This week we take a look at 10 new (or forthcoming) singles from the likes of Randy Travis, Ausitn Webb, Randy Houser, Zac Brown Band, Colby Dee, and Sugarland vocalist Jennifer Nettles amongst others. Continue on here to see what Chuck Dauphin thinks of this week's batch of new singles!

Randy Houser - “Goodnight Kiss” (Stoney Creek Records):

Nice tempo song from one of the format’s most distinctive stylists.

Randy Travis - “Tonight I’m Playing Possum” (Warner Bros. Nashville):

One legend salutes his biggest influence. Incredible.

Zac Brown Band - “Sweet Annie” (Atlantic/Southern Ground):

Another hit to be from arguably the most consistent act in the business. Harmony is spellbinding.

Colby Dee - “He Don’t Know” (Independent):

Fresh beat, melodious sound, and a ton of infectious personality. One to watch.

Listen to “He Don’t Know” here

Jennifer Nettles - “That Girl” (Mercury Nashville):

A new chapter in Nettles’ career, this one has one of those melodies you don’t forget, and her vocal will leave you wanting more. Love it!

Lonestar - “Party All Day” (4 Star):

The title fittingly describes it, and the band sounds like they are having fun – but isn’t it too late to be launching a summer song?

Amercian Young - “Love Is War” (Curb):

Harmonies are sublime and sweet, as the instrumentation. This is how it’s done!

Listen to “Love is War” here

Brandon Rhyder - “Haggard” (Thirty Tigers):

Murky and mysterious sound that will remind you of one of those songs you hear at 3am that you just can’t get out of your head. A tune that is not exactly what you think it’s going to be, but it hits the spot!

Listen to “Haggard” here

Austin Webb - “Slip On By” (Streamsound):

Maybe the pick of the litter this week. Austin’s vocal is front and center, and showcases his blues side to the max. Song is thought provoking, as well!

Listen to “Slip On By” here

Maggie Sajak - “Wild Boy” (GMV):

While the song has been written before, there is something about Maggie’s vocals. She’s got a personality all her own!
