We used to have Bayou Country Superfest to enjoy during Memorial Day weekend. While that may be gone, there's another great Baton Rouge area country music party that appears to be taking its place.

The lineup for Cajun Country Jam in Denham Springs just got announced and it is a good one.

Artists such as Travis Tritt, Scotty McCreery, Mitchell Tenpenny, and more will be playing in this big event being held May 27 and 28, 2023 at PARDS North Park in Denham Springs.

Tickets are already on sale and you can get those at TheCajunCountryJam.com. It's $90 for a single-day pass or $120 for a two-day weekend pass. Pit passes are also available for both days and cost $200. (Kids under 5 can enter for free.)

Festival gates will open each day at 2:00 pm for general admission and 1:30 pm for pit passes. VIP parking lots open at 11:00 am and general admission parking will open at noon.

Top 22 Country Songs of 2022, Ranked

There are plenty of feel-good country jams on this list of the top country songs of 2022, but the No. 1 song is one of the best love songs of the decade. These 22 songs are ranked by critical acclaim, radio and sales success, and importance to the genre.

Seven of the 22 artists made our Top Country Songs list from 2021 as well, but there are no repeats. If a song made a previous list or didn't spend most of its time on the charts in 2022, it's not eligible. So, before you ask where your favorite song is (i.e. Cody Johnson, "'Til You Can't), be sure the miss isn't just a technicality.
