Episode 81 of CountrifiedUK is packed from start to finish as we dive into the latest country music news and brand-new releases making waves right now.

This week, we’re joined by country music star Graylen James for an in-depth interview, where we talk songwriting, influences, live shows, and what’s next in an exciting new chapter of his career — plus his thoughts on the ever-growing UK country music scene.

We also unveil a special feature: CountrifiedUK’s Class of 2026 — a hand-picked selection of artists we believe are set for a huge breakout year. These are the names you need to know before everyone else does.

From Nashville to the UK and beyond, this episode celebrates everything we love about country music — authenticity, storytelling, and the artists shaping its future.
