About
“This is exactly the record I want to put out. I
don’t know what’s going to happen with it, but I
can at least tell you that the one certainty I
do have about this record, is I’m proud of
it.” – Jordan Davis
To bring Jordan Davis to that admission has been
a life’s journey. In stepping back with country
music’s biggest stars to emerge in recent years
of his latest album Bluebird Days, he tells not
only the magic of a song like CMA Song of the
Year “Buy Dirt,” but of the evolution of Jordan
Davis the person, the songwriter, and the
artist.
Sometimes, a popular song becomes more than just
a hit—it turns into a phenomenon. And that’s
what happened with “Buy Dirt,” Davis’ 2021 duet
with Luke Bryan. It reached Number One on the
Hot Country Songs chart and was one of the Top
Five most streamed country songs in both 2021
and 2022. That kind of success brings
expectations, but—as Davis discovered when he
set to work on his follow-up album Bluebird
Days—it can also lead to a new sense of
possibility.
“There’s pressure, definitely,” he says. “It’s
not about trying to recreate ‘Buy Dirt,’ but we
can approach songs like we approached that one,
and that’s to write something that people are
going to feel, and not just hear.”
