Finally got time to host the final part of this rankdown series. Let me just say again this is a rankdown of my 40 favorite non-mainstream country or country-adjacent songs, that partly reflect my personal year-end choices, plus a mix of older but still great songs to bring the variety. Specifically I have picked songs from previously featured albums because I think these albums deserve more representation in rankdowns. I have also put some wildcard choices that are not often talked in country music context, but are basically listened by the same people and may be treated as such anyway.
The songs:
Adeem the Artist - Middle of a Heart
Allison Russell - Stay Right Here
Amanda Fields, Ryan Culwell - Trail of Unforgiveness
Big Thief - Red Moon
Bill Callahan - The Ballad of the Hulk
Blackberry Smoke - Let It Burn
Brennen Leigh - You Turned Into A Dragon
Brent Cobb - When Country Came Back to Town
Caitlin Rose - I Was Cruel
case/lang/veirs - Atomic Number
Charley Wesley Godwin - The Flood
