In his 35-year career, Mr HARDEARLY has shared the stage with many internationally renowned artists such as ZZ Top, Status Quo, Bernard Allison, The Commitments, Georgia Satellites, Van Wilks, and Fred Chapellier, to name a few.
His new album "Redemption & Bad Habits" adds a new dimension to his discography and musicality, a maturity that he has achieved after traveling more than 1000 concerts across Europe. This places him today among the must-see blues artists in France!
"Redemption & Bad Habits," Mr H's sixth studio album, is the one that reflects him the most, allowing him to assert his place among the best French guitarists!
His gravelly voice adds an extra touch to highlight the quality of this album, which is scheduled for release on February 8, 2024, still with the REBEL MUSIC label and SOCADISC distribution.
The 15 tracks that make up the album depict current events we all experience, such as addiction of all kinds with "Bad sign, Before you make me going mad, Tightrope,” depression due to the loss of a loved one, (Sure you’re still around, I ain’t got nothing but the Blues), but also relationship problems (Sending all my love, Good with my lady, I’ll be killing you, or Just got ten stones left from Le Havre) or the current economic crisis (Double bum, Looking for love). Not to mention some instrumental hits he has a secret to (Redemption & Bad Habits, The miracle (Hommage à Jeff Beck)).
This new album is a turning point in his career, much more accomplished than the previous five, reflecting 16 years of work that have brought him a very personal sensitivity that ranks him among the greatest French blues guitarists/singers today.
But don't worry! His White Urban Blues (Blues Urbain) is more relevant than ever...
Mr Hardearly: an artist to (re)discover on stage as well...
