Happy New Music Friday, country fans! This week brings some major heat with standout collaborations, fresh anthems, and Koe Wetzel’s latest album drop. Let’s break it all down!
NEEDTOBREATHE and Tori Kelly deliver soulful harmonies on “I’ve Got A Story,” a heartfelt track that proves this pairing was meant to be. Zach Top and Billy Strings reimagine a classic with “Don’t Cheat In Our Home Town,” bringing their signature bluegrass fire. Charles Wesley Godwin and ERNEST team up on “Dead To Rights”, offering up a gritty, outlaw-country moment that hits just right. Dani Rose and Brent Cobb shine with “I Ain’t Livin”, a song packed with raw emotion and expert storytelling.
Sam Williams steps into the spotlight with “COUNTRYSTAR,” a track that blends classic country roots with modern edge. Lily Rose is as confident as ever on “I Know What I Want,” and trust us, you’ll want this one on repeat. Brian Kelley takes us straight to the beach with “Oceanaire,” while Kip Moore gets introspective on “Solitary Tracks,” a perfect soundtrack for late-night drives.
And now, for the rowdy, unfiltered energy we all needed — Koe Wetzel’s Live From the Damn Near Normal Tour is finally here! This live album captures the pure chaos and electricity of a Koe show, proving once again why he’s a force to be reckoned with in country music. If you weren’t at the tour, this release will make you feel like you were front row.
Also making waves this week are Austin Snell’s rock-infused “Heavy Metal,” Redferrin’s moody “Some City, Somewhere”, and Trace Adkins’ powerhouse moment on “What Color’s Your Wild.” Midland’s “Drinkin’ Problem (Live from Red Rocks)” is a must-hear—because honestly, a Midland song at Red Rocks just hits different.
