5 Must-Hear New Country Songs: Zach Bryan, Jamey Johnson, Midland & More
This week's crop of new must-hear country songs includes work from Jamey Johnson, Midland and Zach Bryan.
The song depicts attending a service for a fallen comrade, as the preacher gives the eulogy and the serviceman is given a customary 21 gun salute, before Johnson goes directly for heart-crushing truths on the line “ The rifles fire and your life flashes right before my eye s,” adding, “I don’t need no one to tell me you’re a hero/ Hell I’ve known that ever since you were young.” Shaylen wrote this track with Brett Tyler and Lindsay Rimes, pouring out the angst of someone who’s trying to pick up the pieces of a shattered relationship and transition to a new life chapter, only to find her ex keeps showing up at her door. Shaylen’s strong, confident vocal inhabits a punk edge and ripples over polished country-pop construction of careening rock guitar, eruptive percussion and a chorus tailor-made to get audiences chanting along.
