The reflective track comes off the Nashville singer\u2019s recent album, Country! Country!<\/p>\n

\n\tHardy<\/a> appeared on The Tonight Show<\/a> to perform his song \u201cBottomland.\u201d The country singer showcased the anthemic track solo on the late-night show\u2019s stage, sitting on an upturned log as the camera swept around him. (The song is titled after a particular type of camo clothing favored by Hardy.)<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBottomland\u201d comes off Hardy\u2019s recent LP, Country! Country!<\/a>, which arrived in September. The song sees the Nashville musician reflecting on his roots as he sings, \u201cLord just take me as I am\/ Bury me in bottomland\/ I am just a country boy\/ Where I come from didn\u2019t have no choice\/ But what I\u2019ve done well or so I\u2019m told\/ So baby wear my watch, baby sell my gold.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCountry! Country! marks Hardy\u2019s fourth album. It features 20 tracks, including single \u201cFavorite Country Song.\u201d During a recent appearance on\u00a0Rolling Stone\u2019s\u00a0Nashville Now\u00a0podcast<\/a>, the musician discussed the new songs, his choice to cover the 1975\u2019s \u201cLove It If We Made It,\u201d and the 2022\u00a0bus crash<\/a>\u00a0that left him physically injured and suffering from PTSD.<\/p>\n

\n\tRolling Stone wrote of the album<\/a>, \u201cBut underneath the surface,\u00a0Country! Country!\u00a0is, like much of Hardy\u2019s work, surprising. There are some dark moments, including at least the full eight songs that find him contemplating his own burial or death.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHardy will promote Country! Country! with an expansive tour next year. In October, he announced his upcoming Country! Country! Tour!, which kicks off in February and runs through August of 2026. The trek will feature a well-curated rotating stack of openers, including radio hitmaker Tucker Wetmore, proudly indie duo Muscadine Bloodline, and country honky-tonker Jake Worthington. Cameron Whitcomb, Mitchell Tenpenny, and McCoy Moore are also on the lineup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The reflective track comes off the Nashville singer\u2019s recent album, Country!
