Strap yourselves in, country music fans, because due to the fact I didn’t have time to make a playlist in time last week, this week’s playlist – taking in the past fortnight’s releases – is huge and really, truly packed full of great songs.
Highlights include a brand new single from The Pleasures, who are a phenomenal live force and who are playing at Americanafest in Nashville in September; singles from the sublime Small Town Romance, the effervescent Cassidy-Rae, the delightful Billie-Jo Porter, the phenomenal Kelly Brouhaha, the fabulous Josie, outstanding new artist Ruby Shay, el capitano Adam Harvey, powerhouse The Wolfe Brothers, and eternally lovely Tania Kernaghan. Plus there are new albums from Two Tone Pony, Sally-Anne Whitten, Miranda Easten (NZ) and Holly Arrowsmith (NZ). Go forth and listen! Track listing after the Spotify player.
