While 2020 has proven tough for music fans, with the cancellation of most live shows due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, there’s still stellar new music being released. A number of big country and Americana names have announced their plans to drop new albums in the remaining months of 2020, after seven months of great new tunes already.
The new music has come quickly since the start of the new year: Little Big Town, John Moreland, Aubrie Sellers, Ingrid Andress and Brandy Clark, among others, all released new music in the first few months of 2020, while the spring brought records from Kip Moore, Sara Evans and many more.
Keep reading for a complete rundown of 2020’s new country, Americana, bluegrass and folk album releases. You can also flip through the photo gallery above to see what’s coming in the new year.
