8 Must-Hear New Country Songs: Ringo Starr, Kip Moore, Kameron Marlowe, Lily Rose & More

This week's crop of new music includes songs from Ringo Starr, Kip Moore, Kameron Marlowe, Lily Rose, Peter Rowan and Wyatt Ellis.

Now, he mines the rich, stylistically vast realms of country, bluegrass and pop again on his new album Looking Up, which finds Starr teaming with T Bone Burnett and a slate of top-flight musicians including Krauss, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Larkin Poe and Lucius. Marlowe, possessor of a sonorous, grainy vocal style both commanding and soulful, puts that formidable instrument to great effect, as he continues his upward trajectory with this song of a broken-hearted figure intent on numbing his anguish with copious amounts of liquor. The two vocalists translate the emotional push and pull of longing versus denial on lyrics such as “I got half a mind to give you a call/ But I ain’t chasin’ after you,” with the song’s gentle instrumentation empowering their graceful voices.
