SUMMARY:Colt Ford
DESCRIPTION:\n	\n		\n		Colt Ford | 10:00 PM\n		\n		Take a hefty portio
	n of Southern charm\, add a dash of country livin’\, a pinch of urba
	n style\, wash it all down with a sweet\, fresh sound\, and you have C
	olt Ford. A man with such a blend of unique talents and tastes can onl
	y be the natural recipe for this new sound and musical format. Colt Fo
	rd embodies the seemingly unusual pairing of the Southern country and 
	hip-hop musical influences that he heard growing up in small-town Amer
	ica just outside Athens\, Georgia\, not far from the new Southern hub 
	for urban music in Atlanta. His newly styled country music is truly a 
	blend of many American musical styles\, including country\, rock\, hip
	-hop\, and rhythm & blues. With this musical mixture\, Colt blazes for
	ward with a new\, creative sound for the all-American everyman. Althou
	gh the stories may differ for rural and urban listeners\, Colt deliver
	s a common message and emotion with an uncommon sound. A man of extrao
	rdinary talents and background\, Colt still humbly considers himself a
	n “average Joe.” A songwriter\, golfer\, musician\, and family man
	\, he continues to enjoy hunting\, fishing\, and spending time with hi
	s wife and two children. Although he has traveled around the globe as 
	a professional golfer\, he still prefers to live in his small Southern
	 hometown. In the face of all of his musical and other accomplishments
	\, he holds the moment that he got his wife to say “yes” as one of
	 his greatest honors. He is a fun-loving guy who likes to make people 
	smile and show them a good time\, whether with a light-hearted joke or
	 a rocking new song.Colt Ford grew up listening to country music\, and
	 his first concert was Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers together in Georgia
	. He eventually gravitated towards R&B and hip-hop and made his musica
	l debut in high school writing a rap for a friend. Colt soon found tha
	t writing came easy to him and began working with acclaimed producer J
	ermaine Dupri and other developing hip-hop artists.His connections wri
	ting in the hip-hop world and his other love of country music produce 
	unprecedented collaborations on his latest projects. Colt’s diverse 
	co-writing credentials include country music songwriter and recording 
	artist Jamey Johnson\, songwriter/guitarist Jeremy Popoff of the alt r
	ock band Lit\, and hip-hop writer Attitude. Other musical contribution
	s include country artist John Michael Montgomery and country music duo
	 Montgomery Gentry\, hip hop artists Bone Crusher and Sunny Ledfurd\, 
	and No Doubt’s Adrian Young. Colt Ford debuted his new country music
	 format in nothing less than grand style. With encouragement from his 
	wife\, a pro bull riding fan\, Colt wrote “Buck ‘Em” for the Pro
	fessional Bull Riders\, Inc. The organization quickly adopted the song
	 as the new PBR anthem and Colt made his musical and video debut on na
	tional television at the VERSUS Invitational Pro Bull Riding Competiti
	on in Madison Square Garden in January 2007. The unique fusion of musi
	cal styles makes “Buck ‘Em” as popular among the traditional leg
	ends as it is among the younger riders. Further honoring the sport\, t
	he video features several top bull riders and is a guaranteed favorite
	 among the fans.Colt’s current album appeals to the all-American eve
	ryman just like himself. To get to know Colt Ford\, just listen to “
	RIDE THROUGH THE COUNTRY\,” as he invites you to Any Country Town\, 
	USA\, where you can find him with all his friends. Soon you’ll learn
	 why he calls himself “MR. GOODTIME” in this fun\, feel-good song.
	 If it’s just “one of those days\,” Colt offers up “GOOD GOD O
	 MIGHTY” to help you get through with a smile. In the great American
	 tradition\, “TAILGATE” directs you to back up the truck\, fire up
	 the grill\, and have a good time. If you are looking for a rocking ba
	rroom song\, check out “COLD BEER” and then two-step all your past
	 lovers to the door with “TRASH IN MY TRAILER.” Remarking on how s
	tress\, our heritage\, and our dreams can pull us in many directions\,
	 Colt takes time to reflect in “TWISTED.” Celebrating all the infl
	uences on his new country style\, he brings back the party in “SADDL
	E UP.” As Colt works on his new album\, slated for release in 2008\,
	 he is also the subject of a new reality TV show\, “Who Is Colt Ford
	?” The show gives a glimpse into the life of this talented yet perso
	nable man as he strives for nothing less than success in his musical c
	areer.\n		more >>>\n	\n
