Flyctory.com Country Music Playlists Log Archive

I felt sad that I every week delete my comments on why I updated the Flyctory.com Country Music Playlists with certain songs. Thus, I decided to archive the comments over the last weeks. Just repeating… But I felt that it is a nice log if you just want to look it up (and finally… If you don’t like it… Just skip that page 🙂 ).

I had to move annual tranches of this log archive to dedicated pages. Here are the sub-pages per calendar year (completed calendar years):

Country Music Playlist Update Log (16th March 2026)

The Country To Country festivals are done for 2026. I completed my coverage from Berlin on Thursday with a sum-up post. The Berlin weekend still influences my playlist adds this week. But there are also quite some other tracks which made my week of country music.

Matches by Lakeview

Lakeview are one of these country music artists, who are very frequently represented on German (non-genre specific) promotion platforms. This week, they shared their new song Matches. In Germany, it is promoted as rock music – but we know that these Pittsburgh guys have a country music heart.

Giving You Up by Kameron Marlowe

Finally, it is a matter of taste. But you have to say that quite a lot of people struggled with the first main stage acts on Sunday at the 2026 C2C in Berlin. And then came Kameron Marlowe. Within moments, he turned Uber Eats Music Hall into a big country music party zone. I already named him my artist of the day in the personal thoughts post. Additionally, here is one of his classics.

Fun by Chris Janson feat. David Lee Murphy

I have to admit that I struggled with the most recent song releases by Chris Janson a bit. His this week’s song Fun is indeed Fun – and I am happy to have another really cool and relaxed party song by him this week.

Dry Spell by Kacey Musgraves

Kacey Musgraves fans look forward to 1st May 2026. The country music lady is sharing her new album Middle of Nowhere on that day. This week, she gave a first listen into the album with Dry Spell. Sounds really promising.

Queen of 30A by Brian Kelley

Former Florida Georgia Line’s Brian Kelley released a really interesting new song this week. I really like the sound and the storytelling of Queen of 30A. Thus, it was an easy choice for the playlist.

Papi by Anton Liljedahl

I love the Faroe Islands and Faroese music. However, it rarely happens that I run into country music from my Nordic happy place. Anton Liljedahl sngs about the process of becoming a father and how that is changing life. Or, quoting the press kit, it is written from the moment a man realizes life is no longer just his own. Despite the language issues, I absolutely love this song.

I Ain’t No Cowboy by Luke Combs

There are so many song releases by Luke Combs currently. His album The Way I Am is due next week. Don’t be afraid that he won’t give you new songs on that day – the album’s got 22 tracks. This week, he shares I Ain’t No Cowboy – I absolutely love that one.

In The Feeling by Owen Riegling

Apart from Kameron Marlowe, I feature another Canadian artist this week. Owen Riegling shared his In The Feeling this week – and I absolutely loved his song. .

Next to You by Dalton Dover

The Grand Ole Opry website cals Dalton Dover a master country talent. That’s quite an honor, ain’t it? Based on his new song, they are absolutely not wrong about the Georgia-origin artist.

Rainin’ in Dallas by Clayton Mullen

Even days after the festival, there are some songs and artists you feel to have in mind and reflect about again and again. To me, it was for example the charming, positive performance by Max Jackson – who is represented on the playlist anyway. Another song I absolutely loved was Clayton Mullen’s Rainin’ in Dallas. Thus, I had to add it to my ten song selection this time.

The following ten songs have been released from the playlist this week:

Travelin’ Soldier by Cody Johnson
Can’t Live Without by Lakeview
Where I’m From by Dalton Dover feat. Bryce Leatherwood
Cold Beer Country Music and You by Jackie Lee
In Loving Memory by Waylon Wyatt
Tumbleweed by Jay Buchanan
Steel Town by Morgan Evans
Now I Know by Ingrid Andress
Be By You by Luke Combs
That Somebody by Mason Ramsey

Country Music Playlist Update Log (9th March 2026)

I did my song selection in Berlin this time. I already shared the first day report of the Country To Country festival. A lot of work is still ahead. I put in some influence of the C2C Friday into my playlist. Other songs will follow next week.

Whole Lotta Little by Emily Ann Roberts

I just had a brief episode watching Emily Ann Roberts on Friday in Berlin. One song I really liked was Whole Lotta Little. The song made it into my playlist, finally.

