In a story out today written by Jessica Nicholson, Billboard claims Cody’s successful albums, singles and touring work together, “Along the way, pairing those releases and hits with steady-handed touring and his hard-charging, energetic stage show has aided in building Johnson’s reputation as one of the traditional country music’s tip-of-the-spear torchbearers.”
