As you hit the road for a Thanksgiving trip or hang around with family roasting a turkey, what better time to catch up with the best and latest tunes in country before we all get crushed in the avalanche of Christmas music.
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 just added.
Newest Additions:
Turnpike Troubadours – “Just Like Old Times” – Leave it to the Turnpike Troubadours to take the passing of Todd Snider, and ten days later, turn in a tribute to him to help heal the hole left in our hearts.
Joe Stamm w/ Al Torrence – “I’ll Burn A Candle” – It’s the season of giving, but Joe Stamm continues to hoard some of the best songs released in all of music for himself. How this guy continuously sets the high bar for songs and then bests it himself is remarkable. He’s joined on this track with Charles Wesley Godwin’s bandleader Al Torrence.
Emily Ann Roberts – “Come Home To You” – Excellent country song here from Emily Ann with a killer lyrical hook and haunting steel guitar, taken to 10 by Emily’s soaring voice.
Lance Roark – “Lucky Penny” and “I Could Love You” – Lance just released what might be the best overall listening record of 2025 with his official debut Bad Reputation. Already with a couple of writing credits on Turnpike troubadours albums, Lance rockets up the Red Dirt depth charts with this one.
Mackenzie Rae & Buckshot Moon – “Brand New Day” – This band from Boulder, CO has just released a great little alt-country album called Lonesome and Free that’s full of spirited songs from rock to country to everything in between. This up tempo tune is a great taste of what they’re doing.
Jake Owen – “Fool Like Me” – Jake Owen has folks falling over themselves from his new album Dreams To Dream, produced by Shooter Jennings. About as far away from the country pop of previous efforts, he’s found a distinctly Outlaw country sound, and an excellent song to showcase it through in with “Fool Like Me” written by Kendell Marvel and Waylon Payne.
Drake Milligan – “Cryin’ Shoulder” – Damn if Drake Milligan doesn’t give you Dwight Yoakam vibes during the opening song from his brand new album Tumbleweed. Drake’s got that throwback country style in spades.
49 Winchester – “Changes” – 49 Winchester’s frontman Isaac Gibson could sing the phone book and still make it sound stellar. In this instance, he start’s in the O’s with “Ozzy,” and knocks it out of the park. What started as a tribute has quickly become a fan favorite.