Blue Ridge Red by SJ McDonald

More and more, SJ McDonald becomes a frequent part of my playlist. This week, she released Blue Ridge Red – and I added her new single.

Landlords, Bill Lee, etc. by Nathan Evans Fox

The Sad Song Society driven my Kenny Foster is one of the higlights of the festival to me. Together with Tyler Sjöström, he is presenting deep and typically a bit of sad tracks. The daily comes with excellent songwriting and a big sense of humor. This year, the third artist was Nathan Evans Fox . who did really great. I picked my favorite song of his shows at the C2C.

You and Me by Cameron Whitcomb

Cameron’s most recent performance on German grounds was during the 2025 Sound of Nashville Open Air. This week, he released his new song, You and Me.

Horse Named Texas by Aaron Wilson

26 songs, almost 90 minutes of playtime. Indeed, Aaron Watson treated his fans very well this Friday. Here is the title track of the massive album Horse Named Texas.

Wasn’t Thinkin’ by Ryan and Rory

Ryan and Rory will play at the London C2C this week, but neither makes it to Continental Europe no to any other C2C location. This week, the duo released Wasn’t Thinking.

Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us by Travis Bolt

Another album release this week is Burning Bridges by Travis Bolt. I went for the fourth song of the album, Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us.

College by Koe Wetzel

Koe Wetzel calls his new EP These Are Going Nowhere a Mixtape. My favorite track is College. .

Levee by Kip Moore

Another new song by Kip Moore. He released it this week – and made teh more

Happy Pills by Sterling Elza

Sterling Elza is one of the many very high-class country musicians from Texas. On Friday, he released the EP Bag of Bones. I liked Bag of Bones – hope you enjoy the song as well.

The following ten songs have been released from the playlist this week:

What Do I Do? by Eddie And The Getaway
American Sky by Morgan Myles
Rich in Texas by Kassi Ashton
Prayin’ For Me by McCoy Moore
You Say Texas by SJ McDonald
Man For That by Taylor Austin Dye
Gone by Kindred Valley
Tiger Lillies by Kelsey Waldon
Think of You Then by Artwane Tyler
Get Around Boy by Lakelin Lemmings

Country Music Playlist Update Log (2nd March 2026)

It’s C2C time, baby! Already on Wednesday, I will head to Berlin for the Country To Country Festival. Look forward to meet so many friends, artists and community, in and around Uber Eats Music Hall next weekend. The festival also influenced my choice of ten song additions to the playlist. Here are the song representing my week of country music.

Made For This by Casey Barnes

In the past, I more frequently ran into artists from Australia. Casey Barnes is a country rock artist from Tasmania, who released his debut album Say What You Feel in 2004 already. This week, he released his new single Made For This.

Maybe You’re The One by Kasey Tyndall ft. Pop Evil

Maybe You’re The One is an all-US American collaboration. North Carolina native Kasey Tyndall is joining forces with the hard rockers Pop Evil from Grand Rapids, Michigan. There is a touch of country as well as a bit of hard rock spirit in this lovely new release.

Born To Be Yours by Warren Zeiders

It’s roughly a year ago since Warren Zeiders played at the Carlswerk Victoria in Cologne. This week, the Pennsylvania country artist shares his new song, Born To Be Yours. I absolutely like it.

Don’t Tell On Me by Jason Aldean

It’s not only the C2C week in Germany and the Netherlands, there has also been a certain focus on the CMA Fest last week. The CMA published the Nissan Stadium lineup for the big festival. One of the artists on the big stage will be Jason Aldean. He released his new song Don’t Tell On Me this week.

Chain Smoking by Paul Cauthen ft. Delaney Ramsdell

Chain Smoking is already the fourth single release of Paul Cauthen’s new album Book of Paul. He will share the full set of songs on 3rd April 2026. So long, we can enjoy this lovely duet he recorded with Delaney Ramsdell.

Song 4 U by The Cumberland River Project

Country music made in Germany – Frank and his The Cumberland River Project lead to my only country music review this week. Listening to Meet Me In The Rain, I especially loved that Frank is singing himself this time. Enjoy my favorite song pick.

Gas Station Flowers by Parker Graye

Did Parker Graye receive Gas Station Flowers for Valentine’s Day two weeks ago? Let’s hope that her new single release has a different background. A really nice one by the Canadian artist, who is originally from Orillia in Ontario.

