5 Must-Hear New Country Songs: Ella Langley, HARDY, Old Dominion & More


This week's crop of new tunes includes music from Ella Langley, HARDY, Old Dominion and Gavin Adcock.

Elsewhere, newcomer Trey Pendley brings a stone-cold country barroom singalong, while Gavin Adcock’s latest finds him reminiscing about wild nights on the town, and Caroline Jones ponders the impact of romantic bust-ups in rural communities. Written by OD’s Brad Tursi, Trevor Rosen and Matthew Ramsey along with co-writers Ross Copperman and Shane McAnally, this song ponders whether a loved one can separate the man from his music. On his latest, sinewy guitars and a sultry, pop-rock rhythm frame his grizzled voice as he relays a tale of a failed attempt to rekindle a former romantic flame while still burning through his self-described nights of “hard-a– living.” Adcock wrote the song with Luke Laird, Jack Rauton and Erik Dylan, and sounds as though he’s lived every line.
