Colt Ford is quite the character! His album “Ride Through the Country” is unlike anything that I normally listen to. It’s country with a little ghetto edge to it. As Colt says on the first track of the album which is also titled “Ride Through the Country” featuring John Michael Montgomery, “most country folks sing, but I couldn’t, so I’m rappin”. Colt continues to tell you about himself and where he’s from throughout the song and the entire album. Despite his mad rappin’ skills, he says “I’m still that same‘ol country boy, and that’s all I’ll ever be, and sometimes, those bright lights blind me, and make it hard for me to see, but when I need to be reminded, I take a ride through the country”.
You might find an empty can of beer, when you roll up to Colt’s single wide in your four wheel drive, but other than that he claims that there’s “No Trash In My Trailer”…. well… since the day he threw you out of there! This song is one of my favorites on the album. I like a good sense of humor, and this song (as well as most of the others) is where you’ll find some! When listening to this particular song and how he describes what he has out in his yard, I just couldn’t help to think of Larry the Cable Guy.
This album isn’t completely about hangin’ out with friends, having drinks, and getting into bar fights. There’s a more serious side of Colt in the song “Never Thought” featuring Lindsey Hager. This piece has some emotion tied into it. He’s torn between love and what he needs to live, and tends to end up losing everything he loves. As the couple reminisces on what use to be and how it’s changed from good to gone, she doesn’t care if he ever comes back home.
I passed Jamey Johnson and Colt Ford their “Cold Beer”, so it’s time for me to start heading out. I’ve enjoyed getting to know Colt and taking a “Ride Through the Country” with him, and I’m sure you will too. So, go ahead…. pick up your copy of the album… Oh, oh, oh…and don’t forget to grab two shot glasses and a bottle of tequila while you kick back with “Mr. Goodtime”!

This was a VERY good review and I LOVE Colt Ford !!!!
My life is a mess and you can probably guess. I lost two people who were close to me.
One was my father the other my best friend both died within 2 weeks.
I do not understand why they could not stay I really thought God had blessed my days.
I sat and ask why he replied they were ready my child so just give it awhile.
You will see brighter days, your pain will go away, and then you will begin to smile.
I feel empty inside and all I want to do is cry,. I often ask why could it have not been me?
God said you are there to help the others in need your strength and love is all they need.
I like this review!! I like how the titles of the songs were used to go along with the review!! I also love Colt Ford!!
when i listen to the song ‘dirtroad anthem’ i think of all my friends from georgia. my best friend ever lives that song everyday. we dont talk much so every time i hear it i think of him and wish i could see him.
im as real as they come if you dont like it than go suck on you thumb. country boys loove me when they see i dont play all i can hear them say is thats what you call a country gal. so if you know your country and and you know it go ahead and raise your class to slow it cus we all country.
i love yalls music and i know all the words to all yalls songs i love it so hope to hear a new cd soon keep i up guys your biggest fan michele
My life is pretty great. I love and I hate. Every year the hubby and I wait for huntin’ season to start. During that time you can’t tear us apart. We can’t wait to let the arrows fly and bring home the prize. All those deer and turkeys meeting their demise. People call us Rednecks like it’s a bad thing. We just reply to them by putting Colt Ford on the Ipod and sing! We are proud to be Rednecks from the South. If people don’t like it they can just shut their mouth.
I’m just a girl from a small town city
Only 13 not knowing anything
Now I’m stuck out where only corn grows
Down in Alabama
Where its flip-flops, overalls and steal toes
Trying to find the way of life
Dirt Roads, rock climbing, mud ridden and huntin
Not knowin what I was getting into or where Id end up
Try to fit in doesn’t always work
Now everyone thinks you’re a big ole jerk
Get up go to school
Do what you got to do
To keep on surviving in this country life
Sometimes still wondering even why go on trying.
3 years later still hangin by a thread
Now its all about the driven
Who knew it would come to me
Getting out there and getting dirty
Now im 21 time to party
Finally getting the need to knows of a country life
So not all about the dress or who your with
Although these red neck boys are pretty cool
7 years went by thought Id never make it
But finally im living the country life
Of dirt roads, mud ridden, rock climbin, and even huntin,
Well my name is Wanda Lee , I come from Fort Misery
I’ve been on my own since i turned sixteen
My life has been rough, yea it’s been real hard
But i’m a country girl rebel by the grace of God.
I’ve worked real hard for everything i own
I paint murals for people , Have four kids full grown
I’ve lived right here for over twenty two years
I like to sit around and karaoke and have a couple of beers.
Colt Ford’s my favorite rapper and it ain’t no lie
I’ll be listenin to him rappin till the day i die
Yes Sir!
If it has legs, I can ride it. If it has parts, I can make it. If it has wheels I can drive it. But if it’s gotta heart, i’m gonna break it.
I swear me and this Colt Ford have the same life, by his songs. Last of the Good Ol Boys,dieing breed<,. Now that the wife did her thing and became an ex ,amen, I am just raisen my boys and enjoyen everyone wanting to be “Like Me”. YEE HAW
Hey, I’m Tammy! I did not like country music, til my 13 yr. old came home and was listening to Colt’s music. I’m like dang I like that!! Yes, I like rap but after what I heard from Colt’s music I was hooked. As I see it a lot of people are trashing Colt for his rapping music. Saying that he is racist. As I see it these people are jealous! They don’t want you to come in and be better than that Lil’ Wayne. I told my 13 yr. old that I would much rather him listen to Colt, the music is soooooo much cleaner and makes sense. My son got to see Colt in Asheville, NC and said the show was awesome. He wore his Colt Ford t-shirt to school on the first day. So I say go for it Colt!!! I hope you go to the top! When are you coming back to North Carolina???
My name is T-roy ive grown up in this little town seince i was a boy, i come from a dead end road way back in the sticks just me and the boys everybody calls us hicks, bows, guns and dogs that is our high step across that line man i wouldnt try, im just an honest dad try’n to live my life mess with my boys and you damn right im gunna fight, theres alot more i could say but im gunna call it good, im loud proud and country by the grace god

