WEBVTT - DFH- Hardy Blowing Up

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:06.199
<v Speaker 2>Hardy is picking up a massive following for his groundbreaking

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:08.840
<v Speaker 2>and fusion of country and modern rock, which is some

0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:11.520
<v Speaker 2>debating which genre he should fall under, and others simply

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 2>or enjoying the music. Either way, He's been given a

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 2>ton of credit for forging new territory with that blend

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 2>of styles, which happened by accident. It all started organically

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:22.079
<v Speaker 2>when he wrote Boots for his debut album, which simply

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:24.920
<v Speaker 2>ended up being heavier, and he noticed fans loved it

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 2>at live shows. That gave the confidence to explore rock

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 2>further on his latest album, The mocking Bird and the Crow.

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Hardytail's songwriter universe. Over the past couple of years, I've

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 2>had about ten songs on hold for my album. I

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 2>looked down and noticed that I've had five country songs

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 2>and five rock songs. I realized that I was doing

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:42.519
<v Speaker 2>it by accident. From there on out, I wrote the

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 2>rest of the record with more of an intention half

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 2>country and half rock. So the last six songs were

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 2>written with that intention, and the very last song I

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:52.919
<v Speaker 2>wrote for the record was the title The mocking Bird

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 2>and the Crow. The Mocky Burn the Crow is out now.

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>That's direct from Hollywood.
