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 (24th February 2025)

Country To Country 2025 in Berlin is less than two weeks ahead. I was thrilled when I put up my preview posting on Thursday. I am really thrilled to be back at the festival. The festival is also influencing my playlist additions this week, but there is some new music as well.

Maybe I’m Alright by Charles Esten & Keb’ Mo’

Charles Esten does such amazing music. I like looking back to his May 2024 show in Hamburg. This week he released this song, alongside Keb’ Mo’

No Rain by Carly Pearce

Carly Pearce gave an amazing show in Cologne this week as part of her Hummingbird tour. A nice coincidence that there is also a new song by the Kentucky artist (she performed it in Cologne already).

Quiet In This House by Gareth

Gareth will be one of the few European artists on stage in Berlin in some two weeks. I am sure that his new song Quiet In This House will be part of the sets.

Fall In, Fall Out by Josh David & Kaylee Rose

Kaylee Rose released two songs this week. Apart from a solo release, she was also part of this song, alongside Josh David. I really like that duet.

Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend by Nate Smith feat. HARDY

Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend – this new song by Nate Smith sends quite a message. The artist, who will be on the Mainstage in Berlin on Sunday, collaborates with HARDY, who recently published his 2025 Him Bob World Tour dates (see my Tour Date Overview).

No Name Roads by Chase Matthew

Chase Matthew released his sophomore album CHASE this week. I went for the fourth song of the record, No Name Roads.

Like a Lady by Hannah Anders

The bio section on Hannah Anders homepage begins with a quote of the Guitar Girl Magazine. Hannah never fails to set the bar higher for women in country music, bridging the gap between the old and the new. Based on her amazing new single, I can just relate to that, based on the new release of the Nashville native.

3, 2, 1 by Tucker Wetmore

If you join the raffle, you might win a meet & greet with Tucker Wetmore during the C2C in Berlin. If you are unlucky or not in the German capital… Enjoy his new song release.

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

Love You Now by Kenny Foster feat. Mae Estes
Red Wine or Whiskey by Alli Walker
Country Song by Payton Smith
The Man He Sees In Me by Luke Combs
Summer Down South by Kyle Daniel
Dust by Anna Vaus

Country Music Playlist Update Log (17th February 2025)

This weekend is really busy. Thus some of my sports and concert reports will be published two or even three days after the event in fact took place. At least, I am in time regarding my Country Music Playlist. As every Monday, here are eight additions – and departures – from my music selection on Spotify and Amazon Music.

What Ifs by Kane Brown feat. Lauren Alaina

Kane Brown announced his tour in fall 2025, which will also bring him to Germany. Check my Tour Date Overview for the exact dates. I felt it is a nice opportunity to add one of his classics to the playlist.

Länger als gedacht by Roland Kaiser

German readers might think I am mad. Roland Kaiser is one of the most famous German schlager artists. Last week, he released his new album Marathon – and this song really has some country vibes. I like it.

Lovin’ You by simon.loves.music

I love listening to new artists. This one is even the debut single by the Austrian (female) artist simon.loves.music. I really love that track

Heavy Boots by Gary Quinn

A European triple in this playlist. Gary Quinn released his new song Heavy Boots this week – and it is really a blast.

By Your Side by Gary Louris

On Friday, I shared a new album by a very interesting alternative country artist. I really enjoyed listening to Dark Country by Gary Louris – and go for my favorite listen of the record in here.

Klonopin Zombies by Ron Pope

Ron Pope is an outstanding artist to me. I still remember his September 2023 show in Cologne very well. This week, he released a new album, American Man, American Music. Unfortunately, I had no chance to deeply review it – but here is my favorite track.

She Hates Me by Dierks Bentley

Not a too positively sounding title – but a really nice new song by Dierks Bentley. I just had to share it with you.

Burned Down Heaven by Chase McDaniel

Burned Down Heaven is the new single release by Chase McDaniel. The Nashville-based singer-songwriter, who is a Kentucky native, did a really nice job here.

Waiting To Die by Hannah Ellis & Nick Wayne

Hannah Ellis is doing another song with her husband Nick Wayne this week. Waiting To Die is an absolute beauty. Hope to have her back in Germany one day after I featured her March 2024 show in Cologne.

Sober Now by Chelsea Berman

Country Music Playlist Update Log (3rd February 2025)

The last days in Italy featuring the World Floorball Championship Qualifications there have been quite intense. Thus, I did not feature any album reviews during that time and concentrated on my sports coverage. The bigger was the selection of country songs which could potentially make it to my playlist and the January 2025 Country Music Picks. Hope you like my selection.

I Dare You is a typical, very melodic Rascal Flatts. Alongside the Jonas Brothers, the trio released I Dare You this week – I really like it!

Todd Cameron moved from West Virginia to Nashville to pursue his country music career. This week, he released Homecoming And Coming Home. With his most successful songs being already released some years ago (like the 2020 Ruin My Truck); I keep my fingers crossed for him this week.

Horses In Heaven by Randy Travis

Randy Travis is still releasing beautiful music – with a beautiful traditional touch. This week he states There is horses in heaven – sounds like a perfect cowboy romance.

Boys Growing Up by Ned LeDoux

Ned LeDoux is the the son of country music singer-songwriter Christopher LeDoux, who died in 2005. Ned is organizing an annual country music festival in Kaycee, Wyoming, to honor his ancestor. He feels to have inherited a lovely sense of songwriting from him as well. I really like this one.

Country Music Playlist Update Log (20th January 2025)

This weekend, I was majorly covered with floorball in Finland. There will be some more rather intense sports and travel weekends ahead the next weeks – which unfortunately also always means that I cannot react too much on country albums, for which I haven’t received promotion packages beforehand. Nonetheless, there was a real highlight this week with the new Jessica Lynn album All I Own, which is – of course also in my eight song pick for this playlist.

Spilled Whiskey by Josh Ward

Josh Ward released the twelve song album Same Ol’ Cowboy, Different Rodeo this week. I went for this rather traditional style to be added to the playlist.

Soulmate by Barefoot Joe

Barefoot Joe describes himself as a country music artist and songwriter from Virginia with a soulful country sound on his own website. I feel that is a perfect description for this song as well. A lovely listen with a lot of emotions.

Straight Outta Luck by Jessica Lynn

As stated above, All I Own has been the album I was looking forward to the most this week. Jessica did great and even topped the US country sales on Amazon with it. Well-deserved!

Honkytonk Hollywood by Jon Pardi

This week also saw a new track by Jon Pardi! The title already sounds like energy and fun – and that is exactly what the country music legend delivered. Nice!

Ain’t No Use by Danny Worsnop

How could there be a new year without a new Julia Cole song? The female country artist is simply that active in the studio – and her songs are fun listens.
