- David Michael Hawkins bills himself as the first openly HIV-positive country singer. With "SIN," he delivers a simple country autobiography that showcases his rich voice and determination to stand tall – and there's nothing more country than that.
- Sarah McLachlan and MUNA's Katie Gavin make sweet music on "Reminds Me," a country waltz off of McLachlan's latest album. The pair glide off each other beautiful in this testament to true love.
- Orville Peck makes running away from home romantic on "Drift Away," a retro rave-up with backseat journeys and dreaming of horizons beyond the town limits.
- To judge by Palmyra's last album Restless, the band had a lot of demons to work out. On their latest, "Jubilee," the band enjoys a moment of respite with this delicate acoustic moment of contentment.
- Jobi Riccio wrestles with a confusing relationship out on "The Ridge." The song's calm demeaner is shattered by Riccio's esquisite vocal performance.
