With his fastest-rising radio hit "Country Thang," 2011 ACM nominee Colt Ford is the epitome of the fan-driven revolution of the traditional music industry. In just three years, he is nearing double-platinum album sales, has reached over 500,000 in album sales, performed over 500 dates and garnered his first ACM nomination for Vocal Event of the Year for single "Cold Beer" (featuring Jamey Johnson). 

Showing no signs of slowing down in 2011, the grassroots country phenomenon will release his third studio album, Every Chance I Get, to digital realms and stores nationwide on May 3, 2011.

The album's debut radio single an opening track, "Country Thang," features co-writer an Billboard #1 Songwriter of 2010 Dallas Davidson on vocals as well as a special album-only version with Eric Church as guest vocalist.

Written by Ford and the so-called "Peach Pickers" of Music Row - Davidson, Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip, the release is Ford's fastest rising radio single on the Country Billboard and Mediabase charts. 

On April 22, the music video for the song will debut worldwide on CMT and CMT.com.

Every chance I get will feature guest vocals from Tim McGraw, Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Charlie Daniels, Josh Thompson and more.

As a songwriter, Ford is most proud of album's song "She Likes To Ride In Trucks," which he wrote and included for his 16 year-old daughter, Annesly.

"I wrote this song for my daughter. She's 16, coming of age, and I'm not the man in her life anymore, her boyfriend is. She wants to do her own thing, chase her own dreams, and she doesn't need me as much as she used to. Whenever I do this song live, it'll choke me up. It's about real life, and real life is hard sometimes," says Ford.

Performing over 200 shows in both 2009 and 2010 on tour with Jason Aldean, Hank Williams Jr., as well as headling his own theater and club dates, Ford will likely top that number in 2011 in support of his new album.
