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