From January all the way through December, country music artists delivered all year long, and as a whole, they never seemed to take their foot off the gas. Even as the holidays rolled around.<\/p>\n<p>In just the past few weeks, there have been so many amazing album and single releases, and it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>So, in an effort to draw attention to some of this music, I\u2019ve compiled a list of 30 new songs released over the last month that we didn\u2019t 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\u2019t covered but are still worth listening to, though for the sake of relative brevity, we\u2019ll keep it at 30.<\/p>\n<p>And hopefully in addition to finding a handful of songs to throw on your playlist or keep in rotation, you\u2019ll find a few new artists to explore their catalog, keep up with, and see live as well, because there are so many underrated and up and coming artists waiting to be discovered that are included in this list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAlready Gone\u201d \u2013 Wells Ferrari ft.
