Review

HARDY's second studio album, "the mockingbird & THE CROW," is an explosive mix of country twang and rock grit released on January 20, 2023, through Big Loud Records. This album proudly displays its seventeen tracks like a badge of honor, each co-written and co-produced by HARDY alongside Joey Moi and Derek Wells. It's not just a collection of songs; it’s a bold statement in the increasingly popular genre-blending movement within today’s music scene.

The lead single, "Wait in the Truck," featuring Lainey Wilson, packs a punch with its emotive storytelling and dynamic vocal contrast. Despite receiving a mixed bag of reviews, the track stands out for its originality and the strong collaboration between the artists. Throughout the album, songs like the reflective "Beer" and the anthemic title track, "the mockingbird & THE CROW," demonstrate HARDY’s versatility and deep personal connection to his music. These tracks delve into themes of self-discovery and artistic integrity, resonating with anyone who appreciates when artists color outside the lines. For those who thrive on the cutting edge of music's evolution or anyone drawn to the magnetic pull of HARDY’s raw vocal power and storytelling prowess, "the mockingbird & THE CROW" is an essential listen. - Courtney
