Newest Adds to Saving Country Music’s Top 25 Current Playlist (#69)

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 have just been added.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Google Play will soon be fazing out and rolled into YouTube Music. The playlist will continue to be supported on Google Play for the moment, but eventually will be going away along with the service, so please make preparations.

Newest Additions:

Arlo McKinley – “Bag of Pills” – Not every playlist update gets a song that may end up getting nominated for Song of the Year. Many consider Arlo McKinley’s new album Die Midwestern the leader in the clubhouse for Album of the Year. Either way, it all should be on your radar as potentially some of the best music of 2020.

Brennen Leigh – “Don’t You Know I’m From Here” – A song from Brennen Leigh’s upcoming new album Prairie Love Letter out September 18th, the record is inspired and centered around the area near the Minnesota and North Dakota border where she grew up. Produced by Robbie Fulks, this is one to keep an eye out for.

Wayd Battle – “Coal County War” – This songwriter and former band member for Jamey Johnson put a hell of a collection of songs together for his new album Powerless, and “Coal Country War” is a great example of his quality writing and road-worn vocals that make for some great country music.

Josh Turner (ft. Allison Moorer) – “Alone and Forsaken” – You have to be pretty brave to cover a Hank Williams song like this. But like Josh Turner proves over and over on his new country classics album Country State of Mind, he can take monster songs and make them all his own with his one-in-a-million voice and true country approach.

Mo Pitney – “Mattress on the Floor” – Superbly-written song that young couples can relate to, and older couples can reminisce upon, it’s the perfect illustration of the most important aspect of love. Off Pitney’s new album Ain’t Lookin’ Back.
