April was a strong month for country music.
I mean, just in the past few weeks there were new albums from Turnpike Troubadours, Muscadine Bloodline, Willie Nelson… The list goes on and on. So many other amazing artists have released incredible singles and projects over the past month, that this doesn’t even begin to cover it all.
With that said, it’d be impossible to cover every single song that deserves to be heard upon its release. But in my opinion, that is a great problem to have, and it speaks to the strength of the country music scene today as opposed to a decade ago or so.
So, in an effort to draw attention to some of this music, I’ve compiled a list of 30 new songs released over the month of April that we didn’t get to cover in depth at Whiskey Riff, but should all be on your radar as a country music fan. I could probably list close to 100 songs that have been released within the past month that we haven’t covered but are still worth listening to, though for the sake of relative brevity, we’ll keep it at 30.
And hopefully in addition to finding a handful of songs to throw on your playlist or keep in rotation, you’ll find a few new artists to explore their catalog, keep up with, and see live as well, because there are so many underrated and up and coming artists waiting to be discovered that are included in this list.
