Colt Ford Insists He's Country to the Core

Filed under: Country News


Colt Ford may not be among the mainstream but he insists he's an authentic country artist -- even if radio doesn't agree.

"I was just at the [CMA Awards], and one of the snootier, big-label radio people was wearing $300 blue jeans and telling me I wasn't country because I don't play traditional country music," Colt tells North Carolina's Asheville-Citizen Times newspaper. "To that I said, 'Hell, you don't play traditional country music on your station. If you look at my lyrics and don't think I'm country, then I reckon you and me are just from two different parts of the country.'"

Colt's innovative music has already earned him an appearance on the Grand Ole Opry stage, a tour with Hank Williams Jr., and a Top 10 album. Known for his humorous songs like 'No Trash in My Trailer' and 'Chicken and Biscuits,' Colt says his music brings a much-needed form of entertainment that crosses genre lines.
