The end of 2021 is in sight, and thankfully, it has been a whole lot better than 2020 was.
Now that bands are able to tour again, more albums and singles have been released, making this year a great one for new music. If you’re not keeping up with what is coming out weekly, then it is easy to fall behind and miss out on some great stuff.
The easeist way to stay ahead of the game to is to follow the Whiskey Riff New Music Friday Playlist… available on Spotify and Apple music, it’s updated every Friday with brand new country tunes.
But if you’re already behind, hopefully this list helps out with that.
Since the last list, we have gotten incredible new albums from Charles Wesley Godwin, Cody Jinks, and Hayes Carll, among tons of other EP’s and singles that everyone should be listening to.
Here are 30 of my favorites from the last couple of months.
