Each week, the team at Countrytown finds the best new country songs to add to our weekly playlist, The Country Drop. Here’s our picks released this week, July 17, 2026.<\/p>\n


\n\t\t\t\tThe Country Drop Playlist<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Another big week of new music is upon us and there\u2019s some amazing tracks this week, led by some killer females, Lily Meola<\/strong> and Abbie Ferris<\/strong>. Labeling anything an album of the year contender is a big call, but we\u2019re going there with Lily. There\u2019s a bit of alt-country, some more traditional fare and even a throwback to the 90s. Dig in and discover your new favourite country tune. <\/p>\n

Lily Meola – Sleeping With My Boots On<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lily Meola<\/strong> is incredible, full stop. Her album Lucky To Be<\/em> is out today and I would list the best tunes to wrap yourself around, but simple the entire album is brilliant from beginning to end and is a condender for my country record of the year so far. I caught her live set at CMA Fest and it was everything I\u2019d hoped for after vibing to a pre-release of the album. In a world of Ella-fever, Sleeping With My Boots On<\/em> should be on every playlist in the country. A protege of Willie Nelson<\/strong> (and with the man himself dueting on an album track), just wrap your ears around this album now. And come on label, where\u2019s the vinyl pressing? We need this now. <\/p>\n
