Jason Farris Brown (born in Athens, Georgia) known professionally as Colt Ford, is an American country music artist and former professional golfer. He has released three albums via his own Average Joe's label, and has charted four singles on the Hot Country Songs charts. Ford has also written a theme song for Professional Bull Riders, and has worked with John Michael Montgomery, Montgomery Gentry, Cledus T. Judd, and Brantley Gilbert among others.
"Take a hefty portion of Southern charm, add a dash of country livin’, a pinch of urban style, wash it all down with a sweet, fresh sound, and you have Colt Ford. A man with such a blend of unique talents and tastes can only be the natural recipe for this new sound and musical format.(Average Joes Ent.)"
Brown was born and raised in Athens, Georgia. He was a professional golfer, playing in one Nationwide Tour but mostly serving as a golfing instructor. Later, he turned his interests to music, taking influence from country music and hip hop. Assuming the stage name Colt Ford, he released his debut album, Ride Through the Country, on December 2, 2008 through Average Joe's Entertainment, which he cofounded. This album included the singles "No Trash in My Trailer" (a cover of a Gene Watson song) and "Ride Through the Country" (a duet with John Michael Montgomery), the latter of which did not chart until the week of October 10, 2009 when it debuted at #57 on the Hot Country Songs chart. He also appeared on a rap remix of Montgomery Gentry's late-2008 Number One single "Roll with Me." Ford's debut album also has guest appearances from country singer Jamey Johnson, as well as Bone Crusher and Jermaine Dupri, Adrian Young of NoDoubt and Jeremy Popoff of Lit. The album did not enter the Billboard albums charts until 2009.

Back down the miles we traveled. Turning rocks for air to breath. Folding every corner, finding something to believe. Whatever makes you happy, dont hang around, you should live youre life. But life is lust I need to know. Was It Better Than Me? When You Say Youre Sorry, What Was In Youre Head? This Time Youll Be Coming Back For More. Maybe In Time Youll Be Coming Back For More. Maybe in time youll speak the things that really mattered. Faith in truth from honesty. Digging every detail of what it really meant to me. Well cast the feelings away. All of this He Said and She Said. Love is supposed to find a way. Its obsolete. Im feeling like a stalemate, burning bridges like a drama queen. Was It Better Than Me? Even Though Youre Sorry, What Was In Youre Head? This Time Youll Be Coming Back For More. Maybe In Time Youll Be Coming Back For More. Starting over. Back to the boards like I never met you. Its hard living life when youre starting over. Back to the day that I never knew you. Cause life is lust, we need to know. We know this love is not forever. Mistakes we made will last a lifetime. Was It Better Than Me? Even Though Youre Sorry, What Was In Youre Head? This Time Youll Be Coming Back For More. Maybe In Time Youll Be Coming Back For More. Maybe To Say
