Average Joes Entertainment artist Colt Ford has released the lead single from his forthcoming Aug. 7 album release, Declaration of Independence. The single is titled ”Back,”and features a guest appearance by Jake Owen.
Written by Ford, Shannon Houchins, Noah Gordon, and Mike Hartnett, the lyrics come from Ford’s childhood memories.
“This is such a personal song for me,” explains Ford. “It’s about my past and my future. To have one of my best friends in the music business, Jake Owen, be a part of this song with me is a big deal. It’s a song that I wanted a friend of mine to be a part of.”
In addition to Owen’s appearance, Ford’s 15-track release will feature collaborations with Jason Aldean, Boyz II Men, Kix Brooks, Montgomery Gentry, Darius Rucker and more.
Ford has sold 900k total albums and 3.1 million digital singles since his debut, Ride Through the Country, in 2008, and is now headlining his Declaration of Independence tour. Additionally, he has expanded his reach by launching his own Goodtime Vodka and Moonshine brand and creating own burger for Santa Fe Cattle Co.
