Newest Adds to Saving Country Music’s Top 25 Current Playlist (#152)

News 14 Comments


It’s an absolutely LOADED update to the playlist as A-list singles and album cuts come flooding in on us, pushing well past the 25-song limit to include them all. This playlist is so good, moves are being made to make it illegal in Alabama.

The Saving Country Music Top 25 Playlist is built to keep you informed on all the best songs and albums coming out right here, right now in country and roots music. It’s available on most all streaming formats (see below), or you can just use the song, artist, and album recommendations to find something new to listen to. New songs just added.

Newest Additions:


Jesse Welles – “Horses” – Saving Country Music’s reigning Songwriter of the Year is about to release what might be one of the most anticipated albums of the year in Middle due out Feb. 21st. “Horses” takes all the spellbinding wisdom Welles shares in his viral Instagram songs, and combines it with a refined and full band studio sound. Songs like these remind you why you’re a music fan.

Silverada – “Texas 42” – Mike Harmeier of the greatest country band in the world has announced that throughout 2025, they’ll be releasing acoustic songs that will eventually lead into a full-length album called Texas 42. Some of the songs will be acoustic versions of older songs. But the title track is a killer new tune that highlights Harmier’s ability to embed little bits of memories into songs. This is what makes Silverada’s songs so memorable.

John Mutchler – “Young Man’s Lament” – The former frontman of the Austin honky tonk band The Golden Roses is retooling and refocusing on songwriting, and turns in an excellent tune here about the struggles of a middle aged musician measuring their worth.

Harper O’Neill – “My Love, My Love” – What a great blues-inspired sweaty and gritty country song that you can tell was recorded live and captured the raw energy in the room. It’s a cool introduction to Harper O’Neill for those that needed one, co-written with Ed Williams and Jason Nix.

Vinny Tovar, Aubry Rodriguez – “Pass Me By” – This is not only a great version of the Johnny Rodriguez classic “Pass Me By” (If You’re Only Passing Through),” it’s got a great story behind it. Aubry Rodriguez happens to also be Johnny’s daughter. And along with Vinny Tovar, they represent two rising voices in the classic side of Hispanic country music.

Summer Dean – “Somebody’s Knockin’” – Whoa! Something’s gotten into the Queen of Texas Country. She left her inhibitions in Oklahoma, and turns in a extra sultry version of “Somebody’s Knockin’,” originally recorded by Terri Gibbs in 1980.

Mark Morton, Cody Jinks – “Brother” – When you heard rumors that Cody Jinks would be signing vocals on a song by Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton, you just assumed it would be metal and metal only. Instead, the result is a true cross-genre collaboration that highlights the strengths of both men, and cross-pollinates fans.

David Quinn – “Mr. Bossman” – David Quinn explores the funky side of his country influences on his new album called Up To Snuff, co-produced by Adam Odor and featuring appearances by Mike Harmeier of Silverada. The opening song “Mr. Bossman” is indicative of the attitude and full-tilt approach you can expect on the album.

Courtney Patton – “Can’t Remember How To Smile” – Texas songwriting legend Courtney Patton does it again with her new album Carry You With Me. Though she explores influences outside of country (though closely adjacent) for much of the album, “Can’t Remember How To Smile” pleases you with its steel guitar, and ultimately is a country song at heart with its story of separation.

Whitey Morgan and the 78’s – “Somewhere Along The Way” – Modern Outlaw legend Whitey Morgan still has us on the edge of our seats as to when he’ll officially release his upcoming Shooter Jennings-produced album. But he’s not being stingy with the singles, dropping his third so far, which is an ode to relationship Splitsville called “Somewhere Along The Way.”
