Here’s some the best Americana and roots-type music releases for November 14th, 2025. Click the artist or album links to find out more. The artist’s names link to their websites and the CD title links go to either Amazon, iTunes, Bandcamp or the artist’s site for ordering or downloading. A + sign means although not a featured release, it’s a notable album that’s still worth checking out. Also, this page will be updated as I find out about other new releases so check back again.
Colter Wall
Memories and Empties (LaHonda Records)
On this new album though, Colter Wall is said to be “carrying the torch of traditional country music’s legacy beyond Nashville’s commercial influence” and is releasing a “collection of drinking songs and blue collar stories is tailor-made for the honky tonks, barrooms, porches, and pickups it will soon be inhabiting—all deeply inspired by that 1970s era of country music that still permeates early breakfasts at the diner before work and late Saturday nights that bleed into Sunday mornings.” Well that all sounds like music to our ears. The reason Colter Wall has become so wildly successful with Western music is because he doesn’t just play the music, he champions it. With so many wanting to make “country” albums these days, Colter Wall is one interloper the country music community will be more than happy to take in. (edited from Saving Country Music review)
