This week, we got the pleasure to sit down with who we believe to be a country music legend — Mr. Colt Ford. Let me give you some context into how this interview transpired —it’s summer of 2016. Lucas and I are 18 years old about to head off to college and my parents invite us to the daytona 500 country fest. Now, my dad is a professional golfer and what you’ll learn more about in this episode, is that Colt Ford actually was too. So him and my dad go way back all the way to junior golf together. And in 2016 after the country fest, Colt invited us all back to his tour bus and we chatted and drank like twisted teas or something super high school like that. So when we found out Colt was in town for a show at Grizzly Rose, 1) we knew we had to go see him and 2) that we had to get him on the podcast. Now I don’t care if you’re a fan of country music or not, this episode is so much more than that. Colt Ford is such a dynamic human being, from being a songwriter behind major songs like Dirt Road Anthem, Country Must Be Country Wide, Back, & Mind On You. To being a badass performer. To trailblazing the country rap genre. To just being an incredibly kind, real, funny, creative, and honest person. This was one of my favorite interviews we’ve ever done. You’re going to learn about how he left the golf world in his thirties and became a country music artist, his song writing process, how he came up with the name “Colt Ford,” & hear behind the scenes stories of working with legends like Jason Aldean, Brantley Gilbert, Jermain Dupri, and Kevin Gates. You do NOT want to miss this epsiode. So with that, we’ll see you in the kitchen.
