The Boot-by Alanna Conaway: newcoltporchRhett Akins talks to The Boot about Colt Ford's latest single, 'Chicken and Biscuits,' which the two singers co-wrote with songwriter Ben Hayslip.

This was the first time Ben and I had written with Colt. It was like 9:00 AM, and Colt came in with a box of fried chicken and biscuits! [laughs] He raps, so we asked him how it works for us to write with him. He said, "Well I figure y'all would write the chorus, and I would write the rap part." I was like, "You don't understand ... Ben and I grew up together, and we were like the original Beastie Boys! We were writing rap songs before the Beastie Boys ever came out! We want to write the rap part, too!" I don't think Colt trusted us. I was like, "No, seriously ... Ben and I can rap!" [laughs]

 

Chicken & Biscuits coming your way

coltfordA hip-hop country song with fiddles in it? “Lord have mercy,” can anyone pull it off? Enter former pro golfer turned Hick Hop star Colt Ford, a man known to wax poetic about burritos and meatloaf on his Twitter page. He moves on to deeper subject matter here, exploring the connection between the love for his “backwoods baby” and his craving for chicken and biscuits. The way to this man’s heart is definitely through his stomach.

billycurrington When Billy Currington went to No. 1 with his single “That’s How Country Boys Roll,” he might have done a little bit of redefining within the genre.

After all, the only figures the Country Music Association’s Wendy Pearl could come up with when considering “country boys who roll,” were the Pillsbury Dough Boy and… (supply your own rimshot here) Willie Nelson.

Wendy’s one-liner was part of a presentation Monday during a pair of Music Row parties toasting Billy and his co-writers, Dallas Davidson and Brett Jones. Held at the offices of two performing rights organizations, ASCAP and BMI, the events brought a shower of mementos for the three composers as well as producer Carson Chamberlain, several publishing companies and the staff at Mercury Records.
