News 16 Comments


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:


Matt Daniel – “Long Way Home” – This somewhat mysterious songwriter from Texas returns with yet another stunning track to compliment the stuff from his scandalously-underrated 2022 album All I Ever Need. This guy is just an incredible melody writer, with an excellent voice to deliver it. “Long Way Home” is immediately lovable.

The Castellows – “You Don’t Even Know Who I Am” – We knew these singing sisters were good eggs. They prove it once again with their rendition of “You Don’t Even Know Who I Am.” Even if you’re familiar with the original version of this song recorded by Patty Loveless, and written by Gretchen Peters, you’ll love the spectacular arrangement and sister harmonies The Castellows brought to this excellent song.

Tony Logue – “Yellow Rose” – We might have a Song of the Year nominee in this track off of Tony Logue’s new album Dark Horse. Tony really outdoes himself in the writing with how this song unfolds. It’s a great use of story, character, and perspective.

Juliet McConkey – “Another Time” – Make sure you don’t overlook Juliet McConkey’s new album Southern Front. It’s full of stunning writing and performances, and “Another Time” is an excellent specimen of this, looking at love through the aspect of time, and delivering and incredible forum for McConkey’s soaring voice.

Low Gap – “Churches” – This young and promising brother duo from Ohio turns in perhaps their best single yet. Employing smart writing and excellent instrumentation, “Churches” delves into the dichotomy of living in in rural Americana vis a vis religion.

Tony Kamel – “Makin’ It Work” – The frontman for the Austin-based bluegrass group Wood & Wire returns with his latest solo album We’re All Gonna Live out April 18th, co-produced by Bruce Robison. “Makin’ It Work” is a fun tune about trying to juggle life as a parent and a musician, and gives off strong vibes of The Band.

Zach Top and Billy Strings – “Things To Do” – Zach Top and Billy Strings together? What could be better! Their acoustic version of this Zach Top song is one of three just released on the 3-song EP Me & Billy. Hopefully the future sees more collaborations between these two landmark artists of this era.

Charles Wesley Godwin – “It’s Her Move” – Charles Wesley Godwin’s gift is embedding the gravity of real life moments into epic-feeling songs that take you on vivid journeys. “It’s Her Move” is from his new 7-son EP Lonely Mountain Town.
