Friday, 29 August 2025, marks one of the most exciting release days of the year for country music. Both rising stars and established acts are dropping projects that showcase the genre’s storytelling heart and modern evolution.
1. Zach Top – Ain’t In It For My Health
The most buzzed-about release of the day, Zach Top’s sophomore album dropped today via Leo33. Produced by Carson Chamberlain, the 15-track record continues his neo-traditional revivalist streak with heartfelt anthems like “Good Times & Tan Lines,” emotional ballads (“When You See Me,” “South of Sanity”), and playful honky-tonk vibes. Critics praise its authenticity and storytelling strength.
2. Margo Price – Hard Headed Woman
Country-rock icon Margo Price released her fifth studio album today, marking a creative homecoming. Produced with Matt Ross-Spang at the iconic RCA Studio A, the album features standout singles like “Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down” and “Losing Streak.” Expect bold, narrative storytelling, collaborations with Tyler Childers and Jesse Welles, and Price’s uncompromising authenticity on full display.
3. Wolfe Brothers – Australian Made
Australian country duo the Wolfe Brothers—Tom and Nick—unveil their seventh studio album today. Australian Made is described as deeply personal, featuring collaborations with Kaylee Bell, Lee Kernaghan, and Zac & George. Alongside the music release, they’re serving as ambassadors for the 2025 Gympie Muster and hosting a fan competition for pre-orders.