I been out drinking with the boys again,I ain’t coming home till after 2am,
See no one around this dusty town untill daybreak,mayb a party or a place to sleep

hi u know my name and ur songs is just what we r all about we loved to ride threw the woods with case in back of truck bening ur from georgia it makes it even better we love u all
my life is pretty plain, i am a stay at home mom, with and wounderful boyfriend who works all the time and a 5 year old little gril, who loves colt ford and i have to lisen to him every time i get in my car. our favorit song is hunt the world. that is what we live for huntting.
Colt Ford is the SHIT! Me and my buddy are BIG COUNTRY if ya know what i mean, and huntin the world is the song we breathe!
Well I was raised up on George Jones and George Strait. I live your average country life on a farm with chickens and goats.My entire life one of the few things beside god that has gotten me through tough times was country music. I was introduced to Colt for about 5 months or so ago by my older brother. At 17 im hooked on Colt Fords music. My favorite songs are Mud Diggers because i am a FEMALE MUD DIGGERS sorry boys we do it just as good and then its Ride the the country because there aint nothing like a nice ride by your self down an old dirt road listening to the best of counrty then there is Dirt Road Anthem because i myself lived on an old dirt road up until about a couple years ago. I believe the worlds theme song should be HUNTIN’ THE WORLD thank god for the musicians who are bring country back
i love colt ford i saw them when they were at country stampede they kick ass