20 Boys by Kaylee Rose

Welcome to European stages, Kaylee Rose. I was so happy when Kaylee announced her first European tour this week. There will be a certain focus on the Buckle & Boots Festivals in England and Switzerland. However, she will also have a few solo dates. While listening to her new single 20 Boys, why not checking out my Tour Date Overview for details?

1-(800) Dump Him by Kylie Morgan

Kylie Morgan is coming to Europe! I look that much forward to see her again in Berlin at the C2C. The country lady released her new song this week. Of course, I had to add it to my playlist.

As Good As It Gets by Trey Pendley

Trey Pendley released his six track EP Podunk this Friday. It is actually his debut EP. I chose As Good As It Gets, which is adding a traditional country music touch to the Country Music Playlist.

The following ten songs have been released from the playlist this week:

Famer by Brent Kissel feat. Lee Brice
Drive-Thru by Vic Allen
Boys Chase Girls by Josh Weathers
What Could Go Wrong by Julia Cole
Heard That by Baylee Lynn
Different Kinda Heart by Trisha Yearwood
Church Girl by Carly Pearce
Texas Swagger by Paul Cauthen
Call It Cowboy by Hayden Coffman
Looking Like Trouble by CJ Land

Country Music Playlist Update Log (23rd February 2026)

Similar to last week, I was not overwhelmingly happy with the average quality and quantity of country music releases. I guess there is a small break before the concert and festival season is kicking off. Nonetheless, I finally picked a selection of ten really fine track.

Thinkin’ ‘Bout Drinkin’ by Randall King

It’s quite a while ago since I featured Randall King the last time. I still remembe his performance at the 2024 Sound of Nashville Open Air very well. This week, he released the slow, traditional style Thinkin’ ‘Bout Drinkin’. I really love it.

I Loved Her First by Heartland

Weeks like this also give me the opportunity to add some country music classics to my playlist. During my trip to the United States in late 2025, I ran into I Loved Her First by Heartland. The band from Alabama was active from 1994 to 2012 and released the song in 2006. In 2023, they gave a comeback.

Folded Hands by Struggle Jennings

The story of William Curtis Harness Jr., known professionally as Struggle Jennings, is really interesting. The Nashville native is rather known as rapper. However, he is now also following the swag of his home town and released this beautiful country music ballad.

Borrow My Heart by Nashville Cast

The Nashville in Concert show in Oberhausen on Friday was an absolute highlight of my coverage. It’s just end of February and these four artists on stage already have huge potential becoming my Concert of the Year late in 2026. So far, here is that song by Clare Bowen, Jonathan Jackson and Sam Palladio, which was part of the TV series.

The Me That Remains by Amy Grant

Amy Grant started to work professionally as a musician since the 1970’s. The 65 year old singer-songwriter from Augusta is majorly doing Christian country music. Her new song The Me That Remains is very spiritual as well.

I Get Too Old by Paige King Johnson

Paige King Johnson’s Instagram account describes herself as Country singer-songwriter, horse girl, garden lover and ice cream enthusiast. She is originally from North Carolina. This week, she released I Get Too Old – a feeling I tend to relate to.

Arkansas Mud by Ashley McBryde

Ashley McBryde is one of the moment impressing country artists I have ever seen live on stage. She is an Arkansas native – and praises her roots in the rocking Arkansas Mud. A great song.

Shot of Glory by The Washboard Union

I still face a major backlog of tour dates I want to share with you. I just managed having sparse updates of my Tour Date Overview during the last weeks. One of the most recent ones was about The Washboard Union. Here is my songs about it.

That Somebody by Mason Ramsey

No longer a teenager soon. This year in November 2026 (we share the same birthday…), Mason Ramsey will finally turn 20. The California artist has already been a big name of the genre in his very early years. Now he feels like being a superstar. Here is his new song.

Liars & Tigers & Bears by Megan Moroney

One of the two country/Americana albums I reviewed this week is the amazing Cloud 9 by Megan Moroney. Of course, I had to review it. Here is my favorite song of the album.

