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.

Newest Additions:

Kat Hasty – “Breaking Up The Band” – Kat’s lack of impulse control is one of the recurring themes in her music. This new one from her upcoming album The Time Of Your Life (5-16) is based on actual events, specifically when she fell for her lead guitar player and Yoko Ono’d her own band. It’s hilarious, ribald, and highly entertaining.

Weldon Henson – “Lost In Time” – The honky tonk prince of Austin’s honky tonks is finally getting ready to release a new album called Stone Cold Country on May 31st. He primes the pump with this ode to old souls and those lost in the modern world, which if you’re a fan of old school country music, probably includes you.

Christopher Seymore – “Doin’ Time” – Christopher Seymore has a super twangy debut album called King of Nothing coming out on May 2nd. “Doin'” Time” is a great specimen of what you can expect.

Stacy Antonel – “Swinging Doors” – The Ginger Cowgirl is best known for her country weepers and bold songwriting. But for her latest batch of songs, she’s taken a surf rock approach to country classics in a super fun project called The Seahorses. This take on the Merle Haggard classic is a hoot.

Johnny Falstaff – “El Camino” – There are a lot of folks out there right now trying to do cool, retro styles of country, bandwagoning on the genre’s popularity. But Johnny Falstaff is the guy who’s been here the whole time. He’s who the hipsters are trying to emulate. He proves this once again on the new song “El Camino.”

Olivia Ellen Lloyd – “You” – Olivia Ellen Lloyd has released a distinctly inspiring album in Do It Myself, full of great writing, and just enough country textures to pull in listeners from beyond Americana. “You” is about one of those chance encounters with someone that your heart finds hard to let go of.

Willi Carlisle – “Work Is Work” – Though the heart of Willi Carlisle’s music is folk, his recorded songs do a great job roping in folks from all the roots disciplines, from country, to Americana to even bluegrass with their sound. “Work Is Work” is a great example of this. Willi’s new album Winged Victory is out June 27th.

Pug Johnson – “Hole In Me” – A lot of folks are raving about Pug’s new album El Cabron of one of the season’s best. Johnson evokes all kinds of different influences on the project, but it’s classic country songs like “Hole In Me” that give off the strongest signal.
