Colt Ford Releases SLOW RIDE As Latest Single and Lyric Video

Country rap pioneer and million-selling artist COLT FORD tomorrow (August 9) releases "Slow Ride" as the latest single from his seventh album WE THE PEOPLE VOLUME 1 (Average Joes Entertainment) due out this fall. The song's lyric video, featuring footage of FORD on tour, premiered today at Billboard.

On the groove-driven song, FORD raps alongside guest vocals by country artistMitchell Tenpenny to create a seriously infectious blend.

Notes Billboard: "'Slow Ride' features Ford's unique blend of country storytelling and urban production with his rapid fire lyrics, a thumping bass beat and Tenpenny's sultry falsetto...With soaring fiddle parts, infectious beats and a seamless blend of Ford and Tenpenny's distinct singing styles, 'Slow Ride' instantly captivates."

Says FORD: "I wrote 'Slow Ride' with Taylor Phillips, Josh Mirenda, Jared Sciullo and Justin David Bertoldie, who plays fiddle in my band. I just love the way this song makes me feel, it takes me to a happy place and Mitchell's voice is Amazing. It gets ya hooked quick I think and you wanna roll the windows down, turn it up and head down the road "

"I've been a Colt Ford fan for a long time," says Mitchell Tenpenny, "so when I got the call it was a no brainer."
