Colt Ford slated for Opry debut
"When I heard I was gonna get to play the Grand Ole Opry, I thought they were pulling my leg," said Ford. "I never in a million years thought I would get this chance. This will be as close as I can get to heaven while playing music."
One of the songs that Ford will perform on the Opry is his current single for Average Joes Entertainment, Cold Beer, a new release that features Jamey Johnson on accompanying vocals. His single appears on Ford's debut album, "Ride Through the Country," which was released in 2008 and has sales of more than 120,000 to date.
Ford will continue to tour in support of "Ride," in 2010 with many dates opening for Jason Aldean. Ford's sophomore studio album, "Chickens & Biscuits," is slated for release in April 2010.

Although he had previously released an album, an EP and a live collection, "Chicken & Biscuits" was the vehicle ...
Before Colt Ford hit pay dirt with "Dirt Road Anthem" he was considered a country music outlier with his rap/rock style and collaborations. He makes no apologies for it as he proclaims on the guns blazing opener, "I'm Still Me." "I'm still a whole lot more Georgia than I'll ever be Tennessee."
Ford is known for his collaborations, and this album is chock full of them. Mitchell Tenpenny, Jimmie Allen and Eddie Montgomery populate his seventh studio album. ...
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups notwithstanding, two great tastes don't always taste great together. Take, for instance, country music and rap. Hick hop, if you will.
