Welcome to Friday number two in November of 2025. We’ve got more new country music to hear y’all.
Now be sure to do your part in visiting your neighbor liquor store to pair your favorite alcohol with your new favorite country music, because it’s how country music is supposed be enjoyed. Don’t let anyone judge you for it neither. Country music and whiskey are a part of personal pursuit of happiness.
Here’s what we’ve found…
1. Colter Wall’s sixth studio album, “Memories And Empties”, has arrived. I’m in love the song “1800 Miles”. It’s basically a big FU to Nashville. As the first verse says, “I don’t know what you think you’ve been told. If I ever was for sale, I’ve never sold. It’s short on flashing lights and rhinestone clothes…1800 miles from music row.”
2. Kelsea Ballerini released a six song EP today called “Mount Pleasant”.
3. Drive-By Truckers takes us inside ‘The Definitive Decoration Day’ box set. The 4-LP box features the newly remixed and remastered album, the previously unreleased ‘Heathens Live at Flicker Bar’ (2002) double album, and a 40-page book filled with rare photos, essays, and reflections from the band. There are 33 songs on this LP y’all.
4. Ashley Cooke dropped a 9 song project today called, “Ace”. She said, “this 9 song project means more than anything she’s done thus far.”
5. Muscadine Bloodline released their sixth studio album and as promised, their second album of the year called “Longleaf Lo-Fi”.
6. Vince Gill dropped a brand album called “50 Years From Home: Secondhand Smoke”.
7. Jeff Bates showed up a brand new album today called “Don’t Hold Me To It”.
8. Zach John King dropped a new song called “Happy For You”.
9. Nate Smith and Tyler Hubbard teamed for song called “After Midnight”. And now I feel like heading to the bar after hearing this.
10. Dillon Carmichael and Chris Janson teamed up for brand new country anthem called “Raised Up Wrong”.
11. Luke Bryan is officially in the Christmas spirit now. He dropped a three song EP called “Luke Bryan Christmas”. He even teamed up with Ella Langley for a Christmas classic, “Winter Wonderland”.
