Countrified is the fifth album by Canadian country music band Emerson Drive. It was released in 2006 as their first issue for the Midas Records label. In the U.S., the album produced three singles on the Hot Country Songs charts: "A Good Man", "Moments" (the band's first Number One hit), and "You Still Own Me". Two of the album's tracks are covers: "You Still Own Me" was previously a hit in Canada for Johnny Reid, and "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is a cover of a song made famous by the Charlie Daniels Band.

Brad Allen and Keith Follesé produced most of the album, except for "Moments", "Lucky Man", "Everyday Woman", "Countrified Soul", and "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", which were produced by Josh Leo and Teddy Gentry.^[2]
