Best New Country Songs

Happy AmericanaFest week everyone! We've been running around all week catching all the amazing performances that have been happening since Monday and we've hardly had time to even eat. Luckily, we've had a big stack of pizzas and a chilled bottle of chardonnay to come home to every night so we've still found time to round up all the biggest and best new releases from the world of country and Americana for you.

This week's playlist has some big hitters from Jake Worthington, Jake Owen, Warren Zeiders and loads more. Listen along to all the songs in the playlist on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Music and YouTube.

This week's Best New Country cover star is Rodney Atkins. He releases his new song, 'Helluvit' today. The carefree original makes lemonade out of lemons no matter what life serves up. Choosing to find heaven in the midst of the crazy, Atkins marvels with gratitude at the lucky hand he was dealt after shooting his shot, imbued with details of his 2am Vegas proposal to Falcon.

Conceding the good things in life are a risk worth taking, 'Helluvit' delivers another glimpse into Atkins’ long-awaited follow-up to 2019’s Caught Up In The Country, due in 2026. Atkins wrote the quirky, clever snapshot of real life with Falcon, Daniel Ethridge and Seth Mosley and produced the track with Jordan Schmidt.

"It wasn’t just a love song, it was our story about holding on to love through all the twists and turns life throws at you, fightin’ and makin’ up, raisin’ babies, laughin’ through the madness, and finding a little bit of heaven in the middle of the Helluvit,” shares Atkins. “Singing it felt like cuttin’ loose and telling the truth about life and love. It’s unpredictable, it’s a little crazy, and it’s worth every bit of it.”

The upbeat and twangy single delivers a glimpse of the real-life romance between Atkins and his wife, Rose Falcon. Additionally, he premieres a lighthearted music video for the new song, which prominently showcases Falcon, as well as their sons, Scout and Ryder.

It's a big week for new songs this week with new ones from Muscadine Bloodline, Naomi Johnston, Bayker Blankenship and Priscilla Block. Plus, Tyler Halverson teams up with Parker McCollum and it 'Still Feels The Same' for Jake Banfield and RaeLynn.

We've got new ones from Jason Aldean, Karley Scott Collins and Timmy McKeever. While Robyn Ottolini celebrates everything Canadian in the week of Canadian Country Music Awards with 'Oh, Canada.'

Every week we like to turn our Holler spotlight onto a song that we feel like shining a little extra bright light on and this week we've fallen hard for the new single from Bobby Dove, 'Not Much of an Outlaw.'

“'Not Much of an Outlaw' is the first single release off my upcoming full-length record, coming out in early 2026," shares Dove. "We shot the music video with Little Jack films at Old George’s Hidden Village in Whitewood, Saskatchewan. George Chopping, with his heart of gold and extensive collection of Canadiana and antique glass, allowed us to freely explore and film around the Western town that he had restored on his property. A big thank you to Old George, to Alyssa Kaneski for playing the fetching bartender, and Lenard for being the bestest cowboi doggy, may he rest in peace. This song is for the misfits and outlaws, feeling their big feelings out there, learning to live in their own truth, and loving themselves the best they can."

Currently based in rural Manitoba, Bobby Dove is preparing to release their new full-length album, Fortune Teller, in early 2026, produced by Aaron Goldstein (Cowboy Junkies/City and Colour.) The upcoming record features 13 new tracks, including a cowrite/duet with Grammy winning singer-songwriter Jim Lauderdale. 'Not Much of an Outlaw' is the first single release off the new album, coming out 9/12/25 on all streaming platforms. Featured as part of this anticipated release, is an official music video created by Little Jack Films, at Old George's Hidden Village of Treasures in Whitewood, SK.

Both the song and video pay homage, while also shedding light on, the stereotypes of Western and Outlaw Country culture. Dove's approach to this is both playful and wistful, as they examine their identity as a gender- diverse individual, living and working within these traditions.
