Freshly Squeezed, Vol. 135: Taylor Kopp, Oh Jeremiah, County Line Runner & more

Welcome to Freshly Squeezed, a weekly new music playlist: spanning country, pop, EDM and urban, mainstream and other.

Believe it or not, folk tunesmith Taylor Kopp only now released his debut album. Found is a masterful, acoustic-rooted 10-piece with some outstanding stories and performances. Kopp’s voice is especially moving on “California,” a rasp squeezing from his vocal cords as he struggles to find his place. “I take a walk through the pines / Trying to ease my mind,” he laments.  “Is this all there is?” A lone guitar is his saving grace, and you’ll likely be moved to tears.

Oh Jeremiah are finally back, ya’ll! JOYMONGER bends folk and pop like fractured, rainbow rays of light. It’s a mix of exhilaration and brooding, and they flick between the two with ase. A song like “My Baby, Jimmy, & Me” electrifies in both spheres; sharp, insightful lyrics are baked into a sunny, bouncy melody. It’s so darn infectious!

The latest playlist includes songs from County Line Runner, Lori McKenna, Gia Ford, Annie Hamilton, Caroline Spence, BANNERS, Dixie Chicks, Wrabel, Sunny Sweeney, Kodaline, and many more!

In all, we’ve got 30 new tracks to soothe your mind during these terrible pandemic times. Insert heart emoji.

Each playlist will be refreshed every Friday morning/afternoon. We reserve the right to update anytime during the week, so make sure you bookmark this page.
