Pardi announces "Honkytonk Hollywood"
The title track of the 17-track album is out today.
"All my albums have been rock and roll with a country flare. This one keeps on rocking," Pardi said. "It's also the most grown-up record I've ever made, all my soul basically. 'Honkytonk Hollywood' is for the Nashville that's in my blood, and it's also a nod to my California roots. And right now more than ever, I hope it's a way to honor and lift up the people of my home state."
Enlisting Jay Joyce for the first time as producer and stepping away from the traditional Nashville recording system, Pardi spent three solid weeks in the studio, building each track up from nothing with his touring band handling the vast majority of the recording.
"We did what we wanted, and it stands out because of it," Pardi said. "Taking the chance paid off, and I kind of want to keep it that way."
The track list is:
1. Boots Off
2. Friday Night Heartbreaker
3. She Gets to Drinking
4. Gambling Man
5. Hey California
6. Rush
7. She Drives Away
8. He Went to Work
9. Last Call Thing
10. Honkytonk Hollywood
11. Love The Lights Out
12. Nice Place to Visit
13. Hard Knocks
14. Don't You Wanna Know
15. Bar Room Blue
16. Who I Don't Wanna Be
17. Kinda Wanna Keep It That Way
After headlining shows in the US and Australia including CMC Rocks this spring, Pardi will kickoff his Honkytonk Hollywood Tour on April 25, hitting 16 arenas and amphitheaters across the U.S. with support from Corey Kent on select dates and Kassi Ashton.
