Best New Country Songs

It's been another whirlwind week in country music this week. Morgan Wallen has kicked off his I'm The Problem tour, bringing out Drake for the walkout, just to remind everyone out there that he's not the only one who is a problem, Megan Moroney has announced that her next album is already written and Taylor Swift and Kane Brown surprised fans at Travis Kelce’s Tight End University concert with an impromptu 'Shake It Off.'

We've barely got time before a full weekend of Zach Bryan begins here in London, but don't worry, we'll always make time for our weekly Holler round up of all the biggest and best new releases from the world of country and Americana.

This week, we've got new songs from Ashley McBryde, Cole Swindell, Maoli, Parker McCollum and lots more for you. Listen along to our Holler Best New Country playlist on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon and Apple Music.

This week's Best New Country cover star is Ella Langley. She surprised fans this week when she confirmed the release date for her latest viral song as this Friday. But thank God we didn't have to wait much longer.

Co-written with Jordan Schmidt and Hardy, you can hear the 'wait in the truck' singer's influence all over the new song as 'Never Met Anyone Like You' flips from a cutesy country toe tapper about finding someone who's perfect for you to a dashboard pounding emo-country break up anthem when that one and only turns out to be the one that got away.

“Darlin’, you're on in a million / God couldn't do it again if He tried to," she sings to the lucky object of her affections. "I've never met anyone like you."

As Ella steps tentatively into her next era, with the follow up to still hungover hopefully on its way, it seems like she's going to have a few surprises for us.

It seems like everyone is putting a single out today ahead of 4th of July next weekend because Best New Country is jam packed today with new songs from Old Dominion, Gavin Adcock, Cody Jinks and lots more in our playlist today.

It's a big day for collabs. BigXthaPlug and Shaboozey tag team on 'Home,' Diplo and Bailey Zimmerman are partnering up on 'Ashes' as Bailey continues to tease his upcoming Different Night Same Rodeo album, Scotty McCreery and Charlie Wilson are telling a tale as old as time that begins 'Once Upon a Bottle of Wine' and Colbie Caillat and Ryan Hurd just 'Can't Say No.'

After seriously impressing us all with the speed she can tie a cherry stem into a knot with her tongue, Carter Faith takes us back to the Golden Age of country with her brilliant new single, 'Sex, Drugs, and Country Music' as she pays tribute to Waylon and willy and all the little things that get her through the day.

Having recently co-hosted CMA Fest at Nissan Stadium for the second year with an electrifying live performance, Ashley McBryde releases her first new solo material of 2025 in explosive style with 'Rattlesnake Preacher,' a pounding, country rock floor stomper that's been a staple in her live show since the bar days.

"We’ve constantly been asked by fans when it’ll make it onto a record,” shares McBryde. “As we were gearing up for my second year of co-hosting CMA Fest, it felt like the perfect time to finally get this one out there. It’s my way of saying thank you to the fans who have shown up, listened and gave this song life long before it was ever recorded.”

The forthcoming track also holds personal significance for McBryde. Written by her late friend and collaborator Randall Clay, the release of 'Rattlesnake Preacher' also honours his legacy.

“I’ve written nearly every song on all my records, so when I cut one I didn’t write, it means something,” shares McBryde. “Randall was part of a group of songwriters that helped me write some of the most formative songs of my career, and his songs will always find a home with me to continue his legacy.”

Our Holler 10 Artists You Need To Know from this month keep the new music coming with a new song from Chicago-based outfit Case Oats taken from their brilliant forthcoming album, Last Missouri Exit, and for anyone who can never remember where they left their car keys but can't sleep at night because they just can't get their ex off their mind, Maddie Lenhart releases the darkly comic 'I Can’t Remember Anything.' Plus, Blake Whiten is 'Made for Goodbye' and MAYCE is hoping a dim-witted lover can 'Read the Room' as she completes her Halfway to Healed EP.

On 'The Way We Were' Just Jayne take a trip down memory lane to reflect on an old flame after seeing them move on, Jessie Murph continues to tease her forthcoming Sex Hysteria album ahead of its release on 18 July with 'Heroin' and Niko Moon has announced his new album, AMERICAN PALM, for the same day with 'KING OF THE ISLAND.'

“Ever wish you could sail away to a tropical destination and take a permanent vacation? That’s what ‘KING OF THE ISLAND’ is all about, trading in that 9-5 for a margarita and a banana leaf crown," says Moon. "I also wrote it with the real king of the island, my dad!”

Elsewhere we've got hot new songs from Jenna Davis, Ashley Kutcher, Low Gap and Zandi Holup. While Evan Honer is trying to 'Finally Commit,' McCoy Moore is 'Naming Boats' and Naomi Johnson invites us to 'Come Take a Walk.'

“Come Take A Walk is an invitation to step into my shoes for a day and see all of the places and people that have made me who I am today," she shares about the song. "You never really know someone until you’ve seen where they’re from.”

