Though Nashville remains the cradle of country, Canada has a pretty long history with it too, taking the styles and sounds of its Southern neighbors and applying its own rustic, regional spin. Honky-tonk, outlaw ballads, beat-driven pop crossovers—these songs represent a cross-section of Canada’s best modern country. This week, Owen Riegling tops the list with his new single, the sweeping “Taillight This Town.” A midtempo ballad with a nostalgic bent, the track finds Riegling hoping to whisk a lover away from their small hometown, a story the Canadian up-and-comer came up with while touring. “Over the past couple of years I have lived on the road,” he tells Apple Music. “A lot of my recent songwriting has been inspired by places I’ve seen, people I’ve met, and the adventure of being on a highway that can take you anywhere. ‘Taillight This Town’ is about growth and adventure, finding yourself in places you could have never imagined.” Listen to it now and add Canada’s Country to your library to stay up on the songs shaping the future of country music.
