Cody Johnson on the Early Stages of His Career & the Job He Had Before Pursuing Music 

I'm so happy Bobby finally had Cody on his show! It's time kick Fancy Like off the Radio!!! Time to make bring Country Back!!!!

Cody is a 10 on the Cowboy Scale! Thank you Cody for always keeping God at the center of your shows and for encouraging the youth of today to follow his plan for their life!

I’m so glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves. He’s the best country artist on the scene now. His passion and care for country music is awesome.

Saw him live this summer…..best voice in country music in my opinion! He’s a real cowboy!

The most talented musician in country music, and puts on the best live show I have seen!

I am such a huge Cody Johnson fan like huge fan he’s so amazing he’s such a good singer he will probably be the next George Strait

LETS GO COJO!!! Best country singer of this generation!!

Cody is a badass! He's as real as they get! One of my inspirations as an artist myself!

Cody Johnson is the real deal! Cowboy that can sing like nothing I've ever heard and god fearing human being! Love this guy and absolutely love his music... I'll be singing his music for years to come!!!

Cody is the real deal!!! Glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves

He ain’t kidding when he says they rope every day. I went up to Toledo, Ohio to see him on tour and as I was walking passed his tour bus, I saw them roping saw horses for fun. I was like you gotta be kidding be, he’s gonna be playing a sold out show in an hour and he’s roping a sawhorse 😂. Absolute cowboy for sure. Show was amazing and I hope to do that what he does day. He has changed country music for the better and I’m on board with it.

What a wonderful insight into Cody’s love and life He is quite a great person who is also very talented! Thank you for your interview

One of the best artists out today! He's authentic. And can sing with the best of them. Country music needed him!

Agreed. One of the best entertainers of all time

wishing you happiness always, watched you bull riding, now watching your music career. you will be big, keeping it real. will be trying to get you at our fair.

Cody is so smart and a classy GUY!!

This is a great interview,so informative and Cody has so much confidence in his self love it.

It would be hard to record a live album as good as stone little roof but Cody Joe I think you could do it That's a drunk text Love you

Good lord I cannot wait for the live album

I took notice of Cody when he released ‘Ride With Me’! I was scanning RU-vid videos and found a live version at Steamboat Springs (I think) and that’s all it took! There was just something about the live performance that sucked me in! Is there a song he sings that you can’t relate to? By the time I tried to get tickets the friggin show was sold out! Damn….guess that’s a good thing! Love this guy!

Please come to Calgary Alberta. We love you here.

I agree that his live show is on point and I didn't know about him until I saw him on the Up and Coming stage at Watershed 2019 Yeah I heard On My Way To You on the radio once or twice but yeah. Been my number 1 since.

I'm hooked! 😊

Okay I’m going to say something that will probably tick some people off, but whatever. I was born and raised in Texas. Always loved Cowboys and ranching. Grew up on westerns and Audie Murphy war films. I always wanted a cowboy life, but frankly I was raised by my mother, who was widowed at 39 with five kids while living in a suburb of Dallas. We were poor. I wanted to join FFA but we were too broke for that to happen. I started working at twelve and eventually bought my first straw hat and second hand cowboy boots. Never got to work a ranch, and ended up spending my life in law enforcement. However, I finally moved my family to the country and helped my father in law with his thoroughbred racing horses. We loved the country life, hunting, fishing, four wheeling, helping friends and family with cows (still do today). Always wore hats, boots, jeans and loved country music. But I never rodeoed and was a real cowboy. Now I sing classic country for seniors and anyone else that will hire me at 60 years old. That’s an entirely different rabbit hole that I won’t go down right now. But I say this all to make a point. I enjoy Cody, his music, and the fact that he is real, true to himself. However, there are millions and millions of people just like me out there. When this Bobby Bones, whom I have no idea who he is or heard of, makes a comment about a real cowboy singer, it rubs me the wrong way. I know many, and I mean many hard core country folks that never rodeo’d, never owned a cow or a horse that love country music and earned their right to wear whatever the hell they want, including a hat and boots. I also know city folk that have country hearts, and wear hats and boots. I do. Albeit a small community, it’s still considered a city. You don’t have to be a “real cowboy” to identify with country music or wear western attire. Country is a state of mind, the person, it’s in the heart and character of a man or woman. It doesn’t always coincide with actually living on a ranch or rodeo. There are actually few that are lucky enough to live that life. Yes, I enjoy the farm today, rodeos and spent many hours in Texas honky tonks. I believe I can say earned my hat and boots. So, musicians have to understand if they want to become popular, even financially independent, their music has to touch the souls of folks that aren’t “cowboys” too. And lastly. I’m glad Cody mentioned his friend Jody. I hate it when I see interviews and the other musicians that helped make these folks famous never get recognized. There are some amazing musicians and talent out there that never “make it” so to speak. Take care of those musicians. They deserve an immense amount of credit and respect too, in my opinion. Best of luck, Cody and team.

That’s because CoJo is That good!!!!

Nice thing about social media, the out of touch old guy in charge don't control what sells anymore. Put yourself out there and let the fans decide, and thank god! We are getting 90s country Back. Don't get me wrong i like some of the pop country singers but they should be just that pop singers. Cody Johnson and Brandon Davis are gonna being music back like Trace Adkins and Garth Brooks

Bobby bones is the most uncountry thing ever

Cody has a good moral compas.

Me and my best friend were supposed to see Cody Johnson, and it got canceled because of the weather and equipment got messed up. Spent 5 hours in line😭

That’s more like it

Rodeo now

Hey Jeff do some roping videos .

I'm in the arms of the Lord so when I went for 8 hour brain surgery I was ok.

Jesus Christ is Lord and King and Our Savior!

True that Cody, it's a blue collar sport.

The music industry is the worst thing to ever happen to music.

I can relate with Cody on the neck surgery issue. I fell off a 2 story house drunk as a skunk and didn't go get checked for 1 month. They had me in surgery within 2 hours and had to remove C-4, C-5, C-6 and C-7 disks that were ruptured and there were 2 vertebras that were spurred with fragments all over the spinal cord that they had to remove. 1st surgery was 8 hours 2nd was 6 hours. I was in a Halo for 6 months.

Another one I just don't get. Everything seems forced. Like he's putting up a front to appeal to pop country fans as some kind of country music savior. Besides that.....rodeo sucks. It's cruelty to livestock
