The deal extends ole’s previous co-publishing agreement with Bamford for future recordings and gives ole control of all co-publishing rights to Bamford’s 2013 album, Country Junkie, as well as his as-yet-untitled 2016 album.

Bamford released his first album, God’s Green Earth, in 2001 and has since recorded a total of seven albums and racked up six Top 20 tracks on the Canada Country chart, including the No. 1 hit “When Your Lips Are So Close,” which has also been certified gold. He is a 19-time CCMA Award winner, including two wins last year for Male Artist of the Year and Single of the Year. He has also been nominated for three Juno Awards and will compete for six CCMA Awards this year, including Male Artist of the Year, Single of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Video of the Year, and Record producer of the Year as well as the 2015 Fans’ Choice Award.
