Zephaniah Ohora is quickly revealing himself as one of the greatest country music discoveries in 2017, and so there’s no better place for him at the moment than leading a collection of the Top 25 Current Songs for Saving Country Music’s official Spotify playlist.

As we near the halfway mark for the year, it’s time to start assessing who is setting the pace in songwriting in country music, and one such name is Texas country songwriter John Baumann, whose song “Old Stone Church” was named with six other songs as Saving Country Music’s Best Songs of 2017 So Far. The song also makes the most recent update to the Spotify playlist, as does The Brother Brothers‘ “Cairo, IL,” which comes from their Tugboats EP featured in SCM’s Best Albums So Far list.

Another addition is Canadian honky tonker Kayla Luky‘s song “Bottom of a Bottle” off of her 2017 release, Back to Dirt. The playlist can be streamed below, and for those who don’t do the Spotify thing, feel free to check out a list of the Top 25 songs from the artists and albums that should be considered Saving Country Music’s top current recommendations.
