Cody Johnson kicked off the week with a surprise for fans. He released a brand-new song called, “Blame Texas”.

And there was no countdown . . . no teasing. The song just appeared on streaming services earlier this week. It’s his first brand-new solo release since the deluxe version of “Leather” back in 2024. So, his fans are stoked.

Cody had this to say about releasing the song so suddenly, quote, “We had so much fun cuttin’ this one in the studio, I couldn’t keep it to myself. Had to let y’all have it.”

The best part of the song is when Cody chooses George Strait over Elvis.

Hopefully this is just a preview of more music coming soon. Cody has already confirmed a new album is on the way, and he’ll have collaborations with Luke Combs and Brothers Osborne.
