Cody Johnson is finally taking us back to the exact dirt road where he was born and raised.
The Texas superstar just dropped his brand new single “I Want You” and it is far more than just a radio hit. It is the raw opening chapter of his tenth studio album Banks of the Trinity arriving June 26.
Cody is opening up about the quiet life in Sebastopol that shaped the man we see today.
He spent his youth on the river banks and rode his bike two miles just for a cream soda and a Blue Bell ice cream bar. He would sit on the porch of Lawrence’s Grocery Store and listen to the wisdom of the local old men.
This record is his way of walking back down those dusty paths. He is inviting every fan to hop on their bikes and take this emotional journey with him.
You have to hear the pure country soul in his latest release right now.

This track is the lead for a massive 16 song project produced by Trent Willmon. The album cover isn’t even a photo of Cody.
It is a vintage shot of that very same grocery store from his childhood. This album features huge collaborations with Luke Combs and Brothers Osborne.
While the new music focuses on his humble beginnings Cody is currently reaching legendary superstar status on the biggest stages in the world.
He recently shattered attendance records by performing for over 80000 fans in a single night. This live footage shows the exact moment he proved he is the king of modern cowboy music.

Seeing him command a stadium with that “stone-cold” voice explains why he earned four 2026 ACM Award nominations. He manages to keep that small town humility even while standing in the center of a record-breaking light show.
This transition from the dirt roads of Sebastopol to the bright lights of NRG Stadium is what makes Cody unique. He isn’t just selling a lifestyle or a hat.
He is sharing a piece of his history that feels like a shared secret with his audience. This is exactly why fans are calling this his most authentic era yet.
