Their first professionally produced album, Six Strings One Dream, was released in September 2009. Three singles from the album reached the Top 10 of the Texas Music Charts. Johnson's next album, A Different Day, was released in 2011 and produced by country music singer Trent Willmon. After that Cody won the 2011 Texas Regional Music Award for New Male Vocalist of the Year. After the win he left his day job with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to focus on music full-time. He teamed with Kyle Park in 2012 for the Dancin' and Drinkin' at Johnson Park Tour. fifth album, Cowboy Like Me, was released on January 14, 2014, also produced by Trent Willmon. Cowboys Like Me sold 8,000 copies in its first week of release, debuting at number 7 on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart and number 33 on the Billboard 200 Chart. Cody now has a new album tited Gotta Be Me. With this album he worked with some of Nashville’s best songwriters including David Lee, Terry McBride, and Dan Couch while drawing on his own history, in its own compelling subject matter. On Cody's website, when talking about the new album, he says "“Every Scar” draws a life lesson from all those rodeo bruises and broken bones. “Half A Song” blends his barroom experiences with the melodic and rhythmic sensibilities he picked up at his daddy’s feet. The fiddle-rich “Wild As You” embraces a freedom-loving woman whose sense of adventure is as deep as [his] own. And that spacious gospel closer, featuring his parents on harmony, surrenders some of the rabble-rousing, adrenaline-raising pieces of his past into bigger spiritual hands." Cody is now traveling all over the states performing at a variety of places. So I would suggest if he comes to your town, you go and see him! When I listened to him for the first time I thought "Finally! I found another Justin Moore!" Because he doesn't only have that recognizable voice, but he has that traditional country sound! I don't know any other way to describe him all together than "country." Below I have Cody's verified social media and YouTube link to my favorite song of his "Wild As You." Go check him out! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twitter: CodyJohnsonBand Facebook: Cody Johnson Band Instagram: Cody Johnson Band YouTube: Cody Johnson Website: www.thecodyjohnsonband.com
