HARDY -- Sand in My Boots

[@natureboyricflair8555]

Wish more writers (and artists who write for others) would play the original song as it was written more often.. Hardy’s a master of the craft of songwriting. Brilliant human

[@dariushall21]

Morgan wallen wrote you make it easy and sung it so much better than Jason Aldean

[@devinstarkey222]

Try Will Hoge with even if it breaks your heart

[@devinstarkey222]

And there is 2 sides to that coin. Sometimes the song is just better sounding when it's done in someone else's voices and styles. One of the best examples i can think of is bad company and five finger death punch. Ffdp did better than bad company did in my opinion. Kudos to hardy for singing the songs he wrote in the first place but he kept himself humble knowing that someone else can do it better than him and he encouraged it.

[@AllThingsDad1]

When he starts singing and the entire crowd starts singing with him - that smile he gets says it all. How awesome!

[@J.bananas]

As someone who was born in Jackson, Mississippi, this blew my mind lol love this song

[@shaniacooley440]

HARDY is one amazing man, love his music. 💯🎶

[@jakehightower1]

for fucking that song up ok

[@2010-BTC-yep]

My admiration for writers is growing.

[@coleah69]

If you've ever been to Mississippi you'll understand why he mentions dodging potholes...

[@Mackle1]

This comment should be #1😭 if only everyone understood

[@mrredline3940]

Yeah potholes don’t exist anywhere else or anything!

[@coleah69]

@@mrredline3940 I didn't say that. I just hit a few there not saying potholes don't exist.. chill dude🤣

Amen

I didn't think anywhere could be as bad with potholes as Pennsylvania. Hardy just opening my eyes 👀 to everything!

Still listening 1-23 love his songs ❤

Big smile on my face

I knew it was mississippi! Ask my wife I have sang it that way since the first time I ever heard it!!

[@ratwelder3]

Oh my God! I seriously love both versions of this song! Michael I really love how you changed a couple lyrics, especially the part where you said Mississippi! Also I just love you so very much!

[@countryst]

Thansk for the comments. However, the lyrics changed with Wallen. HARDY. has the original version.

[@mrsuperbruce]

Amazing God bless the SSoooutth

[@denawolverton5451]

LOVE IT!!!

[@cherigrayson4389]

It sounds beautiful and I'm glad you and Morgan our friends you both deserve the best I just wish I had the best of the other and your bonus that I could have met great job to both and you guys don't need good luck you already have it

#Hardy beautiful

[@chrismcgough5016]

Sing it bro u and Morgan wallen are my brothers ❤

[@andyniblock5386]

This just sings so much better than "Eastern TN". Its a pity it was ever changed in the first place. Hardy is one of the best song writers in the business.

[@garybrown422]

WOW.. Hardy has helped make Wallen Morgan greater than Garth Brooks. I got nothing but love for both of them. But this is a Hardy song that Wallen made a huge hit. Hardy has my respect. A true all around artist not just a singer this man is a classic artist.

[@xleecewildheartx]

Morgan wallen will never tip Garth brooks. He’s pop country. Garth is the real deal

[@jordantaylor1270]

Fun Fact he sent this to Morgan Wallen

[@chrismcgough5016]

I live 26 miles from Mississippi state line brother

[@quincywho]

Just incomparable these days. Real deal.

[@Eric-jx4ti]

Changed one word

[@Scrapdaddy4343]

2. He wrote the whole song for Wallen. They just changed it to match Morgan since he was from Tennessee

[@K_Jamison628]

Anyone know the tuning and chords he's using? I've tried drop D in standard then 1/2 step down from standard to drop D 1/2 step down but the chords are messing with me the most. I keep zooming in and pausing but I can't figure it out..

[@rileybolton2022]

Drop C# tuning

[@MattCupz]

The tuning is DADGAD, The intro chords are 4----5----7----9 0----0----0----0 0----0----0----0 2----4----6----7 0----0----0----0 0----0----0----0 havent tried figuring out the rest yet but i assume a lot of it repeats

[@lukefagerwold9435]

I like this version but I get why Morgan changed it. He’s from Tennessee so if he’s talking about home he’s got to change some lyrics. Both sound great though

[@jus1047]

Anyone got a tutorial?

That’s all we have here Kotzebue Alaska Gravel roads and potholes

[@countryst]

Not sure if HARDY has ever been to Alaska, but maybe that's what he was really writing about :)

[@jasonweyenberg1275]

Anyone know the guitar tuning on this one?

[@tylerharmon8816]

Half step down drop C#

[@Kidsports513]

I did not know that hardy wrote parts of God’s country by Blake shelton

[@evancunningham5354]

10 number ones!!

[@evancunningham5354]

(As a songwriter)

[@thedarkdenial3912]

He’s written tons of platinum songs

hardy’s written like 90% of the songs in nashville

he still said dogwood trees instead of tall pine trees lol :p

[@wt-frazier]

hard to hear him with the drunk girl yelling the lyrics

[@countryst]

Understood. There was a lot of yapping unfortunatley as you can tell from this and other videos of the concert.

[@caseyforeman8881]

I SWEAR

[@Scrapdaddy4343]

Hardy should have kept this one for himself. He sounds great singing it. Would have still had big success with him on the vocals. I get the feeling he regrets giving this one to Morgan.

[@ArcherNoble]

Hardy is american Ed Sherran.

[@tiptonwindham6289]

Anyone know what tuning he is in?

[@evancunningham5354]

I believe half step down, with the low e a full step and a half (best way I know to describe it😂😂)

[@tiptonwindham6289]

@@evancunningham5354 so drop E to D then tune everything half step down

[@JohnCena-kn9tv]

D to G bud

[@Steadierpark]

All his songs are a half step down. There’s a few in standard, I just use a capo

[@murderglassestv3563]

Coming from Northeast MS I wish he said "a little town outside of Starkville" instead of Jackson. Regardless, the original is way better than Morgan Wallen's version

[@sixsentsoldiers]

Thought he was wearing redwings? Sand in my shoes would have been better.

[@jimjones9856]

I can't believe this is what music came to im glad it ain't on radio

[@dalehughes388]

Wym by that? And this song is definitely on the radio 📻 ❤😅

[@malynswann]

this is terrible morgan wallen sings it way better

[@Scrapdaddy4343]

There's a reason he gave the song to Morgan instead of cutting it himself. Hardy doesn't sound bad at all. You live under a rock if you think he does.
