Despite being only 21, Hunter Hayes has proven himself a multi-talented performer, having played every instrumental part on his self-titled 2011 major label debut. This deluxe edition replaces two of the original album's songs, "Everybody's Got Somebody But Me" and "What You Gonna Do," with new duet versions co-starring pop singer/songwriter Jason Mraz and rising Nashville star Ashley Monroe. In addition, Hunter Hayes (Encore) adds five new songs, including the single "I Want Crazy." Like the original LP's hits "Storm Warning," Wanted" and "Somebody's Heartbreak," Hayes's new songs showcase his strong melodic sense and honest, unsentimental lyrics.