Brit country superstar Gareth releases his new single, 'Born Yesterday,' and having written hits for Dua Lipa, Martin Garrix and Rita Ora among others, UK songwriter Georgia Ku is hoping she can emulate Gareth's success by turning the spotlight on herself with her debut country project, 'All Or Nothing.'

“All or Nothing” is like a diary entry of the past few years," Ku shares. "I really wanted to put these feelings into words, and that’s exactly what we did. I’ve always listened to and been inspired by the folk and country sound, and I'm excited that for the first time in my career, I get to write and release the music that's authentic to me. Written and recorded in Nashville, this is the first single of my upcoming country record."

It's a monster week for new albums this week with new long players from Cole Swindell, Maoli, Jenna Davis, Rob Williford and Parker McCollum. Lily Fitts releases her debut full-length, Getting By, and we've got the sublime title track in our playlist for you today.

Willi Carlisle follows up last year's Critterland, with his fourth studio album, Winged Victory, as returns with his signature blend of traditionally rooted folk music and kaleidoscope of oddball characters to confer with his core tenets in even more overt and provocative ways. It's the next chapter in his long-running direct address to the hope that by understanding our collective suffering we might be free of it. He’s intent on creating art and a well-rounded life in a broken world.

Though occasionally raunchy, and routinely provocative, Winged Victory is not afraid to make a spectacle for the sake of a point. Victory should be understood as a reflection. It revels in the beauty of tiny, monetarily worthless moments and things, offering with them a consideration of our innate humanity.

Beloved Texas cowpunkers Vandoliers know how to throw a party and they're having a joint release day celebration with Joshua Ray Walker and Taylor Hunnicutt on 'You Can't Party With The Lights On,' taken from their amazing new album, Life Behind Bars, which comes out today. The song comes with a suitably party appropriate video as the band poke fun at the country music machine, gathering around a conference table as a music exec tells the band they are "Too punk! Too much! Too loud!" Their solution? Throw a honky-tonk rager, Nashville-style, at Dee's Cocktail Lounge.

Watch the video for 'You Can't Party With the Lights On (feat. Joshua Ray Walker & Taylor Hunnicutt)' below.

Charley Crockett, The Rolling Stones, Shannon McNally, Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle are just a few of the artists paying A Tribute to the King of Zydeco, Clifton Chenier on what would have been his 100th birthday.

“Clifton Chenier was an international ambassador, introducing the world to Zydeco,” say the album’s producers, GRAMMY Award-winning producer and member of Los Lobos, Steve Berlin and Joel Savoy. “While he has been honored with many awards, his real impact is found in the lives and style of musicians from southwest Louisiana and beyond.”

Plus, we've got new EPs from Logan Mize, Grant Gilbert and Eli Tabor releases his debut EP, Just Me, as the twenty-year-old East Tennessee shares just a few of the hundreds of songs he's been writing.

“I started writing just over a year ago and couldn't stop," shares Tabor. “I wrote all of these songs on my back porch after work and I have about another 120 or so that are unreleased. 'No Honky Tonk Left In Town' is one I wrote about an experience my buddy and I had when we went to a bar in Chattanooga. It's a fun up-tempo track that I think will resonate with a lot of today's listeners, and it also shows my love for traditional country music. I hope anyone who gives this project a chance will gain insight on the kind of person I am and how I was raised."

We told you it was a big week for new music! We haven't even started on these seven lost Bruce Springsteen albums.

Each week we like to shine our magical Holler spotlight on a song that we think deserves a little extra light on it and this week it's the turn of Trey Pendley with his brilliant new single 'Drunk as Any Rich Man,' his first since being added to Leo33’s esteemed artist roster.

A singer-songwriter whose music captures the emotional grit and quiet strength of rural life, Pendley was raised in the tiny town of Toad Suck, Arkansas - a place with no stoplights and a population under 300 - where he found the inspiration for his songs in the simplicity and depth of his surroundings. With no internet at home, his world revolved around cassette tapes, vinyl records, and an old guitar passed down from his grandfather, on which he taught himself songs by Merle Haggard, George Jones, and Motley Crüe.

His breakout track, 'Daddy’s Son,' went viral for its heartfelt tribute to fatherhood, resonating with millions online and introducing his powerful storytelling to a wider audience. Now based just outside of Nashville, Tennessee, Pendley lives with his family on a stretch of land that mirrors the wide-open themes of his songs.

Delivered with his old timey, woodbine and whiskey twang, 'Drunk as Any Rich Man' is a sweet paean to a simpler life and a nod to the Golden Age of country with a softly sighing pedal steel and a rattling mandolin sitting in to accompany him.

"I’ve seen people chase success their whole lives, whether it’s because they want more or they need more, it never ends," he says about the song. "I’d rather be broke and happy, living a full life with the people I love. And the truth is, it doesn’t take much to have a good time."

We'll raise a toast to that.