The following ten songs have been released from the playlist this week:

God Made A Farmer by Callie Twisselman
Alaska by Carrie Welling
If Walls Could Talk by Tyla Rodrigues
Albuquerque by Logan Mize
When Do We Stop Talking by Parker Graye
Sleepless in a Hotel Room by Luke Combs
What If We Don’t by Ashley McBryde
Streets of Minneapolis by Bruce Springsteen
Becoming The Floor by Kendall Lujan
Cloud 9 by Megan Moroney

Country Music Playlist Update Log (16th February 2026)

As I stated in my posting about the Milano-Cortina 2026 Megastore in Milan already: I’m at the Olympic Games this weekend. A lot of interesting new experiences, including two hotel reviews coming up. However, the times were also much more intense then I felt them to be – maybe also due to the World Floorball Championships Qualification coverage the weekend before. Nonetheless, I of course also had a listen to country music – here are my ten song additions about this week.

Red Dirt ROCKNROLL by Max Jackson

The only country music album I explicitly featured this week is Dangerous in Denim by Max Jackson. I really loved this released by the Australian, while I listened to it. I look forward to have her on Berlin stages at the C2C in March.

Midnight Company by Twinnie

The British country music party girl Twinnie released a new song this week. Midnight Company is a typical release by her – at least if you focus on her Nashville era. A very pop-ish way of making country music.

Wildfire by Jackson Dean

On 24th April 2026, Jackson Dean will share his new album, Magnolia Sage. Wildfire is already the fourth song of the album he shared so far. Sounds promising.

Steel Town by Morgan Evans

It’s almost three years ago since I featured Morgan Evans the last time. In March 2023, he co-headed a show with Mitchell Tenpenny in Hamburg. This week, he released his new song Steel Town – I really like it.

I Need Your Love by Drayton Farley

Drayton Farley is about to release a new album soon as well. Its name will be A Heavy Duty Heart and the scheduled release date is 27th March 2026. Another teaser for that release is I Need Your Love, which he shared this week. A nice one between country and rock.

Thorns by Jelly Roll

Saturday was St. Valentine’s Day – so the music industry simply has to release some more emotional ones. One of the most beautiful listens in that regard in country music is the new single by Jelly Roll. Enjoy feeling love with Thorns.

Now I Know by Ingrid Andress

Honestly, I was a bit shocked when I searched for my last Ingrid Andress album review. Good Person is the latest one – and it is a 2022 release. She definitely deserves more focus from my side – her new song underlines the idea.

Call Me Drunk by Jon Langston

It’s just two weeks until Jon Langston will release Thing About Me. Call Me Drunk is the last teaser of the fifteen track release. I definitely look forward to 27th February 2026, when we can listen to the full song list.

1,000 Lifetimes by Gareth

Gareth recently announced a brief European tour in May 2026. He will be in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden, including some festivals. Maybe, the fans will also be able listening to his new song, 1,000 Lifetimes. I still love looking back the interview I had with him the during last C2C.

Be By You by Luke Combs

As said, this weekend feels like being perfectly made for songs for the heart. Luke Combs simply feels perfectly suited for that – and indeed there is a new love song by him. Enjoy the hugs and kisses!

The following ten songs have been released from the playlist this week:

Key Under The Mat by Blake Wood
Seventeen Last by Matt Jordan
Why Not Whiskey by Austin Michael
What About Now by Lonestar
Fuck This Job by Wheeler Walker Jr.
Little Man by Justin Tyler
Light of a Clear Blue Morning by Dolly Parton, Lainey Wilson, Miley Cyrus, Queen Latifah & Reba McEntire
Nights Are Forever Without You by Dan Seals, Sara Evans, England Dan & John Ford Coley
Sunday Supper by Waylon Wyatt & Bayker Blankenship
Whiskey Weather by Jon Langston

Country Music Playlist Update Log (9th February 2026)

A lot of sports is up on my side these weeks. You ran into my first report from the Floorball WFC Qualifications in Berlin already. Next week, I am hailing to Italy for the Olympic Winter Games, followed by the Swiss Floorball Cup Finals. Country music had some nice releases, but overall have not been that thrilling. Nice news is the line-up announcements for the Buckle & Boots festivals in the United Kingdom and Switzerland. I might go for some more contents about that soon. Here are my ten song picks representing the Flyctory.com week in my favorite genre.

Looking Like Trouble by CJ Land

I had two country music reviews this week. One of them is the Storm Chaser by CJ Land. I really liked getting into this artist for the first time. Here is my favorite song of the EP.

Think of You When by Antwane Tyler

Antwane Tyler started his career in hip hop, but now does country music. There is still a strong rhythm in his music – so take your dancing boots out before listening.

