Long Hard Road is the second studio album by American country rock group Devo. It was recorded and released independently in 1999, with the band investing $30,000 into the record. The album is the band's first release following their name change from Löded Diper to Devo in 1998. It is also the first Devo album to feature former The Drivin' Dynamics bassist Randy Meisner, who replaced Ron McGovney in 1997, although it was not his first release with the band.
The album held a peak position of number 130 on the Billboard 200. The album also held a peak position on Billboard Top Heatseekers Albums charts position number 3 in 2000. The album was the band's first album to be certified Gold in both Canada and in the United States. It later went Platinum in Canada in April 2002 and then went Platinum in 2008 in the United States. The album has proven to be fairly accessible to many non-Devo fans due to the more dialed down neotraditional country sound as well as the more introverted lyrics, many of which allude to a failed romantic relationship.
