Newest Additions:

This week’s newest additions are especially country, particularly twangy, and fiercely traditional, aside from a curve ball by The Bloody Jug Band, which is still a banger.

Shelby Lee Lowe – “You’re Not Gone” – One of three songs Shelby Lee Lowe has just released in an EP called Something in Me, a hardcore honky tonk song about heartbreak was never so fun and enjoyable to listen to.

Alecia Nugent – “Too Bad You’re No Good” – We’re used to artists from other genres “going country” to revitalize their careers later in life. But when it comes to bluegrass great Alecia Nugent, she’s more than welcome in the country genre if she’s releasing songs like “Too Bad You’re No Good.” Originally recorded by Trisha Yearwood, it’s one of numerous excellent cuts off of Nugent’s first album in 11 years, The Old Side of Town.

Royce Johns – “One Last Two Step” – If you’re looking for traditional country that is unwavering to its adherence to the roots of the genre, look no further than Royce Johns, and his latest album from which this title track comes from.

Randall King – “Takin’ It As It Comes” – When naming off who could be the George Strait of the next generation, make sure you don’t forget about ol’ Randall King down in Texas. Now signed to Warner Music Nashville, this is one of two recent standalone singles (the other is “Hey Moon”) that you should have on your radar.

The Bloody Jug Band – “Lac du Flambeau” – Translating to “Lake of Fire,” this song really is the perfect example of why The Bloody Jug Band should not just be regarded as a Halloween band. When it comes to constructing songs, these guys do it better than most, and the guitar on the track is especially tasty.
