Ford takes every opportunity to showcase his many different roles.
Ford embodies the curious experience of growing up in the new south. Traditionally Country but now with hip-hop and R&B influences- part of the hick-hop movement although that doesn't give him full credit. His songs and stylings lean into classic rock and Southern rock territory. He's plenty country, the type of person who can fit y'all twice into the same sentence. But he’s also a little rock 'n' roll, with the rock songs and metal chain that dangle from his side.
"I have the greatest fans in the world," Ford said. "They've invested in me, and I look forward to the opportunity to pay them back by giving them the rockingest show I can."

Artist Thomas Kinkade once said that he had something in common with Walt Disney and Norman Rockwell: He wanted to make people happy. And he won success with brushwork paintings that focused on idyllic landscapes, cottages and churches - highly popular works that became big sellers for dealers across the United States. The self-described "Painter of Light," who died Friday at age 54, produced sentimental scenes of country gardens and pastoral landscapes in dewy morning light that were beloved by many but criticized by the art establishment. Kinkade died at his home in Los Gatos in the San Francisco Bay Area of what appeared to be natural causes, said family spokesman David Satterfield.
