“First One He Hasn’t Been A Part Of” – Hardy Reveals New Song “Buck On The Wall” Was Inspired By Hunting With His Late Grandfather

Sounds like HARDY is cooking up some new tunes. Yesterday, he shared a heartfelt post on social media about a song on his "next record" called "Buck On The Wall," which was inspired by his late grandfather who passed away last year. In addition to sharing the big buck he harvested this week, Hardy explained that his grandpa built a hunting cabin for his family back in 1989 that is now filled with 30-40 bucks on the wall that various family members have gotten over the decades. He elaborated, saying it's been a hard fall and winter season without him as he's been sorely missing his grandpa while hunting without him, though he's "damn proud" to keep the family tradition alive and plans to continue putting "bucks on the walls that he built": "I’ve got a song on my next record called 'Buck On The Wall' that perfectly describes this deer and the story behind it. Some of you know, but my grandfather passed away a year ago. In 1989 he built our family a little cabin which we have used as our deer camp for the last 35 years, where there are 30-40 bucks mounted on the wall. This fall/winter season is the first one he hasn’t been a part of, and I wish so bad he could’ve seen this deer, but I’m damn proud to keep our family tradition alive and keep putting bucks on the walls that he built. So this one’s for him. Slide 2 is my grandmother, his wife. Love you Pop." I can't wait to hear it, and I'm sure it will be an emotional and heartfelt tribute to some of his most special and cherished memories of his grandpa.

He also worked with superstar Post Malone for his first full-length country album F-1 Trillion, recording a song called "Hide My Gun." On an episode of the Zach Sang Show podcast, Hardy discussed what it was like to work with Posty and how he came to Nashville and “fully immersed himself” in the culture of Music City and the way most country artists go about making music, which is pretty different than almost any other genre. Hardy noted that other than the fact that they started writing and worked well into the night when they had meetings, sometimes working into the next morning, Post did it the full Nashville way and he respected that: “Well that’s what I love about what he did. Other than the time frame, like instead of starting at 11 we started at night, but he came to Nashville and he sat and he listened. He didn’t… and I don’t mean that like, he is a great writer, great writer, and he can write country lyrics, everything about it, but what I mean is he came to Nashville and said, ‘I wanna do this the way you guys do it.’ And he had songwriters that the world has never heard of, but in Nashville they’ve written tons of hit songs. He didn’t just want me and Ernest, Morgan and Brad Paisley, and Erich Church and Tim McGraw.” Maybe they'll record another song together for Hardy's next album, too...
