Fans filled nearly two city blocks to hear Hank Williams, Jr. sing his hits during the NRA Country Jam on Friday night (April 10). Lower Broadway in Nashville was shoulder-to-shoulder from 6th Ave. to Honky Tonk Central on 4th Ave., and the crowd arrived early.

The 2015 Country Jam lineup got bigger and even more impressive.

Colt Ford’s new album ‘Thanks for Listening’ will drop on July 1, but fans can enjoy ‘The High Life’ now. Chase Rice wrote and collaborated with Ford on the song, and in a music video set for release early next week. Get a sneak peek at the fun in this video preview exclusive to Taste of Country.

Colt Ford made a fan of Ronnie Dunn during a live show a few years ago. The country legend admits in this behind-the-scenes video that he quickly judged Ford, but after hearing his show, he understood. In fact, he joined him to sing the chorus of 'Mr. Goodtime' on the 'Ride Through the Country Revisited' album.

The often verbose Colt Ford is tongue-tied when seated next to country legend Wynonna Judd. Ford is obviously a fan, and he considers it quite an accomplishment that he convinced the famous redhead to join him for a cut on his 'Ride Through the Country Revisited' album. Watch behind-the-scenes footage from the recording studio in this ToC exclusive.

John Anderson helps Colt Ford rework 'Waffle House' as the Georgia-born singer's band plays along during this behind-the-scenes clip of the recording of 'Ride Through the Country Revisited.' The 16-track album offers a second take on many of the songs Ford released five years ago. Brantley Gilbert, Ronnie Dunn and Wynonna are three of the other special guests who appear.

'Drivin' Around Song' is Colt Ford's best chance for a radio hit, something the singer would likely be willing to shave his body hair for. Jason Aldean's chorus is smooth and memorable, and his presence on the track from 'Declaration of Independence' gives Ford superstar credibility.

Anyone who has been through a breakup knows that it takes a village to recover from a broken heart. That's why Tyler Farr called on his country music buddies Colt Ford and Lee Brice and 'Duck Dynasty's' Willie Robertson to join him for his music video for 'Redneck Crazy.' Moral of the story: Don't mess with country boys.

A new version of the John Anderson classic 'Swingin'' appears in the upcoming movie 'Super Zeroes.' The legendary country singer re-cut the song with Colt Ford and created a song that truly blends the two singer's unique styles. During an interview shared exclusively with Taste of Country, Ford and Anderson explain the history of the song and the new recording.

One more win and he's in. Craig Campbell's new song 'Outta My Head' is counting on fan support for a fifth straight night to get him into the Showdown Hall of Fame. The mid-tempo mourner has hooked fans new and old to top four other new singles in the online vote and on Taste of Country Nights. Today, Campbell will need to get past a tag team of singers.

Chances are Colt Ford is walking around with a big ol’ smile spread across his face today. The country rapper’s fourth studio album, ‘Declaration of Independence,’ hit stores last week, and the numbers are in. Fans proved once again that they love them some Colt Ford — the album debuted at No. 1 on the country album’s chart.
