A Memorable Weekend in Florida

redshirtHey ya'll!  I hope everyone out there is doing great.  I was out this weekend in Okeechobee, FL and man, let me tell you, we had more fun than the law should allow!  It was country folks, big trucks and a bunch of mud.  All that aside, though, after the show, a guy came up to me at the merchandise booth where I was taking pictures and signing autographs.  He looked like a regular ol country boy like me.  It was still loud and he was trying to tell me something and when I got up where I could hear what he was saying, it nearly tore me up.  He said, “Colt I drove a ways to get to see you.  I have cancer and the doctor says I got 2 months to live.”  He said all he wanted to do was see me one time before he dies.  I had to catch my breath.  I am looking eye-to-eye with a man who is my age and looked to be in good health but who only has a few months to live.  I shook his hand with a firm grip and told him I would be thinking about him and praying for him.  I don't know that I will ever get over that.  It meant so much to me for him to make the effort to come see me and I hope he had more fun than he thought was possible!

CRS-41 PARTY 
Thursday February 25, 2010 
At Legends in Nashville, TN

The label side of the country music industry is really up in the air right now. From day to day we see lower numbers not meeting high expectations which leads to a lot of artists getting dropped, not getting albums released or the media push necessary to meet the predicted sales numbers, but it also allows for independent labels to make a bigger splash amongst the country music audience and when you look down the list of indies making noise right now there is only a handful that are closely watching and Average Joe's Entertainment is no doubt on everyone's radar.

The success of Colt Ford and the buzz surrounding his uniquely twisted country music is enough to raise an eyebrow, but with a roster that also now includes Josh Gracin, Matt Stillwill, and more, they seem ready to let loose and make a huge splash and in front of a packed house at Legends Corner during CRS-41 the label showcased their roster and had the crowd moving and singing along from start to finish.

 

Rapping cowboy rides into Ocala

When strangers ask how he's doing, he responds "Pretty good for a fat guy."

Though he sings about pretty, honky-tonk women, he is a dedicated husband of 15 years with two children he adores. And as his star rises, he personally corresponds with fans through the social-networking forum MySpace.com.

He said he spends two-to-four hours each day answering fan mail on MySpace.

"I just think it's the right thing to do. My time is not any more valuable than anyone else's," said Ford, who brings his "Ride Through the Country" tour to Ocala's Midnight Rodeo Friday. Seems to pay off, too.

"Love the tunes," an Army serviceman billed as Travas Countryman wrote Ford on MySpace. "(I) plan on taking your music to Afghanistan next month with me. Would be cool to see you come do a troop performance over there. Look us up, give us a shout out."

Last year, Ford - a former pro golfer - and his band performed 210 shows, leaving him on the road in a lonely tour bus missing his family.

Still, there is no question Colt Ford the humble family man digs being Colt Ford the rowdy, rapid-fire, rock 'n' roll country star whose most-discussed lyric involves fighting a grizzly bear for some, uh, lovin' (Ford contends the lyric is a play on words that skirts around the bad word listeners think they are hearing).

No matter.

Ford's career has legs.
