Colt Ford joins Bryan Martin on collaborative, “Over Hank It,” from Martin’s new album, Self Inflicted Scars. This song personifies the energy of a Honky Tonk while Ford and Martin declare that you can over-do a lot of things but there is one thing for sure… You can’t “Over Hank It.”

The album’s most recent single, “Everyone’s An Outlaw,” has garnered praise from Jessica Nicholson at Billboard, saying: “crashing guitars and a Southern rock-soaked vocal lead this track…a promising cut from Martin’s second full-length album, Self Inflicted Scars.” By the same token, Rachel Cholst with The Boot commended, “finessing top 40 country sounds with the gritty distortion of outlaw country, [‘Everyone’s An Outlaw’] goes down easy amidst its message of defiance.”
“Self Inflicted Scars — just the name may send you wandering, as it should,” says Bryan about the title of his new full-length album. “I’ve seen the deepest, darkest days and every time I’ve hit rock bottom I learned more about myself and life…mainly that I had no one else to blame but me, hence ‘Self Inflicted Scars.’ Through the album you’ll go on the same roller coaster I’ve been on; moving through love, heartbreak, self-destruction and redemption.”
Influenced by those traditional country music artists that he grew up listening to, Martin honed his songwriting and performance skills through the years. As a songwriter, his diverse catalog of songs numbers over 3,000 ranging from traditional country and southern rock to outlaw country and country gospel.
