Colt Ford
Apr 25, 2011
Average Joe's Entertainment artist Colt Ford has accomplished a lot in the past three years. He is nearing double-platinum digital single sales, reached over 500,000 in album sales, performed over 500 dates, and earned his first Academy of Country Music Award nomination for Vocal Event of The Year. Showing no signs of slowing down, he'll be releasing his third studio album, "Every Chance I Get," on May 3, 2011.
The album's debut single, "Country Thang," features well known songwriter, Dallas Davidson, on vocals, as well as a special album-only version with EMI Country artist Eric Church. It's not the only song on the album featuring guest artists; Colt also included guest vocals from Tim McGraw, Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Charlie Daniels, Josh Thompson, and others on additional tracks.
Being a songwriter, Colt is most proud of the song, "She Likes to Ride in Trucks," which he wrote and included on the album for his 16 year-old daughter. Ford said, "I wrote this song for my daughter. She's 16, coming of age, and I'm not the man in her life anymore, her boyfriend is. She wants to do her own thing, chase her own dreams, and she doesn't need me as much as she used to. Whenever I do this song live, it'll choke me up. It's about real life, and real life is hard sometimes."
Ford will spend most of 2011 on the road supporting the new album. For tour dates and additional information, visit www.coltford.com.
