Newest Additions to Saving Country Music’s Top 25 Current Playlist (#24)

Freshly provisioned for your summer road trip, the Saving Country Music Top 25 Playlist has been reinforced with some doozies of modern country greatness. Leading the charge is the staunchly traditional singer and songwriter Shane Owens, with the lead track off of his recently-released EP It’s a Southern Thing. Called “Love to Try Them On,” the song is not as braggadocios as it may seem at first, it’s the perfect update to George Jones’s “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes?”

Next on the list comes Cliff Westfall from Kentucky via Brooklyn, whose brand new album Baby You Win is setting hair on fire. It’s hard to go through and select just one track from the record, but the twangy jam at the end of “Off The Wagon” is just too damn good not to include.

Where would country music be without its roots? And two artists that help embody the roots as much as any are Canadian folk country artist Colter Wall, and baptist preacher Frank Newsome. Frank’s new album Gone Away With A Friend is like an entire album of Ralph Stanley’s ‘O’Death,” only better if you can believe it, and his song “When I Heard” makes the latest playlist update. Colter Wall is prepping a new record for perhaps this fall, and to coincide with the actual event in Alberta, he’s released the song “Calgary Round-Up” originally performed by Wilf Carter.

The Saving Country Music Top 25 Playlist primarily lives on Spotify, but is also available for those who use Google Playand on Apple Music thanks to Country Exclusive. For those who don’t stream, you can still find the song recommendations in list form below.
