<h3>I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Colt Ford and catching one of his shows! I&#8217;ll have to admit that the conversation went way better than I had expected and I found myself having a new respect for the Georgia man.</h3>
<p><strong><a title="Colt Ford" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/colt-ford-concert-tour-tickets/">Colt Ford</a> </strong>had some of his early success when teaming up with <strong>Montgomery Gentry </strong>and <strong>Jermaine Dupri </strong>to help on their (separate) projects. He also joined the <strong>PBR</strong> in the making of <em>Buck Em&#8217;</em>, their official anthem. The thing that got him to pull the trigger and completely put himself in the industry was that he never wanted to look back and say &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t I try that.&#8221;</p>
<p>The work Ford has done with other artists have been some of the biggest crowd pleasers in history. <strong><a title="Tim McGraw" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSTMcGraw/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Ftim-mcgraw-tickets%2F">Tim McGraw</a></strong>, <strong><a title="Eric Church" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/eric-church-tour-dates/">Eric Church</a></strong>, <strong>Rhett Akins</strong>, <strong>James Otto</strong>, <strong>Kevin Fowler</strong>, <strong><a title="Randy Houser" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSRHouser/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Frandy-houser-tickets%2F">Randy Houser</a></strong>, <strong>Joe Nichols</strong>, <strong>John Michael Montgomery</strong>, <strong><a title="Josh Gracin" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/josh-gracin-concert-tour-dates/">Josh Gracin</a></strong>, <strong><a title="Luke Bryan" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSLukeBryan/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fluke-bryan-tickets%2F">Luke Bryan</a></strong>, <strong><a title="Jamey Johnson" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSJJohnson/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fjamey-johnson-tickets%2F">Jamey Johnson</a></strong>, <strong>Charlie Daniels</strong>, <strong>Darryl Worley</strong>, <strong>Trent Tomlinson </strong>and <strong>Josh Thompson </strong>are just a few on the list of many that he has collaborated with!</p>
<p><strong><a title="Craig Morgan" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/craig-morgan-concert-tour-tickets/">Craig Morgan</a> </strong>joined Ford on the close to his heart tale of daughters growing older, &#8220;<em>She Likes To Ride In Trucks.&#8221; </em><strong><a title="Brantley Gilbert" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/brantley-gilbert-concert-tour-tickets/">Brantley Gilbert</a> </strong>and Ford had a tremendous amount of underground success in 2008 with the now nationally huge hit they wrote, &#8220;<strong><em>Dirt Road Anthem</em></strong>,&#8221; (performed by <strong><a title="Jason Aldean" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSAldean/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fjason-aldean-tickets%2F">Jason Aldean</a></strong>).</p>
<p>Ford and Aldean are good friends, with a lot in common, including that they are both from Georgia. The two played over 20 shows together in 2009 and this is where the &#8220;<em>Big Green Tractor</em>&#8221; singer first fell in love with &#8220;<strong>Dirt Road Anthem</strong>.&#8221; He would watch Ford on stage and be shocked at the amount of people in the crowd singing along word for word.</p>
<p>There have been many rumors that Aldean stole the song, but Ford was quick to defend his friend! </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;He didn&#8217;t steal the song. Lots of artists record others peoples songs, they just have to pay for them. Most artists wouldn&#8217;t even ask and he called me himself. He&#8217;s a humble dude and always says the song was a hit before him.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Aldean might have thrown people for a loop when they first heard him on this track, but they obviously liked it! The song is the biggest single of his career and was the #1 ringtone for 17 weeks, something no other artist in any genre has done!</p>
<p>With all of these collaborations already under his belt, I was curious who would be next. Ford told me he would love to work with some of the best in the business including <strong><a title="Keith Urban" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSKUrban/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fkeith-urban-tickets%2F">Keith Urban</a></strong>, <strong><a title="George Strait" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSStrait/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fgeorge-strait-tickets%2F">George Strait</a></strong>, <strong><a title="Blake Shelton" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSBlakeS/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fblake-shelton-tickets%2F">Blake Shelton</a></strong>, <strong><a title="Hank Williams Jr" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/hank-williams-jr-announces-2024-tour/">Hank Williams Jr</a>.</strong> and of course his good friend <a title="Jason Aldean" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSAldean/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fjason-aldean-tickets%2F">Jason Aldean</a>.</p>
<p>Although he is known for teamwork, he still has songs that are his and his alone. &#8220;<em>Chicken and Biscuits</em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>Every Chance I Get</em>&#8221; are both examples of his solo work.</p>
<p>Last Thursday I saw Ford and his band give a show at <strong>George&#8217;s Majestic Lounge </strong>in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Let me tell you, he has a very talented group of guys behind him! On each song you would have thought John Michael Montgomery, <a title="Brantley Gilbert" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/brantley-gilbert-concert-tour-tickets/">Brantley Gilbert</a>, <a title="Tim Mcgraw" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSTMcGraw/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Ftim-mcgraw-tickets%2F">Tim Mcgraw</a> or any other famous voice was on that stage! He has some very loyal fans and that is what helps him sell out shows. They don&#8217;t mind that each artist isn&#8217;t there because they just genuinely enjoy the music.</p>
<p>For those of you who are one of those loyal fans (or if you are a new fan), you are in luck! Ford will be releasing a new album very soon, to be on sale around <strong>May</strong>! He is very excited about it, saying it is the best group of songs he has ever had! He will also have a very exciting tour this summer! The <strong>Declaration of Independence Tour </strong>will be a reasonably priced and family friendly tour, that will make stops in fields across the south! With guests <strong>JB and the Moonshine Band </strong>and <strong>The Lacs </strong>joining him, this is sure to be a good time!</p>
<p>At the end of our talk, the most important thing I learned about Ford is that he is a guy who sticks behind his music and wishes everyone with a dream success!</p>
<p>For those of you who are wishing him some more success, call in to your local radio stations and request one of his songs!</p>
