The Official Country Music Thread Genre • Page 169

Okay let’s give it a shot! Here’s a link to the playlist, we can come up with a more fun title later.

Rules:
1. Favorite country songs from the first half of 2025
2. Try to limit your submissions to 7 songs total — we can figure out if that number’s right later

 

Here’s what I got.

Bonnie Prince Billy - Turned To Dust
Esther Rose feat Dean Johnson - Scars
Matt Heckler - Old Copper Ring
Graves - River of Tears
Adam Wright - Whisper Gold
Tami Neilson feat JD McPherson - You’re Gonna Fall
Theo Lawrence feat Mellisa Carper - Thank You, But No Thank You

 

Are we just putting our songs here in the thread? I can’t seem to add them to the actual playlist. I’m an Apple Music guy so maybe I’m missing something

 

It should be a collaborative playlist for anyone with a Spotify account! Send your picks to the thread if you don’t have the ability to add it.

 

I haven’t tried via web yet but can’t via my mobile

Edit: yeah, can't via web either.

 

Would add:

Evan Bartels - The Highway
William Beckmann - Game I Like to Play
Kashus Culpepper - Man of His Word

 

Evan Bartels is so good. I was going to add Lula but we probably don’t need multiple songs from 1 artist in the playlist

 

He's probably #1 on my list to see at AmericanaFest. Cannot wait to see him!

 

I need to catch up on 2025 country music but this song kicks ass

 

Whole album is great. I’m a big fan of her song Cheerios.

 

I haven’t gotten through the album yet but it’s on my to do list for tomorrow.

 

Listened to Waylon Jenning's Dreaming My Dreams today on my flight and man what a fantastic record.
