This playlist tracks what’s happening from the heart of the country scene to its outer edges. Find fan favorites you already love next to breakout stars and emerging voices. Topping the list this week is Kameron Marlowe’s “Hello Whiskey,” a song from Marlowe’s just-released new album Sad Songs for the Soul that has one hell of an opening line: “Hello whiskey, goodbye pain.” There’s still some serious ache in Marlowe’s vocal, though, as he sings of a particularly brutal breakup with gritty soul reminiscent of Chris Stapleton or Teddy Swims. “Hello Whiskey” is one of several standouts on Sad Songs, which makes good on its name with 10 downtrodden accounts of lost love and bad luck, including the fan favorite “How’s the Leaving Going.” Check back here early and often for updates, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
