Colt Ford is back with his best album ever and all it took was a return to his roots.
“I went backwards,” Colt says. “I went back to Ride Through The Country.” Which is not to say Colt simply re-hashed his breakthrough album. Quite the contrary, in fact.
In all, Colt wrote or co-wrote 14 of the album’s 15 tracks. “This album is very real and honest and by far the best record I’ve ever made,” Colt says with pride. “The last two records—I stand up and cheer for them—but I tried to make a lot of people happy on the last two records and I took the edge off of it. On this record I put the edge back on there.”
Those familiar with Colt’s lotta-fun-legacy shouldn’t be surprised that Declaration of Independence is chock-full of good time anthems and left turns. “I hear artists say, ‘I’ve got 10 songs and they’re all singles.’ Well, I don’t know if I want to even hear that record, because that shouldn’t be the case,” Colt contends. “If you did 10 songs and they’re all singles you did a whole album of vanilla. I would prefer to have a few different flavors. Just because something isn’t designed as a single, doesn’t mean it’s not a great song.”
For the legion of fans that have seen Colt’s live shows—over 750,000 did in 2011 alone—“the edge” is what they’ve come to expect. In the same way that a superstar athlete leaves everything he has on the field, Colt knows no other way to perform than to be all in. “I give it everything I’ve got when I go out on stage,” he says. “It’s about the fans. That’s my goal, to reach and touch as many people as I can. I don’t really have any goals beyond that. I’m so blessed and lucky to play music for a living.”
Perhaps it’s that sense of not belonging that allows Colt to connect to his blue-collar fans. “There’s nothing about me that ain’t country,” Colt says with a laugh.
As millions of fans and Colt’s artist friends know, truer words have never been spoken.

Well I’m sure it would have been a great concert had it actually happened. My thoughts and prayers are with Colt Ford and his family right now. Hoping for a healthy recovery and maybe I can see him another time!!! The Lacs were awesome tho
Unfortunately Colt Ford could not be there but The Lacs definitely made up for it. They killed it. They made sure that everyone had a great time.
Colt put on a great energetic show. Love his patriotism and down to earth personality.
Setlist was short and time between opener "Dillan James"and Colt Ford was lengthy. All and all great show and a great time at the 8 second saloon Indianapolis!
The sounds was horrible in 8 seconds for whatever reason! We could hardly understand what he was saying…
Colt Ford is a hell of an entertainer. Love his vibe, his music and his stage presence. Can't wait till he comes back into New Hampshire/Maine area.
Colt Ford shook the house at AMP theater in New Haven KY.Glad to see him again.
He was so great with his fans! He interacted and took pics. He was so personable!!!! I loved the concert and would go again!
It was a great concert, loved the atmosphere & good vibes. Colt put on an awsome show.
