As Uncle Ned prepares to blow his hand off with a concoction of semi-illegal fireworks, get yourself prepared for the extended 4th of July weekend by listening to Saving Country Music’s top recommended songs via the official Spotify playlist. A repository for the top recommended songs, albums, and artists at any given time, it’s a good way to make sure you’re not missing out on the best stuff coming down the pike.

Not many are creating more buzz and anticipation for themselves in independent country music at the moment than Tyler Childers, and the first official single release from his upcoming record Purgatory does not disappoint. Only right it would lead off the updated version of the playlist. The salty “Bang Bang” from Canadian Sarah Jane Scouten also enters the list at the top, because hey, what’s a 4th celebration without a little pyrotechnics?

Also added to the list is a couple of wild cards, including Country Side of Harmonica Sam‘s “Tears Don’t Stain.” Harmonica Sam may be from Sweden, but when he’s singing country music, it sounds like he was born Stateside and has sworn allegiance to Uncle Sam. “Fleshy Hands” from the punkish country outfit Skunk Ruckus proves there’s still great music coming out of the underground if you know where to dig.

Also, Chris Stapleton‘s selection on the playlist has been updated to his current radio single “Broken Halos.” Hopefully, unlike his first single “Either Way,” it doesn’t falter on the radio charts, and folks who aren’t choosing to spend their 4th of July weekend soaking in the sweet tones of Saving Country Music’s Top 25 Current Playlist are exposed to good music.

And if you don’t do the Spotify thing, you can always find a list of the songs, albums, and artists below to venture further in discovering some new music via SCM’s top current recommendations.
