Lore & Background

The creative environment for One Thing at a Time shifted significantly from Wallen's prior work. While previous albums utilized Nashville studios, this project was anchored in the vibrant music scene of Nashville, Tennessee. It is within this specific setting that Hardy joined Wallen and other collaborators like Joey Moi, Charlie Handsome, and Jacob Durrett to shape the album's sound. The result was a massive 36-track collection with a runtime nearing 112 minutes. Hardy's role as a co-writer on this record represents a continuation of their professional relationship, contributing to an album that would go on to break records for the most tracks and longest running time in Wallen's discography.
