HARDY to Release Country Remix of “Truck Bed”

Riding high on the success of his massive monogenre hit “Truck Bed,” Hardy has announced plans to follow that up in coming weeks with a country remix, or re-imagining to be exact, of the smash release. The song, which was recently certified platinum for Hardy, and the first trap-country alt-rock song to reach the top 10 on the major country charts, will receive quite a makeover for this incarnation. 

Instead of the creeping guitar riff, there will be a crying steel guitar. The post grunge style nasal vocals will become a more note-bending drawl of the sort once employed by Lefty Frizzell. The heavy bass will be switched out with a 90s country style drum sound. There may even be some audible fiddle (possibly replacing the whistle in the original), clearly signaling a radical departure for the up-and-coming Mississippi boy.

Whether this release will continue Hardy’s winning streak is yet to be determined, but many behind the scenes are questioning the move. "Who's gonna play it? I mean, this thing is like, old-timey sounding and stuff," said Clearchannel country radio DJ Trey Turner. “Like from 1997 or something.”

"You can't G-walk to it for a Tik Tok; I don't like it," complained Kawntrygull56 on a short song teaser on Hardy’s Insta. Another comment went the other way with it. “THA GOAT don’t miss - making country music better than the legends! Waylon who??” Said Hardy fan PisswhereIwant. 

Hardy, for his part, maintains that this will play to a new demographic he hasn't reached before. "The people who actually like the organic, authentic-sounding stuff like Merle Haggard and George Jones..." said the musical enigma. “Maybe people will stop talking mean about me on Twitter now.”
