Cody recently revealed the track listing for his upcoming album Leather, set for release on November 3. The 12-song album features two guest acts, Brooks & Dunn on “Long Live Country Music” and Jelly Roll on “Whiskey Bent.” Leather was produced by Trent Willmon and is available for pre-order now!
Cody spoke exclusively to Billboard about the new music and being ‘authentic.’
“People appreciate authenticity, whether it’s me being a cowboy and singing something that reminds people of
‘90s country stuff they grew up on, or someone like the Zach Bryans and guys that are more like what probably is considered Americana, or Jelly Roll, who is completely the opposite of me, musically,”
CODY JOHNSON
“But authenticity is the common thread.”

Writer Jessica Nicholson asked how the album’s cover art came to be
“I was working at the ranch that day, so I told my photographer Chris Douglas to come over..
CODY JOHNSON
That’s blood and hair in that picture from castrating bulls and giving them shots that day.
We didn’t stage any of that. We got started at 5:00 a.m. and worked all day and he ended up getting some incredible photos while we were working.”
