Newest Adds to Saving Country Music’s Top 25 Current Playlist (#155)

News 12 Comments


Don’t be caught uttering the words “Today’s country music sucks.” There’s perhaps never been more good country music out there right at your fingertips. You just have to know where to find it. That’s what this playlist is for.

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:


William Beckmann – “Honky Tonk Blue” – William is quickly distinguishing himself as one of the premier traditional country singers of the new generation, and this new song only helps elevate that prestige. Now signed to Warner Music Nashville, Beckmann could very well be part of the spear tip of the neotraditionalist surge, just with a more refined and classic style. This new song was co-written by Chris Stapleton.

Jake Worthington w/ Marty Stuart – “I’m The One” – There isn’t much bigger praise for a young neotraditionalist than to not only have Marty Stuart co-write a song with you, but then to appear on it as well. Jake Worthington is winning over all the oldtimers by giving them hope for the future of country music with songs like “I’m The One.”

Kelsey Waldon – “Comanche” – Named after her 1998 Jeep truck that looks like a Cherokee missing a topper, Kelsey Waldon uses the vehicle as symbolism for strength in solitude. “Comanche” is the debut track from Kelsey’s new album Every Ghost out June 20th.

Walker Montgomery – “Almost, so Close, so Long, Goodbye” – Many guys are rising up to rekindle the ’90s country sounds, but Walker Montgomery’s one of the few that comes in direct lineage of it as the son of John Michael Montgomery. Earlier in his career, he dabbled a bit more with the radio side of country. But his last few single have been certified country heaters, and “Almost, so Close” is no exception.

Lola Kirke – “241s” – Lola Kirke’s new album Trailblazer has lots of folks singing her praises, even if it comes with some doses of indie rock. “241s” is a straight country heartbreaker though, and one of multiple quality country tracks on the record.

Jesse Daniel – “My Time Is Gonna Come” – Boy, we sure hope Jesse Daniel’s time is gonna come just around the corner. He’s certainly got the songs, the sound, and the talent to break out big, and nobody deserves it more than Jesse. Hopefully his new album Son of the San Lorenzo out June 6th sparks a fire.
