The Corona crisis keeps me buzy – and thus, it again took me quite a while to have a new edition of my Country Music Picks, songs, which I feel should present on this website explicitly. Here is my early April 2020 edition, mainly featuring songs released in February and March.
Redeye Caravan – El Muerto
After I reviewed the fascinating album Nostrum Remedium by the Greek Dark Country band Redeye Caravan, I really got a focus on the band. They still did not manage to be on Amazon Music and Spotify, but they are releasing more and more videos from that album – El Muerto is definitely worth watching.
Olivia Lane – The Quarantine Song
I just cannot argue against that I have a certain crush on Olivia Lane. Great artist, a very interesting Instagram feed – and her show in Hassocks near Brighton in February was also a great memory. She was one of the first artists in the country music scene releasing a Corona / Quarantine song – a self-cover of her song You Got Me. The ironic about this track: about a week later, Olivia disclosed that she was tested for Covid-19. Get better soon!
Buddy Brown – The Coronavirus Song
Of course, there are numerous Corona virus songs – this one by Buddy Brown made me smile quite a lot. Maybe you need a laugh as well.
Twinnie – Type of Girl
I feel that much with Twinnie – she is definitely not a person to be locked in – especially not in the weeks before her Hollywood Gypsie album release.
Gary Quinn – Tip of My Tongue
Gary Quinn is an amazing British artist. His new single Tip of My Tongue is already part of my Flyctory.com Country Music playlists. I just feel I have to add it here as well. Look forward to see Gary on stage again soon.
Zoee – Nashville
The Australian country artist Zoee, who is residing in the United Kingdom, released the lovely song Nashville. It is not just a nice musical love letter to Music City – the profits run into charity.
Sara Evans – If I Can’t Have You
I did not have this track too much in focus – but Sara Evans again delivers a great song. Superb country music artist.
Luke Bryan – One Margarita
Luke Bryan is also not too far away from his next album release. One Margarita is a typical Luke-party song. We might not have that many occasions to play it in summer 2020 – but the more we should enjoy these moments.
Hot Country Knights – Asphalt
One of the acts I was hoping to see badly during the CMA Fest 2020 is Dierks Bentley’s party music combo. The album The K is Silent to be released on 1st May is definitely promising. Here is one of their pre-released songs, Asphalt.
Tyron Hapi & Jordi Ireland feat. Cassadee Pope – Make You Mine
The last two songs feature two artists with other bands. Cassadee Pope playing together with Tyron Hapi and Jordi Ireland lead to a lovely country song.
Kesha feat. S. Simpson & B. Wilson – Resentment
This collaboration of Kesha and Sturgill Simpson is not that much on the country routes – one of my favorites when I reviewed her album High Road.
