In late September 2008, Jackson announced on his official YouTube channel that he was holding a music video contest for “Country Boy”. The viewers, or YouTubers, were asked to create a simple video no longer than five minutes driving around with a girlfriend. The contest ended on October 6, 2008, and was won by Clay Ashley, Dan Hair, and Mark Trotter of Sioux City, Iowa. Before the official video, television network CMT aired a live music video which featured Jackson performing the song with Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley and George Strait on the CMT Country Giants special.

“Country Boy” peaked at Number One on the Billboard country charts in January 2009, becoming Jackson’s twenty-fifth Number One on that chart and matching George Strait’s record for the most Number One hits by a country artist since January 1990, when the charts were first tabulated via Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems (counting only singles that were Number Ones during that timespan). To date, this is Jackson’s last number one hit.

This was the fourth #1 on the Country survey containing the words “Country Boy” in its title. The previous three were John Denver’s “Thank God I’m a Country Boy,” Don Williams’ “I’m Just A Country Boy” and Ricky Skaggs’ “Country Boy.”
