6 Must-Hear New Country Songs: Jelly Roll, Alexandra Kay, Denitia, Joe Nichols & More


This week's new crop of country music includes songs from Jelly Roll and Alexandra Kay, as well as Joe Nichols, Denitia and more.

Meanwhile, Joe Nichols brings a sunny new tune and Old Dominion’s Brad Tursi offers some top-shelf songwriting on a solo outing and Caylee Hammack teams with Foy Vance for a soulful collaboration. Written by Josh Kear, Dan Isbell and Paul Sykes, with production from Mickey Jack Cones and Derek George, this song doubles down on etching Americana scenes of small-town living, with imagery of children catching fireflies in a backyard, as adults visit with family members, and prepare for dinner filled with chicken and pecan pie. Among the standouts here is the earnest, softly rendered “Church Bells and Train Whistles,” in which Tursi tenderly muses on the craving for the comforts of home, while simultaneously being drawn to the freedoms and wanderlusts of the road.