Cloud 9 by Megan Moroney

Megan Moroney’s Cloud 9 European Tour kicks off in September in Oslo. Two weeks before her corresponding album is released, she is sharing the title track. A good opportunity sharing the song – and referring you to my Tour Date Overview for tour details.

Get Around Boy by Lakelin Lemmings

Lakelin Lemmings is a young female country artist from West Tennessee. After she released her first song Baby Daddy in 2023, there was a two year break until American Dreamin’. Since then, there are more frequent releases – and her new single illustrates that she is definitely worth a listen.

If I Was California by Redferrin

It’s almost two years ago since I featured Redferrin at a show in Frankfurt. His new track If I Was California has great vibes. One of my favorite songs this week.

Pardon Me by 49 Winchester

When I think of 49 Winchester, I think of their great on-stage performances. I featured them in October 2025 and in May 2024 the last times on their own shows, both times in my home town in Cologne. Of course they were also on Main Stage on the first day of the C2C Berlin 2025. Their new song Pardon Me makes me look forward to the next occasion meeting them.

In Loving Memory by Waylon Wyatt

In Loving Memory is rather traditional track. Waylon Wyatt makes classic country music fans happy with his new one. Hope you enjoy the vibes as much as I do.

I Gave Her The Moon by Kenny Whitmire

Kenny Whitmire’s new track is a rather neo-traditional listen. After Me Being Me released in January, it is already his second song in 2026. A really nice one, indeed – it’s not that surprising that Kenny already has some really good reputation in the country music scene.

Both Sides of The Fence by Larry Fleet

I really look forward to Larry Fleet’s European dates in May 2026 (see my Tour Date Overview). This week, he released his new song Both Sides of The Fence – a nice appetizer for what is ahead in some three months.

Tumbleweed by Jay Buchanan

Starting with a review, closing with one. On Thursday, I shared my review of jay Buchanan’s Weapons of Beauty. You rather know this guy from rock music, but his solo debut record has a lot of country music. I picked the song Tumbleweed for the playlist.

The following ten songs have been released from the playlist this week:

Wild as Her by Corey Kent
No One Like A Quitter by Grace Gunn
You’re The One by Brandt Carmichael
Cowgirls Ride Away by Alex Angelo
Something More by Sugarland
Resolutions by Madison Parks
Red Flags by Kaylee Rose
One Day by Sheyna Gee
Cons and Clowns by Courtney Marie Andrews
Back on Bullshit by Sadie Bass

Country Music Playlist Update Log (2nd February 2026)

February is calling already. This month with Flyctory.com will be rather intense. There are two major sports events I will cover with my blog. Additionally, I will spend a few days at the Olympic Winter Games 2026 in Milan. My playlist additions are still January 2026 (or earlier) songs – let’s have a listen to them together:

Whiskey Weather by Jon Langston

My songs this week start with a typical country music topic – Whiskey. Jon Langston praises the Whiskey Weather in his new song. Cheers!

Whiskey Won’t by Lane Smith

Whiskey, part 2. Lane Smith’s new song is Whiskey Won’t. A really nice song by the Texas artist from San Antonio.

Gone by Kindred Valley

Kindred Valley is a country and folk band from West Virginia. It has been founded when he band members met at university in 2020. I really like their new song Gone.

I Wanna See Your Playlist by Elle Townley

Red flags are a big topic in social media. Elle Townley has a very dedicated way judging on you. She demands I Wanna See Your Playlist in her latest song release. I love it. What is your playlist alike?

The Great Divide by Noah Kahan

The last solo release by Noah Kahan was the album Stock Season (Forever) in 2024. This week, he released a new song, The Great Divide. Hope you like it!

Streets of Minneapolis by Bruce Springsteen

I feel it it is the first time that the same song appears in parallel in the Country Music Playlists as well as in my this week’s Songs of the Week. In the Instagram community vote, you clearly confirmed my thought that this is the most important song this week.

Written by a Woman by Kelsey Lamb

I feel that quite some female country music artists are definitely underrated. Kelsey Lamb released Written by a Woman this week – I am sure she agrees to my thought.

Hallowed Ground by Tyler Sjöström

A new song by Tyler Sjöström – I just cannot wait to see him again at the Country To Country in Berlin 2026. A beautiful, calm song with lovely storytelling. Let’s see whether he will perform it at the Sad Song Society slots.

