Newest Additions:

Matt Daniel – “Weatherman” – This Texas songwriter is definitely one to check out and get on your radar. Matt Daniel is a great blend of good songwriting and a honky tonk sound. The swaying “Weatherman” is a killer heartbreak song about falling into becoming a fair weather lover. Off Daniel’s debut album All I’ll Ever Need.

The Slocan Ramblers – “You Said Goodbye” – A great fast little bluegrass number with a country heartbreak heart, “You Said Goodbye” is off The Slocan Rambler’s new album Up The Hill and Through The Fog. Yet another young up-and-coming band giving us a lot to look forward to in the future of bluegrass.

Arlo McKinley w/ Logan Halstead – “Back Home” – Wow, what an epic song this is, featuring one of the mainstays of the Appalachian songwriters in Arlo McKinley, and one of the fastest up-and-comers in Logan Halstead. Off Arlo’s upcoming album This Mess We’re In out July 15th.

Stacy Antonel – “Always The Outsider” – Antonel’s spot on the playlist is freshened with the title track off her just-released jazz-infused album that gives you vibes of Western Swing and smart country. About never feeling like you fit in just right anywhere, this song fits perfectly on the Top 25 playlist.

Brent Cobb – “Wild & Blue” – A great early hit of John Anderson’s written by John Scott Sherrill, it made it all the way to #1 in 1982. The Steel Woods also recorded in in 2017. Brent Cobb puts that sweet and sweaty Georgia spit polish on it for the upcoming John Anderson tribute, Something Borrowed, Something New: A Tribute to John Anderson out August 5th.

Sunny Sweeney w/ Paul Cauthen – “A Song Can’t Fix Everything” – “I was stepping into the elevator at my hotel as we were leaving Chicago after a great run, and this title popped into my head,” Sweeney says about the song that she co-wrote with Lori McKenna. “It’s about just trying to find those three minutes of happiness you get relating to something and taking yourself out of your everyday life. Letting yourself slip away, it can feel like it’s going to be okay, even if, ultimately, it may not be.” Off Sweeney’s upcoming album Married Alone out September 23rd.
