Jamey Johnson Softens Colt Ford's "Cold Beer"

Posted: November 25th, 2009 at 1:28 pm  |  By: Alison Bonaguro  

Is it bad if the only part of this song I really truly like is the chorus? "Cold Beer" is mostly a Colt Ford song, and he has this whole country hip-hop fusion thing going on. I'm sure there are people out there who love that, I'm just not one of them. But, I do agree with the general spirit of the verses about being more than ready for a cold beer. I just can't quite keep up with the rap. God love Jamey Johnson, though, for softening that rapid-fire cadence with a solid country groove as he sings the guts of the song: "Well, pass me a cold one, buddy, it's that time again/That neon sign says 'open' and I'm here with all my friends/So just keep them taps a flowin', the first round's all on me/And as long as they keep pourin' 'em, y'all we ain't gonna leave." I don't know how the two of them hooked up for this tune, but if they do a couple more songs together, they might just make a rap fan out of me someday.

    What does any of this have to do with Colt Ford or Jamey Johnson ?? This is the first time I’ve heard of Colt Ford and I’m certainly NOT into RAP or HIP/HICK-HOP!! However, I AM into Jamey Johnson and think he is TRUE COUNTRY..Peace Yall!!
