Newest Adds to Saving Country Music’s Top 25 Current Playlist (#162)

Hope you like *all caps* COUNTRY music, ’cause it’s coming straight at you hard and heavy in this playlist. And if you don’t, why the hell are you even hanging around these parts anyway?

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:

Cody Jinks – “When You Can’t Remember” – Heads up, because this is a Song of the Year contender from the reining Saving Country Music Song of the Year winner via 2024’s “What You Love.” Cody Jinks continues to show off his keen sense for capturing deep emotions in music, and many are claiming his new album In My Blood is his best in years.

Sierra Ferrell, Nikki Lane – “A Lesson In Leavin’” – The only thing better than Sierra Ferrell and Nikki Lane is these two killer women of independent country together. They first sang this country classic together on the stage at Stagecoach earlier this year. Now they offer a studio version of this song originally recorded by Dottie West and Jo Dee Messina, and it’s everything you want it to be.

Charley Crockett – “All Around Cowboy” – Folks who know about the rodeo know what the “All Around Cowboy” is. It’s not the person who necessarily wins any of the individual competitions, but competes in them all, and shows heart, guts, tenacity and skill. There’s perhaps never been a better premise for one of the hardest working men in country music to build a country song around.

Jesse Lovelock – “Misty Blue” – “Misty Blue” is the first official single from the mysterious Jesse Lovelock who released his killer classic country album a couple of months ago via a private SoundCloud link. Written by Bob Montgomery, this is the first widely-available track from Lovelock. Hopefully the whole album sees the light of day eventually.

Zach Top – “South of Sanity” – Once again Zach Top is caught revitalizing sounds and modes of ’90s country. But unlike his rather saccharine “Good Times & Tan Lines,” “South of Sanity” evokes memories of all those good old rodeo heartbreak songs made famous by George Strait and others. New album Ain’t In It For My Health is out August 29th.

The Onlies – “Spectacle Lake” – For those fans of old-time, it doesn’t get much better than The Onlies. This band started when all the members were still in single digits. That’s how they can be one of the youngest bands in the discipline, yet still be celebrating 20 years together. “Spectacle Lake” is an original from fiddle player Sami Braman, and is released ahead of the band’s new album You Climb The Mountain out September 19th.

Sunny Sweeney – “I Drink Well With Others” and “Houston Belongs To Me” – Killer new honky tonk album called Rhinestone Requiem out from Sunny Sweeney right now. “I Drink Well With Others” is a fun drinking song from the record, and “Houston Belongs To Me” co-written with Brennen Leigh is one of its best heartbreakers.

Jake Worthington – “My Home’s In Oklahoma” – Worthington recently announced his new album When I Write The Song will be out September 12th, and this Western swing-inspired song is a great way to build anticipation for the album, and prove to any doubters just how dedicated Worthington is to reviving the traditions of classic country.
