Four country albums help fill up this week's (Jan. 20-26) list of new country releases. Additionally, you'll find great songs from Tyler Hubbard, Charley Crockett, Morgan Wallen and Glen Campbell.
That's right, there's a new Glen Campbell project coming, and the first tease is a duet between the legend and Eric Church. The Ghost on the Canvas Sessions will drop on April 19, featuring Dolly Parton, Eric Clapton, Carole King and more. Find "Hold on Hope" as one of the featured songs below.

The new Josh Abbott Band album earned consideration for our Song You Need to Hear feature, but ultimately, this week's honor went to a different Texan with an original sound you need to hear. Somewhere Down the Road is worth the 36 minutes, however — it's the best of the full-length albums released this week.
Scroll down to see all 16 songs and albums released in country music between Jan. 20 and Jan. 26, followed by the staff pick for the song you need to hear. More will be added to this list as they're revealed on Friday.
