It's time for another roundup of this week's biggest new releases from the world of country and Americana, and you can listen to our Holler Best New Country playlist on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon and Apple Music.
We're getting towards the end of 2024, and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here already with fresh holiday hits from Megan Moroney, Mackenzie Carpenter and now Emily Zeck already gracing our Holler office stereo. We we understand that not everyone is feeling fully festive yet though, so we've put all the best new holiday songs in our separate Best New Country Christmas songs playlist for those of you that are. We have treated you to the new Christmas single from Riley Green on this week's Best New Country playlist though.
It's a day of duets on this week's Best New Country and its cover stars are Gavin Adcock and Vincent Mason’s with their duet 'Almost Gone.' The two have been touring together for most of 2024, and their undeniable chemistry and friendship made perfect sense on why they decided to record this song together.
Kane Brown and his wife Katelyn Brown have some undeniable chemistry of their own on the steamy 'Body Talk,' while Randy Houser and Miranda Lambert duet on 'Still That Cowboy' and Jesse Daniel and Benjamin Tod celebrate the great year they've both had by releasing a pair of collaborative singles. The wistful cautionary tale 'Turn the Devil Away' and a cover of Randy Travis and George Jones’ 'A Few Ole Country Boys' will be supported on the road with a slew of tour dates next month in Louisville, Cincinnati, Knoxville and Nashville.
They're not the only ones getting in on the cover versions. Stephen Wilson Jr. officially releases his cover of 'Stand By Me' that’s gone insanely viral over the past few weeks and Kameron Marlowe drops his cover of Cam’s 'Burning House.'
Holler favourite Evan Honer releasing his new single 'lead role,' which will appear on his new EP annabelle, due out in a few weeks. An insightful portrayal of closure following a relationship that follows previous single 'me, without you.'
We've got the title track from Stones, the new EP from Winchester, Virginia, based singer-songwriter Brennan Edwards. The four song EP marks Edwards newest chapter since his 2023 debuts Till the End of My Days and YESHUA.
"Stones is four songs that share the common thread of letting go and moving on," explains Edwards. "Taking your negativity and giving it to God."
Watch Brennen Edwards perform 'Stones' live below.
Red dirt legends Jason Boland & The Stragglershave announced their new album The Last Kings of Babylon, for next March with the first single 'High Time' and a 2025 tour culminating with four sold-out The Boys From Oklahoma Stadium Shows alongside Cross Canadian Ragweed, Turnpike Troubadours, The Great Divide and Stoney LaRue on Friday.
It's a good release day for fans of indie folk and americana too.
Mary Chapin Carpenter, Julie Fowlis and Karine Polwart have announced the release of their new album Looking For The Thread in January with the first single 'Hold Everything.' Written by Karine Polwart, the song gives a nod to the world, as it is, and to John Berger’s beautiful and devastating 2008 book Hold Everything Dear: Dispatches on Survival and Resistance.
North Carolina husband-and-wife duo Sarah and Austin McCombie - AKA Chatham Rabbits - give us another taste of their forthcoming, Be Real with Me, with the lovely 'Collateral Damage' and Wilder Woods, the solo outfit of NEEDTOBREATHE co-founder and frontman Bear Rinehart, releases his new single 'Offering'featuring a stunning duet with singer Anna Graves.
Portland-based alt-country legends The Delines announced their new album, Mr. Luck & Ms. Doom, this week. Along with the announcement, the band shared their lead single, 'Left Hook Like Frazier.'
“‘Left Hook Like Frazier’ is the poppiest side of The Delines,” says Willy Vlautin, songwriter and guitarist for the band. “But inside that is the idea that the broken-hearted are often attracted to those who will break them even more.”
Renowned Southern singer-songwriter Paul Thornannounces his new album Life Is Just A Vapor, and shares the lead single 'Tough Times Don’t Last' and Eli Locke drops the super fun and infectious 'In a Honkytonk.'
Ron Pope releases 'In the Morning With The Coffee On,' the latest taste of his forthcoming American Man, American Music album and Pip Marsh gives us the brilliant 'Married to Gasoline.'
Ramona and the Holy Smokes, a Charlottesville, Virginia-based band, channeling the spirit of classic country through a contemporary lens release their debut EP, Til It's Over. Front woman Ramona Martinez's unconventional path to country music, influenced by George Jones, Patsy Cline, and The Magnetic Fields' Stephin Merritt, informs her storytelling on songs like the EP title track. We think you're gonna like this one.
Elsewhere we've got new ones from Jelly Roll, Kashus Culpepper, The Delines, J.R. Carroll, Vincent Neil Emerson, Kip Moore, Tyler Booth, Derek Austin, Billy Ray Cyrus and lots more.
