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.
Countrified is the first full-length album of the German heavy metal band Farmer Boys. All of the album's songs make reference to farm life or farm animals.

The album is the band's heaviest album ever recorded and it strongly features elements from thrash metal, groove metal and goth metal. Music videos for "Farm Sweet Farm" and "Never Let Me Down Again" were directed by Nick Lyon. Countrified sold over 10.000 copies.
