20 New Songs For Your Country Playlist
The Odyssey Online

We all know the struggle of finding good new music before it gets overplayed on the radio. So, as we are in the midst of award season, many artists are dropping fun, new singles for their fans. On this list you'll see some familiar faces as well as a few up and coming artists with some great new hits for 2017.


1. Craving you

As the ACM Male Vocalist of the Year, Thomas Rhett has truly made a name for himself over these past two years. He even blessed the world by performing this new hit at the American Country Music Awards along side the beautiful Maren Morris. And, as if his amazing voice isn't enough, he lives quite the life with wife Lauren Akins - check them out @thomasrhettakins!

2. Every Time I Hear that Song

Blake Shelton seems to be pretty busy between judging The Voice, dating Gwen Stefani, and releasing his new album "If I'm Honest". Two years ago, the world was devastated to learn that Blake and Miranda Lambert divorced, but it seems as though their careers have both taken off since the unfortunate split. Although Blake's new album has many hits, this is one of the best new hidden gems.

3. No Such Thing As A Broken Heart

Lead singer Matthew Ramsey and the rest of the Old Dominion band have exploded over the past two years. With platinum hit "Break Up With Him" and gold hit "Snapback", the band has dominated radio stations across the country. This group successfully merges country-style lyrics with rock n' roll-style performance to create universally loved songs.

4. Body Like A Back Road

Known for his unique sound and dashing looks, Sam Hunt has released a single that can already be found on every country radio station. One frusterating aspect about this artist though is that he has not released an album in 3 years! Instead he continues to tease his fans by dropping 1-2 jaw-dropping singles each year.

5. Rich

27 year old Maren Morris made her first major public debut in 2016 when she won CMA's New Artist of the Year Award. She was first put on the map when her song "My Church" topped radio charts in 2016, and has now released a full album full of hit songs. Although this is a current favorite, I highly recommend checking out the entire album.

6. City Girl

Coincidentally, Ryan happens to be Maren Morris' boyfriend as well as an up and coming country artist. As it turns out, Hurd isn't far behind Morris as his few singles are beginning to gain recognition throughout the country music world. And for the best part, the two are currently touring together as Ryan is opening on Maren's Hero Tour.

7. In Case You Didn't know

This Orange County, California native was originally a college baseball pitcher before getting injured and switching to songwriting. Today, Brett Young is often known for his radio hit "Sleep Without You" which topped charts in 2016. Here is another emotionally driven song from the same album!

8. Round Here Buzz

Eric Church has always been an interesting performer in country music. With his signature aviators and rock n' roll style, he has truly created a unique sound for his fans. Funny story is that he was engaged to a woman out of college, but after he turned down her father's request for him to go into a corporate career, he moved to Nashville where his career took off!

9. Back to Us

As seasoned vets, Rascal Flatts released their first album all the way back in 2008. Now 9 years later, they continue to put out hit after hit for their loyal fans. This year they have their "Back to Us" album coming out in May, but have already released two singles from the album including this title track!

10. Clockwork

Easton Corbin originally found his passion for country music after watching country-themed television shows as a child. Since then he has released some huge country hits including "A Little More Country Than That" and "All Over the Road". Here is his new fun and flirty single for the year!

11. Pretty Close

You may recognize him from JoJo's season of the Bachelorette, but Luke Pell has also been making a name for himself in the country music world. Although he has only released two songs, this most recent single of his is actually pretty catchy!

12. Hometown Girl

As a devout Christian from South Carolina, Josh Turner grew up singing in the gospel choir of his hometown church. Today, Josh admits that he doesn't feel as though The Lord is calling him to be a gospel singer, but rather a Christian singer. With this being said, his music is often very genuine as he tries to speak from the heart!

13. Rockstars

Here is a personal favorite. Although Kane Brown may not be a household name yet, he will be one day. So far he has only released two albums, but each song is truly amazing. The best part is that he writes all of his own music which allows him to share unique messages with his lyrics!

14. Wild Horse

During the second season of The Voice, Raelynn was eventually eliminated in the quarterfinals, but this didn't stop her from pursuing her passion for music. Since her time on the show, she has released huge radio hits including "God Made Girls" which became a Gold record. Here is the title track of her new album that is sure to be a hit!

15. Preaching to the Choir

This country music boy band was originally formed in Nashville Tennessee. After the four musicians, Zach Brown, Michael Hobby, Graham DeLoach, and Bill Satcher released their first album titled A Thousand Horses, the group decided to use the title as the name for their new successful band!

16. More Girls Like You

Kip Moore has been a consistent country music artist throughout the years. After his huge debut with "Somethin' Bout A Truck" in 2011, he has averaged 1-2 singles each year including "Beer Money" and "Hey Pretty Girl". It is exciting to see the immense attention each one of his singles receives each year!

17. Small Town Boy

You will never see this handsome country boy without his signature ten-gallon hat. Even while he's rocking out on stage and jumping around with high-intensity, the cowboy hat has become part of his style. Dustin gives insight about this new single saying "it is about being in love with someone for who they are and what makes them unique"!

18. Close

Now here is a new artist with some major potential. After falling in love with John Mayer's album Room For Squares, Kinder bought a guitar and taught himself how to play in order to follow his passion. This seems to be his first break out single, but I wouldn't doubt it if he releases some more hits in the near future!

19. Family Table

This alternative country band first debuted in 2008 with their song "Country Fried" that immediately topped country music charts. Since then, the band has a unique sound that is perfect for those summer night bonfires. Furthermore, the Zac Brown Band seems like the perfect band for those who are slowly easing into country music!

20. Last Day Alive

Alright, so this song may not actually be a country song, but it does feature the one and only Florida Georgia Line, which makes it pretty special! The Chainsmokers have also become an overnight success after releasing their hit songs "Roses" and "Closer"!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
