Davis stakes his claim as a country innovator, both expanding and modernizing his sound without abandoning his love for the classics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always loved artists who take risks,\u201d says Davis. \u201cI\u2019m in a different spot in my life than I was when I released&nbsp;<em>Home State<\/em>. We all are! 2020 was a tough time for everyone. I was able to use that time to re-center some things in my world, and I didn\u2019t want those lessons to go to waste. I wanted to create something special. The best way to that was to write honestly, and we did a lot of that on this record.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Country superstar Luke Bryan lends his vocals on the vulnerable title track and centerpiece of the EP. The two musicians had first met at an awards show, then bumped into each other on the golf course throughout the years that followed. \u201cWe sat around the fire after a golf tournament one day, smoking cigars and talking about everything&nbsp;<em>but<\/em>&nbsp;music,\u201d Davis recalls. \u201cThat conversation always stuck with me. Luke isn\u2019t just a great entertainer; he\u2019s a great Dad, a great husband, and a great friend, too. That\u2019s what \u2018Buy Dirt\u2019 embodies. When I wrote \u2018Buy Dirt,\u2019 I knew he could relate to the song\u2019s message. I took a chance and asked him to join me on the recording, and he said yes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Fans can watch the EP trailer detailing the new project&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/umgn.us\/JDBuyDirtAnnouncement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a>.
