Biography
Jason Farris Brown was born and raised in
Athens, Georgia. He was a
professional golfer,
playing in one Nationwide Tour but mostly serving as a golfing instructor.
[1] Later, he turned his interests to music, taking influence from
country music and
hip hop.
[2] Assuming the
stage name Colt Ford, he released his debut album,
Ride Through the Country
, on December 2, 2008. This album included the singles "No Trash in My Trailer"
[3] (a cover of a
Gene Watson song) and "Ride Through the Country" (a duet with
John Michael Montgomery), neither of which charted. He also appeared on a rap
remix of
Montgomery Gentry's late-2008 Number One single "
Roll with Me".
[4] Ford's debut album also has guest appearances from country singer
Jamey Johnson, as well as
Bone Crusher and
Jermaine Dupri, and Jeremy Popoff of
Lit.
[5] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the album a favorable review, saying that it was "an underground, indie rap album that recalls southern rapper
Bubba Sparxxx."
[6] The album did not enter the
Billboard
albums charts until 2009, reaching #32 on both
Top Country Albums and
Top Independent Albums, as well as #6 on
Top Heatseekers.
Ford is also a performer in the
Country Music Association Music Festival in July 2009,
[7] and wrote the theme song "Buck 'em" for the
Professional Bull Riders association. He also appears as a guest vocalist on the track "Tailgatin'" on
Cledus T. Judd's 2009 album
Polyrically Uncorrect
, a song which Ford wrote with Johnson and Popoff.