Tiger Lilies by Kelsey Waldon

Finally, I also kicked off the concert coverage in 2026 this week. Kelsey Waldon and Domino Lewis did a great show in Cologne on Wednesday. I loved Kelsey’s song Tiger Lilies, which she dedicated to her grandmother.

Becoming The Floor by Kendall Lujan

With the album Lucky Penny (2025) and the 2023 EP Forget Me Knots, I featured Kendall Lujan twice in reviews already. This week, she released her new song Becoming The Floor – and makes it straight into my playlist.

The following ten songs have been released from the playlist this week:

The Saddest Noise, The Sweetest Noise by Adriana Ibara
Don’t Ruin Flowers by Tenille Arts
Every Town by Todd Cameron
Fit For A King by Hayden Coffman
Pretty Like You by Christina Taylor
Here For The Party by Dasha
Always Starts With You by Jackie Lee
Love Like That by Jordana Bryant
Nobody Knows by Vince Gill
When A Cowboy Prays by Brandon Lake & Cody Jonson

Country Music Playlist Update Log (26th January 2026)

Handball in Oslo, a company event in Hamburg and the Rheinland floorball derby – I had definitely a quite busy and travel-intense week this time. I was quite amazed but several really interesting country music releases this week. I picked these ten songs representing my week in country music.

What If We Don’t by Ashley McBryde

I start my list of song additions with the new song release by Ashley McBryde. It almost feels needless to state that What If We Don’t is another great listen by the US-American country music lady.

Different Kinda Hard by Trisha Yearwood

Trisha Yearwood is definitely a big name in country music. I always love running into her music. This week, she released the deluxe version of her album The Mirror. Here is one of the new songs from it.

Church Girl by Carly Pearce

Bad luck that Carly Pearce does not come back to Germany on her upcoming tour (see my Tour Date Overview). This week, she released the rather gentle song Church Girl. A really nice one.

Sunday Supper by Waylon Wyatt & Bayker Blankenship

Last Sunday, I released my preview to the C2C 2026 in Berlin. At the 2025 festival, Bayker Blankenship gained many more fans with his performances on smaller stages and the Spotlight stage. This time, he is on main stage and thus one of the artists I explicitly mentioned in my post. Thus, I felt to share one of his major songs, which he recorded together with Waylon Wyatt.

Prayin’ for Me by McCoy Moore

McCoy Moore is a new name on Flyctory.com. He released his self-titled debut EP last year. The Florida artist will be part of the Country To Country shows in Berlin and Rotterdam and also plays some of the Sound of Nashville shows between the festivals (see my Tour Date Overview). Prayin’ for Me is his new single. Maybe this listen makes you attend one of the gigs.

You Say Vegas by SJ McDonald

You Say Vegas is already the third song I feature from SJ McDonald. I really like the new song by the artist from Virginia. Let’s see how her journey continues.

Texas Swagger by Paul Cauthen

Texas Swagger is the second time I feature a solo track by Paul Cauthen. The East Texas artist released this energetic modern country track this week. I like his style.

Cold Beer Country Music and You by Jackie Lee

The title of this song sounds like a typical country music song, doesn’t it? I featured Jackie Lee’s late 2025 single Always Starts With You, his modern country music style works very well in this song as well.

Man For That by Taylor Austin Dye

Taylor Austin Dye is a Kentucky native artist, who is nowadays based in Nashville. I really love this rocking and energetic country song. Great energy!

Call It Cowboy by Hayden Coffman

Songs like Better Off lead to quite some focus on Hayden Coffman. The Knoxville artist released his new country rock song Call It Cowboy this week. A really good one!

The following ten songs have been released from the playlist this week:

Starting To Show by Cooper Alan
Big Deal by Randall King
Hell I Have by Benjamin Tod
Going Back Home by Teddy Robb
White River by Kaitlin Butts
Skin by Sam Paige
For The Record by Kelsi Mayne
Change The Man by Abbey Cone
Dos Bros by The BossHoss
Aeroplane by Zach Bryan

Country Music Playlist Update Log (19th January 2026)

Wow, this week was really special in regards of country music. I had over 30 songs which were on my long list for the Country Music Playlists. But, as always, I have to select ten – and put some additional ones into the New Country Songs Playlist. Hard work for me – great pleasure for you, hopefully!

Primadonna by First Time Flyers

The final lineup for the C2C in Berlin has been revealed – and having these British guys on stage there is such a thing to me. With Tim Prottey-Jones, they have one of the finest country songwriters from the U.K., Jake Morrell is amazing and the ladies, Poppy Fardell and Vicky Manser, are great as well. Vicky is a former Rock of Ages musical actress, by the way. Have to see them.

