New Country Songs

Leading the charge this week is Kenny Chesney with the uplifting and road-worn ‘Carry On’, a warm-weather anthem that feels tailor-made for windows-down summer drives and late-night reflection alike.

His first release in two years, it's got us even more excited for his upcoming return to the Sphere in Las Vegas.

Elsewhere, Russell Dickerson links up with Fetty Wap for the genre-bending ‘Boots’, Midland lean all the way into their neon-lit heartbreak lane with ‘Shooting Memories With Tequila’, and Ashley Cooke delivers another dose of emotional honesty on ‘High School Sweetheart’.

Meanwhile, Americana fans are spoiled with standout releases from The Band Loula, Jason Scott & The High Heat, Alicia Blue and Adam Chaffins, while Futurebirds and Susto Stringband keep things hazy, loose and beautifully rootsy.

Watch the Official Lyric Video for 'Carry On' below:

Best New Country Song of the Week

Our Best New Country Song of the Week goes to 49 Winchester’s ‘Oh Savannah’.

Rich with rugged storytelling, worn-in vocals and the kind of emotional weight that lingers long after the final chorus, ‘Oh Savannah’ finds 49 Winchester doing what they do best: turning small-town ache into something cinematic and universal.
