No matter where you turn, new strong country songs, and very promising artists are emerging, so much so simply keeping up with them is a challenge. <\/p><p>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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Newest Additions:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><br\/>Kimmi Bitter \u2013 \u201cLove Me or Leave Me\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 Kimmi Bitter is a national treasure, whether the nation knows it yet or not. Many performers can sing good and get your toe tapping. Few if any can so consistently make chills run up and down your spine with their incredible interpretation of classic country like Kimmi Bitter can. Hopefully \u201cLove Me or Leave Me\u201d is the first taste from a new album on the way. <\/p><p><strong>Walker Montgomery \u2013 \u201cI Don\u2019t Think I Will<\/strong>\u201d \u2013 Walker just continues to impress with one single after another. The son of John Michael Montgomery has the voice and the instincts to fill the shoes slowly being vacated by all those old traditional country greats. The only thing he\u2019s lacking at this point is a debut LP. <\/p><p><strong>Joe Abbott, Cat Clyde \u2013 \u201cYou\u2019ll Never Know My Heart\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 This is a super fun little song that throws it back to the time when country and jazz were close cousins, complimented by a great appearance by Cat Clyde. Reminds you a lot of vintage Wayne \u201cThe Train\u201d Hancock. <\/p><p><strong>Tyler Richards \u2013 \u201cThe Sad Inside\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Get Tyler Richards on your radar now as he threatens to be one of the next big names to emerge out of the Austin music scene. His music comes with a country sound, but a strong songwriting component usually reserved for the Americana set. His EP <em>Unwind<\/em> is out now. <\/p><p><strong>Alex Amen \u2013 \u201cCalifornia Blues\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Alex Amen has an uncanny knack for evoking era through his music. He proves it again with this tune from his upcoming country folk album <em>Son of Amen<\/em> out June 12th. This song reminds you of the best of \u201960\u2019s folk-inspired country, with the steel guitar really setting it off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Grace Maher \u2013 \u201cMake It Uneasy\u201d \u2013<\/strong> There are so many great women making great classically-inspired country songs at the moment, it\u2019s hard to keep up. Originally from Kansas and now living in Nashville, Maher distinguishes herself from the crowd with the spine-tingling moments of \u201cMake It Uneasy.\u201d <\/p><p><strong>Valley Flower \u2013 \u201cLost and Lonesome Ways\u201d \u2013<\/strong> The playlist is always better with a little bit of bluegrass. Austin\u2019s new favorite bluegrass band Valley Flower doesn\u2019t offer a little bluegrass with their new single, but a big heaping helping of it served up hot. Hold on tight and enjoy the singing and songwriting of leader Rose Lichenfels. <br\/><strong><br\/>Don Williams \u2013 \u201cI\u2019m The One\u201d (Original Version)<\/strong> \u2013 Don Williams has graced us from beyond with the release of his <em>Epilogue: The Basement Tapes<\/em>, bringing to life previously-unheard recordings. We might argue back and forth about whether this version or the alternate also on the album is best. But nobody\u2019s complaining we\u2019re getting to hear new-to-us tunes from The Gentle Giant himself. <\/p><p><strong>Coleman Jennings \u2013 \u201cGood While It Lasted\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 Some are calling Coleman Jennings\u2019 new Western-inspired album <em>Lead You Home<\/em> one of the best of the year so far. His vocal delivery is definitely an acquired taste, but on tracks like \u201cJamie\u201d and \u201cGood While It Lasted,\u201d he finds a more universal appeal. <\/p><p><strong>Kaitlin Butts \u2013 \u201cNever Really Mine\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cNever Really Mine\u201d is a pure, traditional country song with steel guitar, a waltz beat built from brushes on snare, and super country writing from Kaitlin Butts at her \u201cdouble cross me and die\u201d best. It\u2019s also such an excellent showcase for Kaitlin\u2019s voice, especially her strong top range, which she exploits so expertly in the song. <\/p><p>\u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Saving Country Music Top 25 Playlist primarily lives on Spotify, but is also available for those who use\u00a0<strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/music.amazon.com\/user-playlists\/c790eada8f45417a87643e463057eb0asune?ref=dm_sh_db2c-7ba7-dmcp-7b88-64aba&amp;musicTerritory=US&amp;marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon Music<\/a><\/strong>,<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL2RbfYQWO8W80mskXtmhFQ8yq-eM7JNxj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>\u00a0YouTube<\/strong><\/a><strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/playlist\/saving-country-musics-top-25-current-playlist\/pl.u-zPyLlJgsZrJX308\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple Music<\/a><\/strong>.
