2021 has been a great year for new music.
New Music Friday has delivered the good stuff every week for quite a while now, with recent highlights like albums from Charley Crockett, Billy Strings, Sturgill Simpson, and more in the last couple of months.
With the influx of incredible songs coming out, it can be difficult to keep up with it all.
With that being said, here is a list of 30 tracks from the last few months that everyone should have on their playlists.
“Ada” – Zach Welch
“Look at Miss Ohio”- American Aquarium – Daytrotter Sessions
*The only cover on the list, “Look at Miss Ohio” is a cover of the Gillian Welch classic. Nevertheless, it’s so good it had to be included.
