\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\tJosh Weathers, Neon Never Fades<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tJosh Weathers starts off 2026 with a solid barrel of \u201990s country-inspired tunes with his project Neon Never Fades<\/em>, signaling that the resurgence in \u201990s country sounds is far from over. His nimble voice weaves through songs that pull from hardcore honky-tonk (\u201cLivin\u2019 the Life\u201d), soulful country-rock hybrids (\u201cUp at Night,\u201d \u201cLife Still Happens\u201d) and the pensive ballad \u201cNever Died From It.\u201d Working with writers including Bobby Pinson and Brett Sheroky, and smart production from Dan Friszell, Weathers sings of carefree, youthful nights, love, loss and lessons learned along the way. Some of his previous music has been steeped in soul, blues and pop, but his new album cements Weathers as a new country voice worth listening to this year.<\/p>\n\n\tAbbey Cone, \u201cChange the Man\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tA honeyed fiddle intro launches this straight-to-the-point anthem that melds a swirl of barroom country, pedal steel, guitar and piano with Cone\u2019s silvery vocal and sage relationship advice. \u201cIf he\u2019s givin\u2019 you the minimum\/ Just get rid of him,\u201d Cone sings, washing her unabashedly country vocal over a pull-no-punches message. Cone co-wrote the song with Madison Kozak, with production from Jack Schneider and Matt Andrews.<\/p>\n
\n\tParker Graye, \u201cWhen Do We Stop Talking\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tGraye offers this polished, dreamy country-pop ballad that finds the singer-songwriter chronicling the rise and fall of a relationship coming apart. As it unravels, she\u2019s left wondering how to finally break the habit of reaching out and talking, and when to fully let go. Graye\u2019s dulcet tones are a stellar match for this song\u2019s gorgeous melody. The song was written by Graye with Olivia DaPonte and Averie Bielski.<\/p>\n
\n\tKatlin Owen, \u201cJust a Hat\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tSouth Carolina native Owen, a producer\/guitarist and vocalist known for his session work with artists including Brian Kelley, Jon Pardi, Riley Green, Chase Rice and Mickey Guyton, proves he possesses a vocal charisma of his own that\u2019s worth putting in the spotlight. His latest release blends polished production, crisp guitar and bright piano, as he issues a perspective that cowboy culture goes far beyond simply donning cowboy aesthetics. \u201cI\u2019m gonna be breaking my back working overtime\/ Putting food there on the table,\u201d he sings, as he etches a scene of familial dedication, work ethic, integrity and love that goes into every handshake and every word kept. Owen wrote this track with Mandi Sagal.<\/p>\n
\n\tTrevor Martin, \u201cNo Matter What\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tKentucky native Martin is known for his romantic, uplifting tracks such as \u201cKeeper\u201d and \u201cThis Much.\u201d He continues in that vein on his latest song, baring his earnest dedication and determination to be there for his loved one regardless of the highs and lows they embrace and endure. \u201cYou can\u2019t pick and choose when life throws its punches\/ But you can choose who you\u2019re gonna face them all with,\u201d he sings. A smooth, radio-friendly track written by Martin with Jonathan Gamble and Brian Bunn, this song again places Martin as a consistent wellspring of songs marked by tenderness and amorous charm.<\/p>\n
