Growing up listening to country greats such as Kenny Rogers and Dolly patron, alongside a love of R&B and hip hop, Colt Ford's blend of country and rap is a natural reflection of the influences he grew up with. However, things could have been very different for Ford, who had initially found success as a professional golfer, competing on the Nationwide Tour.
He released his debut album, "Ride Through the Country" in December 2008, distributed through Average Joe's Entertainment, a label he had co-founded. Ford achieved early success with the single, "Ride Through the Country" which debuted at number 57 on the Hot Country Songs chart in 2009.
Ford toured frequently, finding success outside of the Nashville scene. Being a sensible businessman, Ford created his larger-than-life redneck public image, helping to raise his fame and popularity. in 2010, he released his second record, "Chicken and Biscuits." This was followed by "Every Chance I Get" in 2011, with the album's lead single "Country Thang" reaching number 55 on the Country Chart.
It was with his fourth album, "Declaration of Independence," (2012) that Ford was to achieve his first number one album, reaching the top spot on the Top Country Albums chart. The album also featured his highest charting single, "Back," a duet with Jake Owen, which reached the Top 40. Alongside his solo recordings, Ford has also collaborated with artists including Jeffrey Steele, Craig Wiseman, rapper Bone Crusher and Jermaine Dupri. His Fifth album "Thanks for Listening" came out in the summer of 2014.

Colt Ford is one of the best country music artists every to grace a stage. Ford's hits have been on the Hot Country Songs charts so many time and he's also won an Academy of Country Music Award. He's so awesome and his live shows are just as awesome as he is.
I saw him play at the Lake Striker Marina in Jacksonville, Texas in May, 2014. Now, that's not a really big venue, but it was okay. I wasn't shocked at all that the show was sold out because Ford is such a legend in country music.What I really liked is Ford didn't have a ton of musicians or flashy lights. It was him, a couple of guitar player, some drums, the basic band to back him up, and him, singing his heart out.
When he first started, he sang ""Country Folks," which was a hit because in Texas we're pretty much all country folks, so the crowd started out going crazy. Then he sang a lot of other really good songs, like "Twisted," "That's Country," and "Shindig." My favorite song, though, was "Chicken & Biscuits" which is kind of different, but I really like the song and I especially liked the way he sang it.I had so much fun at that show and I'm sure everybody else did too!
There may be a lot of crossovers in genre these days, electro and pop, alternative and rock, dance and R & B yet country and rap is one that you do not see very often. However due to the strength and energy of Georgian musician Colt Ford's live show you do tend to wonder why it is not more common.
Colt, real name Jason Farris Brown has well and truly found a gap in the market and having burst onto the scene in 2008 he has been turning the conventions of country on their head ever since. In his relatively short career he has released five studio albums all received well commercially in his homeland so there is no surprise that the demand to see the charismatic frontman live is pretty large. No larger than the stage show itself, Ford is a brilliant frontman and is able to address a 1000 strong audience as one in order to make sure everybody is enjoying the evening. There is mass singalong to 'Dirt Road Anthem' and 'Chicken And Biscuits' much to the delight of the performer. There is no denying there is massive emphasis on fun during Colt Ford's live show.

The show was very mismanaged. The staff was rude, the bouncers couldn't control the crowd. The building wasn't big enough to support that large of a crowd. Was a huge fire hazard. My fiance had to break up a fight due to the bouncers being I'll equipped to do so. We left before colt ford even came out. I will never attend another concert at that location again (surfer bar in Jacksonville beach). One of the bartenders was extremely rude, which I informed staff, so they threw us out and actually put their hands on me! I'm extremely disgusted!

I have loved Colt Ford, his beliefs, thoughts, songs and sounds for a long time. He is a great performer. I will be going to as many of his concerts as possible. He seems to have an honest, humble down to earth attitude that shows and makes the show even better.

Super high energy and a ton of fun! Colt Ford and his band put on an amazing show with tons of interaction with the audience. He sounds as good live as recorded. The band is very friendly as we had been seated next to them at breakfast in a local restaurant.
