ACM and CMA Award-winning artist Jon Pardi and five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan today released the official video for their hit collaboration, “Cowboys and Plowboys.” Filmed outside of Nashville and in California, the video was directed by Shaun Silva and features Rodeo Champions including Kyle Lockett, Bert McGill, Dallas Owen, Dakota Eldridge, Jordan Ketscher, Shelby Cole, Jaylee McGill, and Wayce McGill.

Bryan and Pardi both teased news of the video earlier this week on their socials with a live performance clip of the song taken from Luke Bryan’s annual Crash My Playa event in Mexico.

Written by Rhett Akins, Jacob Rice and Cole Taylor, “Cowboys and Plowboys” is currently climbing the charts on Country radio and is the latest single from newly inducted Grand Ole Opry member Pardi, who recently became the only California native invited in Grand Ole Opry history.  Named a “hero in the making” (Variety), Pardi has earned six No. 1s on country radio to date and is noted for his “long-lasting mark on the genre” (MusicRow) and his impressive ability to carve out his own path creating “the kind of country music multiple generations came to know, and love can still wok on a mass scale” (Variety).

“Cowboys And Plowboys” Lyrics:

I wear a 20X American hat

A gold buckle from a rodeo

I wear a dusty old co-op cap

Make my living on them old turn rows

I ride a quarter horse, my tractor’s right here

I drink whiskey, and I drink beer

Cowboys and plowboys

Just some good old small town boys

Both make the world go ’round boys

Boy, ain’t that the truth

Yeah, we got different roots, we wear different boots

But we ain’t that different when the day is through

So, here’s to the cowboys and plowboys like me and you

Just like me and you

I take my girl to the honky tonk

I two-step and I spin her around

I take mine to them fields of gold

Hold her tight while the sun goes down

Cowboys and plowboys

Just some good old small town boys

Both make the world go ’round boys

Boy, ain’t that the truth

Yeah, we got different roots, we wear different boots

But we ain’t that different when the day is through

So, here’s to the cowboys and plowboys like me and you

Just like me and you

We crank some George Strait, we crank some old Hank

From the big sky to the riverbank

Cowboys and plowboys

Just some good old small town boys

Both make the world go ’round boys

Boy, ain’t that the truth

Yeah, we got different roots, we wear different boots

But we ain’t that different when the day is through

So, here’s to the cowboys and plowboys like me and you

Just like me and you

 Just like us, Pardi

You got that right, Luke

Jon Pardi‘s latest single, “Cowboys And Plowboys” with Luke Bryan is climbing the country charts, and he said one of the co-writers — Rhett Akins — is the one who first sent it to him and suggested he get Luke to record the song with him. It didn’t take long for Luke to reach out to him.

“I remember hearing it for the first time ‘cause Rhett Akins sent it to me and said, ‘You and Luke need to record this song,’” says Jon. “Luke called me like an hour later was like, ‘We gonna do this song, man?’ And it was just perfect. He comes from a farming background. I come from a farming/cowboys kind of lifestyle all the time now. It’s just perfect for me and him to sing together.”

“Cowboys And Plowboys” was written by Rhett, Jacob Rice and Cole Taylor, and it marks the first new music from singer/songwriter/producer Pardi since his latest critically-acclaimed album, Mr. Saturday Night.

Jon continues his Mr. Saturday Night World Tour February 13th in Billings, Montana.

Jordan Davis has released an acoustic version of his latest hit single, “Tucson Too Late.” The Louisiana native co-wrote the follow-up to his previous multi-week No. 1 “Next Thing You Know” with his brother Jacob Davis and brothers Josh and Matt Jenkins, the same dream team behind “Buy Dirt.”

Middle Tennessee, including Nashville and the surrounding areas, received several inches of snow Sunday night through Monday, and many of your favorite country stars (with their children and furbabies) enjoyed the snowstorm. Sam Hunt, who looked like he stepped out of the pages of a magazine, posted a photo of him and his daughter Lucy outside, while Jon Pardi, wife Summer (who is pregnant with their second daughter), daughter Presley and Jon’s father, along with the dogs enjoyed the snow after their flight to Mexico for Luke Bryan‘s annual Crash My Playa event was postponed. Carrie Underwood posted in her IG stories a photo of son Jacob looking out the window at the snow, as well as a photo of making sourdough cinnamon snowflakes. Maddie & Tae‘s Maddie Font posted photos of both her and husband Jonah with baby son Forrest looking out the window at the huge snowfall on her IG story.

Brothers Osborne will perform during the iHeartCountry Festival on May 4th in Austin, Texas. Jelly Roll, Jason Aldean, Old Dominion, Ashley McBryde and many others will also perform. Tickets to the public go on sale January 26th at 1pm ET at Ticketmaster.

Travis Denning and Kip Moore will join HARDY on his upcoming Quit!! Tour, kicking off May 30th in Rogers, Arkansas. Ella Langley and Stephen Wilson, Jr. will also be on the bill.

Jon Pardi released his debut album, Write You a Song, 10 years ago this week (January 14th, 2014). The California native grew up listening and singing songs by his heroes — George Strait, Dwight Yoakam, Merle Haggard, Alan Jackson — with his grandmother, has since exploded on the country charts with six No. 1 songs.

Write You A Song contains both of Pardi’s breakthrough hits—“Missin’ You Crazy” and “Up All Night”–as well as tracks that veer from pure honky-tonk and party songs to tales of love and romance. The bottom line, though, is pure, stage-worthy high energy.

“All I ever wanted to do coming to Nashville,” says Jon, “was to write rowdy, in-your-face, straight country music, and that’s what this album is.”

The album’s title track packs the kind of punch that marks Pardi as heir to a honky-tonk line that runs through Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam, and its spare instrumentation brings a purist’s grit to heartfelt tales of road life. “What I Can’t Put Down” is an ode to the addictive nature of cigarettes, alcohol, love and, above all, music. “Trash A Hotel Room” is not, as might be expected, a tale of road excess, but rather a tale of two lovers getting back to basics, and “Happens All The Time” makes a terrific song out of a pick-up line. If there is a bit of autobiographical philosophy here, it’s in the fan-favorite “Chasin’ Them Better Days,” an infectious look at hope and dreams in the worlds of music and love.

Jon is currently making his way up the country charts with “Cowboys And Plowboys” with Luke Bryan.

Jon Pardi has climbed into the Top 40 on the country charts with his new single “Cowboys And Plowboys” with pal and labelmate Luke Bryan. Jon represents the cowboy side of things with his ranching experience, while Luke embodies the characteristics and lifestyle of the plowboys (or farmers). However, the two are not completely separate, but contain many similarities as showcased in the song, written by Rhett Akins, Jacob Rice and Cole Taylor.

“Both farming and ranching is hard work, and if you do it for a living, you know,” says Jon.
“You have that bond of hard work together, and I think it’s really special. Of course, there’s ranching, you’ve got to drive tractors and there’s a lot of similar stuff in both of farming and ranching, so it’s just an awesome song.”

The recently-crowned Grand Ole Opry member will head to Mexico for Luke’s annual Crash My Playa event later this month. The four-day event takes place January 17th-20th at the Moon Palace Resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico.

Jon and his wife Summer just announced they’re expecting baby number-two, who will be welcomed by big sister, 11-month-old Presley.

Jon Pardi and his wife Summer are expecting their second child. They announced the news on socials on Sunday (January 7th) with a video of family moments with their nearly 11-month-old daughter, Presley Fawn.
