The Hard Stuff is the solo debut album by American musician Wayne Kramer, best known as a guitarist with the 1960s group MC5. It was released on January 10, 1995, by Epitaph Records. Kramer is supported by a range of younger musicians including the band Claw Hammer and members of Bad Religion, the Melvins, and Suicidal Tendencies.[1]

The cover art is modeled after the influential Blue Note Records releasees from 1950s and '60s.

The album concludes with a hidden track titled "So Long, Hank", a tribute to writer Charles Bukowski who died in 1994.
