\n\tCheck out all of these and more in\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u2018s roundup of some of the best country, bluegrass and\/or Americana songs of the week below.<\/p>\n\n\tLuke Combs, \u201c15 Minutes\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tThis ballad from Combs\u2019s The Prequel <\/em>EP takes a surprising turn, starting out to seem like a typical musician-on-the-road, calling home to his family type of song. But quickly, as he sings of cinder block rooms, orange jumpsuits and a line of people waiting to use the phone, it\u2019s clear this is from the perspective of someone serving time and using his 15 minutes of call time to focus on his family\u2019s life outside of the prison walls. \u201cI\u2019m just tryin\u2019 to make the best of the rest of this life sentence,\u201d he sings. In the process, Combs\u2019 burnished, gravelly voice lends further gravitas to the song\u2019s sentiments, making it one of this stadium headliner\u2019s strongest songs to date.<\/p>\n\n\tCarter Faith, Cherry Valley<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tAcross the 15 tracks on her debut full-length album Cherry Valley<\/em>, Faith distills a kaleidoscope of small-town vignettes, colorful characters and raw emotions. She wraps her smoky voice around lyrics of jealousy on the barn burner \u201cBetty,\u201d sinks into pedal steel-soaked defiance on \u201cBurn My Memory\u201d and over lush stringwork, pleads longingly with a lover for a few more fleeting moments together before the relationship fades into ex-lover territory (\u201cChanged\u201d). Whether the vibe is slinky and sultry or tender, the entire project feels like an instant classic, melding retro production and instrumentation with Faith\u2019s singular perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\tRed Clay Strays, \u201cPeople Hatin’\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tThe Red Clay Strays wraps its signature captivating searing rock style around a message that distills a sense of frustration over the current anger-filled culture, one in which the band sees \u201ceverybody goin\u2019 crazy\/ Every time they go and disagree.\u201d Lead singer Brandon Coleman, as usual, puts forth a commanding, soulful vocal that encapsulates the lyric\u2019s seething exasperation and longing for less division. Coleman wrote the song with Andrew Bishop, Dave Cobb,\u00a0Matthew Coleman, John Hall and Zach Rishel.<\/p>\n
\n\tOle 60, \u201cSmokestack Town\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tOle 60 follows the group\u2019s breakthrough hit \u201csmoke & a light\u201d with its debut album, a project soaked in unvarnished rock edges and vivid storytelling. The project\u2019s title track details a return to hometown roots after a lengthy time away, and taking comfort that the small town \u201cain\u2019t really ever changed\/ Since my parents\u2019 parents gave \u2019em names.\u201d The hard-driving percussion and grounded, heartland rock vibe give this song a timeless feel, with a well-worn grit sure to connect with any listener that\u2019s been away from home a little too long.<\/p>\n
\n\tCaroline Jones, \u201cAll the Things\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tOn her latest, singer-songwriter and Zac Brown Band member Jones sings about broadening the concept of what success can look like and uses the song to praise her partner for being a steady support and champion. She starts out this uptempo, sunny track by recalling the grind of her early days working \u201cOut here against the suits and bricks\/ Where the messages and the drinks are mixed.\u201d From there, she celebrates the balance she and her partner have found in career and family, saying, \u201cWith you I can do all the things.\u201d<\/p>\n
