Texas based male country recording artist, Cody Joe Hodges, has a new album, “The Good Stuff”, which was released on November 4th. “Getting Back to Country” is the first release from the album.

Cody Joe Hodges’s new album, “The Good Stuff”, is a compilation of traditional sounding country songs, with a modern twist. Cody Joe’s music brings laughter, joy, reflection, and sometimes even sorrow. Inspired by country greats such as: Merle Haggard, George Strait, Don Williams and Waylon Jennings, “The Good Stuff” will take you back to sounds of the past, with a message for the present.

Cody Joe was recently nominated as Rising Star for the 2014 Texas Music Awards. He has also been nominated as Male Country Vocalist of the Year at the International Music and Entertainment Association for 2013 and 2014.

Cody Joe is a traditionalist in that he loves the sound of traditional country. Steel guitars, fiddles and good, old-fashioned story-telling songs, remind him of the way country music was when he was growing up.

Cody Joe Hodges’s music has been described as “outlaw country”, with a large influence of the country greats and performers who started the genre in the late 70’s and 80’s. Cody Joe’s voice ranges from silky smooth to raspy seduction. He and his band always thrill, putting on a high-energy performance at every show. It is rare that you will find someone that reaches across the aisle to both the old and new generations, but Cody Joe Hodges does it every time. Cody Joe’s sound is something out of the past, and his writing style of the here and now. His goal for every show is to fill the dance floor and get the crowd moving.

“I try to put a positive message in every song,” says Cody. “There is a lot of negative in this world, and when people listen to music, whether it is to escape or to be entertained, my goal is to put a grin on your face and a smile in your heart.”
