday, HARDY unveils its deluxe edition, COUNTRY! COUNTRY! COUNTRY!, today. The deluxe LP offers brand-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 today, featured across their channels and billboards in Times Square—watch it here. Get COUNTRY! COUNTRY! COUNTRY! here.

COUNTRY! COUNTRY! and its singles “Dog Years,” “Bottomland”—watch the music video here—and “Bro Country” have received enthusiastic early acclaim from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Forbes, Holler, Entertainment Tonight and more. 

The new album marks HARDY’s return to his roots, written in the wake of his much-lauded rock album Quit!!, released last year 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. 

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.

“HARDY has evolved past being merely an ‘artist.’ He’s a chart-topping country and hard rock performer who…has achieved a pop-star style ubiquity.” – The Tennessean

NASHVILLE, TENN. – Ahead of his forthcoming new album COUNTRY! COUNTRY!, superstar HARDY shares the long-awaited fan favorite “Dog Years.” Written more than ten years ago before HARDY had signed a publishing deal, the song resurfaced last fall when HARDY performed it at a charity event for Miranda Lambert‘s MuttNation and fans have clamored for its release since.

COUNTRY! COUNTRY! is set for release next Friday, September 26 via Big Loud and is available for pre-save and pre-order digitally and across physical formats now. Get it here. 

“Dog Years” follows the previously released “Bottomland”—watch the music video here—and “Bro Country,” which have garnered enthusiastic early acclaim from Billboard, Forbes, Holler, Entertainment Tonight and more.