Mr. Goodtime! Except I’m a Mrs. Goodtime! Love it and cannot wait to see Colt do his thang on October 10 in D’Iberville, MS.
I got turned onto Colt’s music a little over a year ago when a buddy of mine brought a bootleg downloaded CD with him one night when we were taking one of our “country cruises”. I immediately liked it. The song that stuck out to me was Ride Through the Country. I grew up a country kid in Ohio. As I got older my heart got swayed from the country life. Then four years ago I moved to North Carolina with my family in an attempt to find my roots. The reason that song means so much to me is because it’s kinda like my life. Taking these rides through the country with good people by my side reminds me of the fact that I’m country through and through. Thank you Colt Ford!
Beers and big trucks and the music loud,
Are all that I need in this country crowd.
Mud, blood and bulls are this cowboy knows,
living my life at the rodeos.
My heart got pulled away but I’m back again,
Raising pure hell with all my rowdy friends.
So if a damn good time’s what you want to see,
Then hop up in the truck and take a ride with me.
i love ya’lls music and gona come see ya at guitars and caddilacs in october. comes hell or high water i will be there with all my friends…lol. i’m goin threw a divorce with 3 kids, after 11 years (dam all cheatin men) and ant ben to a concert in a long time. i think its bout time i kicked my boots off and have some freakin fun. don’t ya?
thanks for the heads up, jenna! great review.
good ass song
I’m gonna be real honest and let ya’ll know that I wasn’t raised out in the country. Very deprived from the real meaning of life. Now that I’m out on muh own and pay’n muh own bills…. I choose to git muh butt out there where the black top ends. I see where this songs emplies all of who I am now rather than who I was when growing up. Simple and very ready fer a good time with muh T.O.U.G.H. MUDDERS and kuntry folk friends. IT don’t git no better than that!!! FAMILY & FRIENDS, Ready to go git a Tail Gate PARTY and make’n sure we got our two shot glasses and a bottle of tequila cuz we got pleanty of our Mr. GOODTIMES around fer us gyrls!!! Shoot, when the mood hits…. we turn into them there MUD DIGGERS and git ready to Saddle UP too!!! All I know is that I don’t plan on have’n any reasons fer have’n anyone Meet Me at the Waffle House. Hell, befer it starts gittin that bad… I’ll have ‘em Meet Out Back When I’m Done so We can Fight. Soon as the weather turns…I go to Huntin the World and take’n home some deer. Try’n to save the money to go and bring home some Elk and a nice CAMO Truck!!!
Bout all I can say bout me fer now, figna go head down the Dirt Road and chill with muh family. LATER FORD!!!
colt is the man seen him at a mud bog it was the sh-t!!!
It Gets Hot In Alabama
When I’m gettin’ on your nerves in the kitchen
And nothing I say or do is right
Think long and hard ’bout what you mention
Cause I’m the one you lay with every night
We both Know it gets hot in Alabama
and that boss man you’re workin for’s a fool
It aint my fault there’s no shade down at the sod farm
And no breeze blowin’ ’round to make you cool
When I forgot the ice you know I had no malice
I didn’t do it just to make you mad
I got a cell phone call from a girl friend down in Dallas
And I drove by the store just like that
We both know it gets hot in Alabama
And I know you come home so tired
Dont stand there in disgrace
Just come’er and kiss my face
Take me upstairs and love me real hard
Now it was you who said you wanted to be a daddy
Now I’m standin’ in my nightgown lookin’ fat
And you say you want to unwind down at Bubba’s all the time
With George, Jim, Old Grand Dad and Jack
We both know it gets hot in Alabama
Hey no one knows that better than me
So sit down in that chair ’cause you aint going no where
Just sit back down and enjoy my company.
I said sit back down and enjoy my company
Cause in a few more months we’ll be sittin’ here as three.
Hey Ya’ll I Really dig ol’Colt Ford. If he wasn’t married I’d ask him to be my babydaddy. We’d have us a kid that’d be a musical redneck Mozart. My 16 year old daughter thinks he’s a real hottie cause she’s got a fat man fetish. Kid actually asked me to try to hook up with the ol’boy so she’d get a better grade in gym class. Dont ask me how those two things go together. I warped her mind early on. Had a few too many buwisers when I was breast feeding. Anyway why dont you throw in some tix to see the fella in GA or Alabama some time. The pize pak is pretty lame. But I want it anyway, koozie and all.
Hi I am Stephany and here is my rap:
Im from the country, just a girl of 33
Most the time chiling, my family and me
But sometimes at night, when the kids are in bed
My foot gets to stompin and i get a song in my head
And out comes a rhyme, clear as a bell
Never had anyone I thought I could tell
I just sit and rap about my life
and being a mama and a damn good wife
And I feel like the pressure of the day
Seems to leave me, as I say:
I’m from the country , and hell yeah I’m big
and if you gotta bottle, I’ll take a swig
I cuss like a sailor, so what I’m grown
And I ‘ll be this way to the day that I’m gone
proud of who I am and from where I come
Some call me trashy, redneck or dumb
But I know what’s important, so I dont care
Got a message for the preppys, over there
Chorus:
Yeah, so what, I talk funny
Who cares, I aint got loads of moneys
I dont look like you, but who wants to
Not skinny as a post , Hell I’m bigger then most
And I weight about as twice, as you do
Hell yeah, I am real loud
But guess what, I am also proud
So turn around and walk away in a whirl
CAUSE I’m A BIG ASS COUNTRY GIRL

Well i’m a country girl, that’s what i’ll always be
I was raised in the woods in Monticello Kentucky
Well i love to go climbin in my daddy’s Chevrolete
pickin ginseng and mushrooms it’s the hillbilly way
We never had no money and my daddy worked outta town
lived out in the middle of nowhere and nobody was around
My momma didn’t drive and she didn’t have a car
so we just stayed at home, we never went too far
She was only thirteen when she married my dad
guess she thought it was better than the life she had
my family are the Burkharts and the feudin McCoys
they raise some beautiful girls and some bad ass boys
We love to pick guitars and sing an old song
and we crank it on up whenever Colt comes on
Is it too late to enter? I see a winner hasn’t been picked yet. If it is, that’s okay! Thanks anyway! Here’s my little rap:
Round here we like to hunt and fish,
Eat our southern food off a paper dish,
Honky tonkin’ and mud ridin’,
We ain’t always law obidin’,
I work real hard,
Got tattoos and scars,
Tuning up and racing cars,
I guess I’m just a smalltown redneck star
Colt, you rock! My fiancee and I got introduced to your music about a year ago and we have been hooked ever since. Can’t wait to hear more from you!
I saw that Trailer video several years ago and I loved it. I’m glad you decided to come out with this new one. I heard it, and I knew it was you, and I love it that JMM is on the tracks with you on Ride Through the Country!!
