The new album from Morris (far left) gets high praise from Drive By Truckers’ Patterson Hood
Athens, Georgia-based T. Hardy Morris teased us with a killer new song, Painted on Attitude, last October. Morris, a member of the bands Diamond Rugs and Dead Confederate, today announced he’s releasing his new album (as Hardy & the Hardknocks) in June.
In contrast to Morris’ more mellow 2013 solo release, Audition Tapes, the new album, Drownin on a Mountain Top, is smoking, according to Drive By Truckers’ Patterson Hood.
“Drownin on a Mountain Top blasts out of the garage like some high-octane muscle car full of friends blasting Mott the Hoople on the way to the last-call dive bar,” Hood says in a press release.
That’s high praise. (A fan, Hood previously invited Morris to tour with him.)
The new album is expected out June 23. Morris is also releasing the song, Too Little, Too Late, as a 7-inch split with the Futurebirds for Record Store Day this Saturday.
