There has been so much good music coming out lately that it can be hard to keep track of it all.

With new albums over the past couple of months from some of the biggest names in the genre like the Turnpike Troubadours, Jason Isbell, Zach Bryan, and Morgan Wade, among others, and countless singles from other top tier artists, it’s easy to let other new music slip through the cracks a bit.

In the name of keeping up with new music, and giving credit where credit is due to under represented artists who are deserving of more recognition, I’ve composed a list of 30 songs released over the past few months that, for the most part, Whiskey Riff hasn’t covered yet, aside from maybe a quick post, quick mention, or playlist spot.

I mean, it would be impossible to individually cover each spectacular song that is released throughout the course of the year, but we do our best (and still cover more than anyone else in the business).

Checkout the list below for a round up of some of the best music released over the past few months that should be on everyone’s radar. You’re not going to want to miss these:
