Cody Johnson: podcast appearances and interviews

Cody Daniel Johnson, born on May 21, 1987, is known as the head boys basketball coach at The Thin Blue Line Outdoors. While he gained prominence as a country music singer with a self-released discography that includes six albums, his role in sports administration demonstrates a diverse career path. Johnson's musical style is characterized as contemporary country and neo-traditionalist country, drawing influence from artists such as George Strait and Willie Nelson. His album Gotta Be Me debuted at number two on Billboard's Country Albums chart, and his subsequent releases include the major-label albums Ain't Nothin' to It in January 2019 and Human: The Double Album in October 2021. His song 'Til You Can't' earned two awards at the Country Music Association Awards in 2022, and his album Leather was awarded CMA Album of the Year in 2024. Johnson has also toured internationally, including shows in Australia in 2023 and 2025, some of which sold out. Despite his success in music, he maintains an active involvement in athletic coaching and outdoor activities.
