A big country music artist, Cody Johnson recently released his version of a country song which country music fans had hoped he would record and release for a very long time. 

Back in November, Cody Johnson and The Rockin’ CJB released their version of the song, Travelin’ Soldier, originally recorded by The Chicks. This is a well loved song in country music, following a love story of a girl falling in love with a soldier hoping to return home. 

Cody Johnson performed the song during a livestream in 2020, the fans quickly caught on and loved it! He decided to put his spin on Travelin’ Soldier, in March of 2022, when he released an acoustic version of the song on YouTube which currently has 63+ million views today! 

Since then, Cody Johnson has been performing the song on tour at his shows as well. “It’s been incredible to see “Travelin’ Soldier” land with fans in a way I never could’ve imagined when I first covered it,” Cody Johnson shared in a post on social media. 

“It’s become a favorite in the setlist, and it’s been powerful to see the love for it, from the signs in the crowd to the stories you’ve shared on social media.” He also shared in another post, “Watching the way y’all have connected to this song has meant more than I can put into words. Thank you, #COJONation.”

There’s truly something special about Cody Johnson performing this song. His vocals combined with his traditional country sound makes it such an unforgettable cover of his.
