John Cody Carter’s CD, Don’t You Think It’s Time, answers its question with its music. Yes, it is time for a new traditional country music CD that is pure classic country music. 

"Don’t You Think It’s Time" features fourteen songs written in the classic country style of Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson and Hank Cochran (“I Fall To Pieces,” “Make The World Go Away”). In fact, Hank Cochran co-wrote five songs with Cody on "Don’t You Think It’s Time",  and Merle Haggard wrote the CD’s liner notes, giving the CD his full endorsement.

The CD’s first single, “Let’s Stop Right Where We Are,” reached #24 on the Texas Music Chart. The second single "Don't Walk Out On Me" went to #23 on the Texas Music Chart. Both songs enjoyed over five months in the top 50 of the Texas Music Chart.

John Cody Carter had already toured most of the United States by the time he was eighteen, beginning his performing career as a drummer with his mom’s band when he was just nine years old.  Cody at age 12 performed as a drummer, guitar player and singer on several weekly Northern California Country Music Television shows including   "Forty Grand Country"  and

"The Morris Taylor Show".

Cody’s first songwriting contract was with Merle Haggard’s "Inorbit Publishing" and by 1990 he penned his first top 40 single on the country music charts. Cody’s chart success opened doors in Nashville and he moved there with a new songwriting contract and an eventual recording contract with Warner Bros. Records A&R VP Doug Grau. Cody and Doug’s relationship continues today as Doug heads Yell Records operation. As an entertainer, Cody equally combines his passion for songwriting, performing and recording.

Don’t You Think It’s Time, produced by Gregg Brown and John Cody Carter, is available now at www.johncodycarter.com and  wherever CDs are sold.
