6 Must-Hear New Country Songs: George Strait, Luke Bryan, Riley Green, Ella Langley & More


This week's crop of new music includes songs from George Strait, Luke Bryan, Ella Langley, Riley Green, Willow Avalon and more.

As his longing propels him, he asks for forgiveness if he decides to “drink up the nerve and show up at your house.” The cracks in his burly voice draw out the nuances in the unexpected twists and turns of the lyrics, while Langley’s languid drawl heightens the tensions of desire that runs throughout the song. Newcomer Avalon turns the premise of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” on its head, answering the classic cheating song with this rowdy mesh of prowling percussion and twangy, roadhouse guitars. A solo write by Jimmy Yeary (“I Drive Your Truck”), this new song offers a clear-eyed look at the result of a love that has endured the trials, unexpected life twists, and mundane moments, all adding up to a solidified bond between two lovers.
