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>\u201cAs It Seems\u201d \u2013 Eli Adams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cBaby Blues\u201d \u2013 James Tucker<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Baby Blues\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f8hYwGYAuao?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u201cBlue Stars\u201d \u2013\u00a0<em>Blue Stars<\/em> \u2013 Vincent Neil Emerson<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Blue Stars\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W2YleuEVphE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u201cCordova Street Blues\u201d \u2013 Jarrod Walker<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cDead Man Walkin&#8217;\u201d \u2013 Waylon Wyatt<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cEverything Keeps Changin&#8217;\u201d \u2013 Railroad Earth ft.
