I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Corey Kent is one of the most underrated artists in country music. If you’re still sleeping on him, Heartland Rock and Roll is a fairly loud wake-up call.

From the opening seconds of Fast As I Can Crawl, subtlety is very much off the table. This is the kind of song that makes you want to pull on a pair of boots, find the nearest dive bar and kick the doors open on arrival. It’s gritty, raw and packed with swagger - and within one track, Play Boy has already made its intentions very clear.

Everyone knows Riley Green. From the hits and high-profile collaborations to the stage presence that has made him one of country music’s biggest touring names, Green has spent the past few years steadily cementing his place at the forefront of the genre. What perhaps nobody expected, though, was a sprawling 19-track album arriving in September.

Warren Zeiders is mentally preparing himself. Not for another tour, the jet lag of another trip across the Atlantic or even the prospect of facing a Glasgow crowd again... His new album is about to come out.

This isn't just Alana Springsteen's most vulnerable album to date; it's her strongest. Honest, relatable and beautifully written from start to finish, I HOPE THIS HELPS proves exactly why Alana continues to establish herself as one of country music's most exciting young artists.

Just when you think 49 Winchester physically cannot top the last thing they released, they go and do exactly that. A few times over, actually.
