New Music Releases 2016

Superstars like Keith Urban and Jake Owen are lined up for new music releases in 2016, while legends like Hank Williams Jr. and Loretta Lynn will reveal their first albums in years. Over a dozen big-name projects have been announced for 2016, including debut albums from artists like Brothers Osborne.

New country releases from Ronnie Dunn and Trace Adkins will mark their respective debuts on new record labels. The same is true for Granger Smith, an independent artist who built a strong following the old fashioned way: show by show, fan by fan.

The Band Perry, Scotty McCreery, Randy Houser and Florida Georgia Line are all expected to release new albums in 2016. Many more will be added as the year goes by, so be sure to bookmark this page and check back often to not miss a single important release
