Newest Adds to Saving Country Music’s Top 25 Current Playlist (#55)
If you’re looking for Christmas music with a country flavor, check out the Country and Roots Christmas Releases for 2019 and the accompanying playlist. The Saving Country Music Top 25 Playlist is built to keep you informed on all the best non Christmas songs and albums coming out right here, right now. 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 have just been added.
Newest Additions:
Nick Shoulders – “Rather Low” – This crooning and yodeling New Orleans cat just released a late entry into the “best of 2019” pile called Okay, Crawdad, and this lead off song is the perfect example of what this singing marvel is all about.
The Country Side of Harmonica Sam – “If That’s The Way It’s Gotta Be” – How strange is it that the most authentic-sounding throwback country band of our time is from Sweden, but that’s what you have with this outfit. Everything is perfect on their new album Broken Bottle, Broken Heart to bring you back to the Golden Era of country.
Sara Morgan – “Dirty Hands” – This Arkansas songwriter has been dazzling country fans in-the-know for a while. This is her latest single, and a great example of her ability.
The SteelDrivers – “Bad For You” – The title track of the upcoming February 7th 2020 release from this hard charging bluegrass group that gave birth to Chris Stapleton, “Bad For You” proves they haven’t lost anything, and possibly gained by adding new lead singer Kelvin Damrell. This song drips with country soul.
Elijah Ocean – “Toms River” – One of many great songs from Elijah’s new record Back To The Lander, which is a perfect travel companion and a great offering of modern folk rock-inspired country.

I was shocked to see that Lucas Jagneaux and the Roadshow had less than 1,000 listens on some songs off their album. A seriously underrated group!
December 23, 2019 @ 12:38 pm
The album is underrated. The chart positions for “New School” (-) & “Counting Yellow Lines” (#98 – so far) on the Texas Top 100.
Lucas Jagneaux & The Roadshow…one of my best new acts of the year (together with Jon Stork, Grant Gilbert & australian artists Dani Young & Hayley Marsten).
