The Reviews Are In
At 42 minutes, A ROCK is a full listen, and entire album of music from an artist who is at the top of his songwriting game with fun ones, emotions, and great features from Lauren Alaina, Devin Dawson, and Ashland Craft thrown in.

Country Universe
There’s country pride, and then there’s overcompensation and reactionary anger to make it all sound insecure with itself. This is a textbook example of the latter at play.

Maximum Volume Music
The working class, the wholesome, the real down home that everyone wants from country music. Hardy taps into that. And he does it incredibly well.

Your Life in a Song
HARDY’s debut is a wonderful assortment of genres that peels back the layers of who he is as a solo artist. Both ‘BOOTS’ and ‘ONE BEER’ may be the stand-out gems here, but the entire record is very worthy of anyone’s time.

Entertainment Focus

Off The Record UK
The result is magical country, unusual, refreshing and clever. The record reveals more and more sides to HARDY as the album reveals itself, right up to his most poignant track – final track ‘A ROCK.’ This is a record that will leave you wanting more and feel a deep and immediate sense of affinity for the artist who created it. What a debut.

Country Perspective
A ROCK is unfortunately a step down for HARDY. While there are some good moments on this album, the bad moments overshadow them and likely will end up being the singles that come from it.

Complete Country
Like we mentioned, the album is full of songs that make us feel every kind of emotion. It will make you long for concert and festival season to return so we can witness the magic of HARDY live. We seriously can’t wait to hear more from this guy. In the meantime, we’ll be right here, enjoying 'A ROCK'.
