Cody Jinks Shares Certified Platinum Song with His Son


The Cody Jinks song “Loud and Heavy” was first Certified Gold on March 31st, 2020. On August 5th of 2020, his song “Hippies and Cowboys” also became Certified Gold for reaching 500,000 in sales and streaming equivalents. Then on September 15th of 2020, Cody Jinks and “Loud and Heavy” did something no other independent artist had done in country music in the modern era: go Certified Platinum for over 1 million in sales and streaming equivalents.

Earlier this week, Cody Jinks finally got his plaques for the achievement, and took to social media to show them off. But this wasn’t just about him. This was a family affair. After all, Cody’s son is a co-writer on “Loud and Heavy,” meaning he gets his own Platinum record as well. Last year Cody Jinks told the story from on stage.

“My son and I were riding down the road in my white van, it was his second birthday,” Cody explained. “He wanted to go to Tractor Supply Company and see a tractor. While we were up there it started raining, and I said ‘Hey buddy, there’s a lot of loud thunder and heavy rain out there’ and he just said ‘Loud thunder heavy rain’ over and over and over. And I got that tune in my head… He’s got half the writer’s rights on that song.”
