If You Have to Ask... You'll Never Know

Hold Your Country is the fifth studio album by American rock band Bulla, released in April 1, 2004. The title is taken from the lyrics of the song "Fifty Shades of Grey". This is the first studio album without the guitarist Bill Lawrence since A Shoal of Dead Fish, and the first and only album recorded as a quartet until Here or Anywhere.