You’re It For Me, Honey by Caroline Jones

Caroline Jones is a very established artist in the female country music scene. The New York City-born lady is already active since 2010. The biggest of her seven studio album releases so far is likely Bare Feet (2018), which almost hit the Top 10 in the US Country Album sales. Here is her new song.

What Could Go Wrong by Julia Cole

Another artist I look forward to in Berlin that much is Julia Cole. This week, she released a new song, What Could Go Wrong. Maybe it will be in her set when she is opening the main stage on Friday.

Cons and Clowns by Courtney Marie Andrews

My first country-related review of the year is Valentine by Courtney Marie Andrews. A really nice album which just had to be reflected in the playlist as well. Here is my favorite song from it.

Light of a Clear Blue Morning by Dolly Parton, Lainey Wilson, Miley Cyrus, Queen Latifah & Reba McEntire

I featured the supergroup Frontm3n and their album Now And Then in my reviews – and I feature two superb country collaborations in the playlist as well. The first one is an amazing collaboration with Dolly Parton and four amazing country ladies (just counting Miley Cyrus to country music for a moment). Lovely one!

Nights Are Forever Without You by Dan Seals, Sara Evans, England Dan & John Ford Coley

Another set of four great artists released Nights Are Forever Without You this week. This quartet might not be as big as the ladies before – but they are great musicians with a lovely song.

Where I’m From by Dalton Dover feat. Bryce Leatherwood

How could I move over from these two amazing lineups to Dalton Dover and Bryce Leatherwood – despite they are high level country musicians as well. This week, they shared their song Where I’m From. Love it!

Rich In Texas by Kassi Ashton

Multiple songs featured in the Paramount+ series Landman (Volume II) have been released this way. I went for one of my favorite female country artists, Kassi Ashton, and her Rich In Texas.

Heard That by Baylee Lynn

Country ladies can rock as well – this week features a couple of songs proving that. Heard That is the latest song by Baylee Lynn. She is a very young, just 17 year old artist from Greenville in Tennessee. Feel like she might get more attention of Flyctory.com in the future.

Back On My Bullshit by Sadie Bass

Another debut artist on Flyctory.com is Sadie Bass. She is a 27 year old artist from Michigan, who released her debut single in 2019. Another great country rocker.

The following ten songs have been released from the playlist this week:

Killed The Man by Lee Brice
Running Outta Road by The Lockhearts
Stay A While by Treaty Oak Revival
Tennessee Orange by Megan Moroney
Another Way by Donovan Woods
Thought You Were Leaving by Myles Morgan
Rich Girl by Lucas John & The Delinquents
Bad As I Do by Jacob Hackworth
Texas by Chris Rea
I‘ve Earned My Wings by Bubba Ward

Country Music Playlist Update Log (12th January 2026)

As I wrote in my this week’s Songs of the Week episode: the music industry is getting back on track after Christmas break. The volume of new releases has increased significantly, so that there was a lot of music to listen to. Nonetheless – the rules for my playlist upgrade are fixed. Here are ten songs representing my previous week in country music.

Aeroplane by Zach Bryan

I guess you cannot talk about this week in country music without mentioning With Heaven On Top. It’s the title of the new album by Zach Bryan, released this Friday. Have a look into my Tour Date Overview – he will tour Europe this year on his With Heaven on Tour 2026. I selected the track Aeroplane for the playlist.

Nobody Knows by Vince Gill

Another album release this week is 50 Years From Home: Brown’s Diner Bar. Vince Gil released this relatively short one (just seven songs). I went for the fourth track of the release.

Hometown Heroes by The Reklaws feat. Dean Brody

The Canadian country music sibling duo The Reklaws are back with a new song. I loved many of their releases – and the more I was happy being able to listen to this one. For Hometown Heroes, they partnered with Canadian Pacific Coast artist Dean Brody.

When A Cowboy Prays by Brandon Lake & Cody Johnson

Another really nice collaboration track this week is When A Cowboy Prays. Brandon Lake and Cody Johnson recorded this very spiritual one. A rather slow song, which stays in your mind.

Sleepless in a Hotel Room by Luke Combs

Not only that Luke Combs released this new song this week. He also announced his new album. The Way I Am will be released on 20th March 2026. Two good reasons to add this track to my playlist.

