News 17 Comments


Don’t get caught spinning some pop country swill at your summer soiree. There’s excellent, actual country music still out there being made, you just have to seek it out. This playlist is a place to start.

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:


Chasen Wayne – “Easy To Find” – On Chasen Wayne’s new concept album with Austin’s Honky Tonk Machine called Corpus, he includes this super twangy honky tonk scorcher that’s one hell of a good time to listen to.

Tami Neilson – “Heartbreak City, USA” – Part tribute, part true story, part kiss off, Tami delves into the complex nature of the Capital of Country Music in this song that if not else is a great forum for some killer guitar work. It’s one of the multiple gems on Tami’s new album, Neon Cowgirl.

Tami Neilson – “Foolish Heart” – This Countrypolitan masterpiece by Tami Neilson is the perfect launching pad for her incredible, powerhouse voice. Few if anyone can draw as much emotion to the surface in a song as Tami.

Cody Christian – “Modern Railways” – We first doted on Cody Christian after the release of his strongly Applachian 2022 debut album Canary in a Coal Mine. This song is a great example of bringing classic verbiage to a modern song in a way that gives a time dimension to a story. And hey, you rarely can go wrong with a train song.

Randall King – “I Keep Your Memory Around” – Randall King has been on a tear lately with his last two singles, now earning himself two slots on the Top 25 playlist. This one is a bit more sentimental, creating a excellent showcase for King’s excellent, industry-leading country music voice.

Kyle Gates – “A Memory Lost Somewhere” – If you’re a fan of throwback traditional country, Kyle Gates is definitely one to get on your radar, and “A Memory Lost Somewhere” is a good example why. The self-written tune was produced by Tommy Detamore, known for working with Jesse Daniel and others. Gates actually has a newer single out too called “All I Can Do,” but this one was too good not to feature first.

Myron Elkins – “Giving Up and Giving In” – The voice of Myron Elkins feel like an 8th Wonder of the World, and he puts it to good use on his new album Nostalgia For Sale. There’s a bit more soul on the album compared to his debut, but “I Keep Your Memory Around” still gives off those inviting Southern rock vibes.
