There’s absolutely no shortage of new music right now.
With tour schedules halted due to the ongoing pandemic, artists have returned to the studio, creating an influx of new tunes.
It can be a bit overwhelming to sift through all of the new music releases, so let Country Now do it for you. Here are six new songs you need to hear right now.
“My First Car” – Meghan Patrick
An undeniable country hit, “My First Car” finds Meghan Patrick looking back on some of life’s pivotal moments such as her first drink, her first love, her first buck and most importantly, her first car, which was actually not a car at all.
“My first drink was a warm Busch Light/ And my first scar is from an old dirt bike/ My first love grew up on a farm/ My first buck is tattooed on my arm/ Yeah, I got it right, right outta the gate/ Five inch straight-pipe ’98/ Rolling coal Chevrolet, lifted up/ ‘Cause my first car was a pickup truck,” she sings on the chorus.
You’ll want to crank this one up.

The music video, which features his wife and son, has already raked in over 7 million views.
