6 Must-Hear New Country Songs: Carly Pearce, Kaitlin Butts, Vince Gill, Angie K & More


This week's Must-Hear column features music from Carly Pearce, Angie K, Kaitlin Butts, and Matt Stell.

This week’s crop of new country tunes includes the latest album from Kentucky native Carly Pearce — who stunned with her performance at Sunday’s (June 9) Nissan Stadium show during CMA Fest — as well as new songs from Matt Stell, Andrea Vasquez, Angie K, Muscadine Bloodline and a collaboration from Kaitlin Butts and Country Music Hall of Famer Vince Gill. The 13-song project is filled with revenge anthems and meticulously constructed kiss-offs (the raging “Truck on Fire,” “Heels Over Head”), as well as songs that depict the stages of a decaying relationship on tracks — including the Chris Stapleton collab “We Don’t Fight Anymore,” “Fault Line” and the cleverly written, fiddle-driven barn burner “Rock Paper Scissors,” which will hopefully be a single at some point. This independent duo, made of Gary Stanton and Charlie Muncaster, has been steadily building its audience for nearly a decade, and continues evolving and accelerating its craft.