American Sky by Morgan Myles

Morgan Myles is one of so many artist, who boosted her career by competing at The Voice. Her musical signature is the wide range of notes she is able to sing. Not only the vocal performance on American Sky is beautiful.

Red Flags by Kaylee Rose

Relationship issues and problems feel to be one of the most frequent topics in Kaylee Rose’s tracks. This week, she shares her new song with a rather traditional style about Red Flags. Even though I feel that the concept of red flags is silly (at least if there are too many of them), I really like this one.

Can’t Live Without by Lakeview

A new track by Lakeview – this simply has to mean that the Pittsburgh duo gets your face melted again with hard rocking country music. And they simply deliver what is expected.

One Day by Sheyna Gee

This week, I added the (first ?) German tour dates for 2026 to my Tour Date Overview. The country and classic rock artist from California also shared One Day the same time. I would definitely love listening to it on her shows.

Little Man by Justin Tyler

I live on a horse farm with my wife and our 2 dogs, Justin Tyler states on his Instagram account. Little Man by the Canadian artist is my favorite new song release this week. Hope you love it as well.

The following ten songs have been released from the playlist this week:

How Much Beer by Drake Milligan & Randall King
Still Know How To Love You by Roan Ash
What I Deserve by Sam Grow
Just Like Old Times by Turnpike Troubadours
Boys of Faith by Zach Bryan
Corvette by Shi Eubank
The Quilt by SJ McDonald
Bet All My Money by Katie Neal
Till The Ferryman Comes by Doc Raven
Christmas 1863 by Foxy Leopard

Country Music Playlist Update Log (5th January 2026)

Happy new year, Country Music Fellows! My first Country Music Playlist addition comes with a mixture of new songs and classics I ran into during my recent road trip through the Southwest USA. Additionally, I praise two artists. Hope you like my ten song selection.

When Do We Stop Talking by Parker Graye

I kick off the year with the single release of a country music lady. Parker Graye had released her debut album Lyin’ To Me in 2024. Since then, she has released several songs. Her emotional When Do We Stop Talking really touched me.

Change The Man by Abbey Cone

Abbey Cone released her most recent album Greener in April 2025. On New Year’s Day, she released her first single thereafter. A rather traditional, but very nice to listen to song by the Texas-origin artist.

Sounds Like You by Myles Erlick

Like Abbey Cone, Myles Erlick is featured on my website the first time. Nonetheless, Erlick is releasing music since 2022. A cool song with a good plot and a catching melody.

Drive-Thru by Vic Allen

With the end of the year, I also did my year-end reviews, including the My Favorite Songs 2025 post. For the first time, I did a community vote, separately for country and non-country music. Based on my song picks, you voted for Vic Allen‘s Ended in a Song. I praise the lovely English artist with one of her songs I did not cover so far, Drive-Thru.

Resolutions by Madison Parks

Madison Parks released her first song of 2026 on Friday. A lovely track by the Georgia-origin artist.

Love Like That by Jordana Bryant

So good to have a new song by Jordana Bryant. The 20 year old country-pop artist shared Love Like That this week. I really love listening to it.

Dale Jr. by Cole Swindell

Even though my last Cole Swindell album review is Stereotype as of 2022, I frequently ran into his music. In June 2025 already, he released Dale Jr.. The song is – well deservedly – still very present in US country radio. Time to add him to the playlist.

Fuck This Job by Wheeler Walker Jr.

Wheeler Walker Jr. is the country project by US-American comedian Ben Hoffman. He is doing country music with a very ironic style. Now that we go back to work after Christmas vacation, I am sure that quite a few of you feel Fuck This Job. Thus, I felt it was the perfect opportunity to pick one of Hoffman’s songs, which is having exactly that song title.

Boys Chase Girls by Josh Weathers

Josh Weathers is a country music artist with a very own style, who is living in the Muscle Shoals area (I have been there this summer). With Neon Never Fades, he released one of the first country music albums of the year on Friday. I picked this song.

Dos Bros by The BossHoss

I already stated my Favorite Songs 2025. My personal country music top placement pick was I’ll Be Back by the German country-rockers The BossHoss. Even though they did not make it to the finals in my community vote, I praise them by picking one of their classics, which is also one of their biggest songs. Here is Dos Bros.

The following ten songs have been released from the playlist this week:
