Hey ya'll! How the heck is everyone? I been thinking about all my friends around the country that have been supporting me and my music. What I want ya'll to know is it's YOUR MUSIC. I make it for ya'll. I don't care about the folks that don't like what I do. I know you can't please everyone. What I care about is all of ya'll that like what I do.

For the month of September (30) days we are selling (30) autographed & numbered Ride Through The Country posters and (30) numbered Ride Through The Country cd singles for $30.  Don't miss out on this special package! Remember it will only be around for 30 days! Click here to get yours today!

Ride Through The Country is an album that has surprised and shocked many in the country music mecca of Nashville, Tennessee.  With nearly 70,000 copies sold as of this writing, the self-released country record got to its lofty Hot 200 Albums Chart with hardly any radio or video airplay.  This, in and of itself, was enough to get the suits in Nashville’s attention. 

“All of the sudden the labels wanted to talk to me,” Colt Ford said in a recent interview from his home in Georgia, “The very same people who passed on my record before now wanted to do something.”

But Colt, even though he took the meetings, doesn’t really want to take their offers.  After all, why would you take 20% of your album’s profits from a big label when you already get 100%?  To get at the same monetary amounts that he has already achieved at 70,000 albums sold, the album would have to sell 1.4 million records.  Could this happen, sure but money isn’t everything to Colt.  “I am building a career.  I have a lot of younger fans and I want to be able to make records for them these next 10 years.” 

Colt Ford understands the value of hard work and touring,   “I have an 8-piece band,” he says, “And I will put up our show against anybody’s.” 

It is that touring that has paid off for the country artist that doesn’t sing.  When people inevitably bring up the ‘rap’ word, Colt bristles at being labeled a rapper, “I am a country artist,  I just don’t happen to sing.” 

Hey ya'll what a great week I had. It was my birthday on Thursday and   
we were in Lyons, GA, and it was one hell of a night. We got done and   
drove 50 miles to a Waffle House cause their was only a Huddle House   
there, and we just don't do that. (LOL) 

Friday we were back in Live Oak, FL. They are so good to me down   
there- we had a huge crowd and kept the birthday celebration going way   
too late. They had an after party and this young band was playing and   
they played "Ride Through The Country." It was cool as hell to hear   
someone else play my song. 

We finished out the weekend in Phoenix City, AL at a private party and   
WOW we had some fun, but this old fat boy is kinda tired. Gonna go   
home for a few days and then head to Nashville to keep working on the   
record. Go back on road next week with my buddy Jason Aldean--gonna be   
a bunch of fun. Two Georgia boys gonna do our thing. Hope to see ya'll   
soon! 

God Bless, 

Col

Hey Ya'll I hope everyone is doing Good out there. I had a great weekend playing some new places—like Coyote Joes in Charlotte, NC. The crowd was great.  I went to Mid State Mudd Bogg in SC and we threw down. On Monday I got to play at the Navy Base in Jacksonville and that was a HUGE HONOR, getting to play for the men and women and their families that serve our country.

 

I want ya'll to know I have working hard on a new record. I am really excited about it and I think ya'll will love It.  I couldn't wait till next year for ya'll to hear some new stuff so I got with Wal-Mart and they are gonna let me put out a DVD with a six song EP. It will have “Huntin’ The World,” and “Buck ‘Em” on there and a live version of me and Brantley doing “Dirt Road Anthem.” I got a few new songs also a new NASCAR song called “Left You In The Dust” and a song called “Day In The Life.” I got Andy Griggs to sing on there with me. There will be a few more also. 

 

I think it will be in stores by the beginning of October and the DVD is really cool. It has behind the scenes footage from “No Trash In My Trailer” and “Buck ‘Em” videos and just a ton of other stuff. I will be hard at it finishing the new record and on the road till end of the year. I can't wait to see ya'll soon. Thank you all for everything you have done for me. I am truly blessed to have such great friends and fans.

 

Ya'll Keep Spittin’ That Country. I know I will for ya'll!

 

God Bless,
