June might have been the most abundant month for country music releases that I can remember.
I mean, in the first week of June alone, more than 25 country albums were released, and that momentum never really subsided as the month went on. With the sheer volume of album, EP, and single releases over the past few weeks, it’s impossible for us at Whiskey Riff to cover every single song that deserves to be heard upon its release. But in my opinion, that is a great problem to have, and it speaks to the strength of the country music scene today as opposed to a decade ago or so.
So, in an effort to draw attention to some of this music, I’ve compiled a list of 40 new songs released over the last month that we didn’t get to cover in depth at Whiskey Riff, but should all be on your radar as a country music fan. I could probably list close to 100 songs that have been released within the past month that we haven’t covered but are still worth listening to, though for the sake of relative brevity, we’ll keep it at 40.
I’m sure you’ll see some familiar names of established and even legendary acts on this list, but hopefully, in addition to those, you’ll find some new artists to explore their catalog and keep up with, and maybe even throw a few of these songs onto your playlists. There are so just so many underrated and up and coming artists waiting to be discovered on this list and beyond. What a time to be a country music fan.
