ALL-STAR SERIES ENTERS WEEK FOUR
NASHVILLE, TENN. — The HIXTAPE: Vol. 2 saga enters week four today (10/1) with the man who started it all, as series founder HARDY teams up with Brantley Gilbert and Colt Ford for “To Hank.”
Featuring a twang-rocking groove from producer Joey Moi with co-production by Derek Wells and a nostalgic theme courtesy of writers Ben Hayslip and Chase McGill, the track is dedicated to a pair of true Country legends – Hank Williams and Hank Williams Jr. But with reverent vocals and lyrics steeped in the songs those icons wrote, it’s a tribute not just to the men, but to the soundtrack of Country life their music became.
