Cody Johnson Releases Studio Version of “Travelin’ Soldier” Ahead of Veterans Day
Multi-platinum selling artist Cody Johnson has recorded and released a studio version of one of his most requested songs, "Travelin' Soldier". Cody, an avid supporter of all branches of the military, as well as all first responders, intentionally planned the release ahead of Veterans Day to honor the military for their willingness to serve in both wartime and in peacetime. The song is available NOW across all digital platforms.
“It’s been three years since we released an acoustic cover of “Travelin’ Soldier.” The fans responded so enthusiastically and began requesting it during our live shows so it’s remained on the set list. I had no idea that it was going to give me the opportunity to hear, see, and bring words to y’all’s stories. I knew at some point, when the time felt right, we needed to record it in the studio. And that time is now COJO Nation!”
Cody’s current radio single “The Fall” is the second single off his Leather Deluxe Edition album and was written by Bobby Pinson, Jeremy Stover & Ray Fulcher. Bob Oermann, MusicRow Magazine, claimed of the song, “Philosophical, moody and super compelling. ‘The ride was worth the fall/The fall was worth the smile/Smiles were worth the tears…Life is worth the fall.’"A superb song in the throat of a master stylist. Essential.
Cody has four nominations for the upcoming “The 59th Annual CMA Awards” including Entertainer of the Year, his first-ever with the CMA’s, Male Vocalist of the Year as well as Music Event and Video of the Year with Carrie Underwood for their two-week #1 hit “I’m Gonna Love You.” The CMA Awards will be broadcast live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena Wednesday, November 19 on ABC and the next day on Hulu.
