Big Loud Records/Tree Vibez Music artist HARDY will release his HIXTAPE VOL. 1, an album comprised of ten collaborations with 17 country artists, tomorrow (Sept. 13).
Produced by Joey Moi and Derek Wells, HIXTAPE VOL. 1 features a wide range of collaborators, including the likes of Keith Urban, Devin Dawson and Lauren Alaina as well as Tracy Lawrence, Trace Adkins and Joe Diffie.
“The more we kept asking people and taking chances … people kept saying ‘yes’ and it just became this really cool thing,” HARDY says. “Eighty percent of them are my friends. The spectrum is really broad. We have everyone from Devin Dawson to Joe Diffie, and everything in between. I think there’s something for every type of country fan on the record.”
HARDY has already released HIXTAPE VOL. 1 tracks “He Went to Jared” featuring Morgan Wallen here and “Nothin’ Out Here” featuring Thomas Rhett.
“I think it’s a perfect representation of who I am as an artist,” HARDY says. “There will be more. One hundred percent there will be more. My personal goal is that this does really well, that other artists hear this and they want to be on the next one…to which I would reply, ‘absolutely.’”
