Ashley McBryde “Ain’t Enough Cowboy Songs”

Ashley McBryde is the real deal.

She has been one of my favorite Country artists for years, and has one of the most pure Country voices as well as an incredible talent for songwriting. She’s definitely underrated as far as I’m concerned. And live? Unfreakingbelieveable.

Like, truly, flawless.

You’ll get to experience her flawlessness while she’s on the road with Cody Johnson for the next few months, and she just dropped a new single for you to enjoy called “Ain’t Enough Cowboy Songs” and it’s pretty dang flawless, too:


Dammmnnnn…

Yep, adding it to my playlist now!

No word on if Ashley is working on a new album, which is usually the case when an artist randomly releases a song. But my fingers are crossed for a follow up to “The Devil I Know” in the near future.

The Best CMA Award Performances 2024

The 2024 CMA Awards were last night on ABC, and as always, there were a bunch of live performances. Some great, some meh, and a couple where I was like, “why are they here”? I won’t name names on the not-so-great performances, but I want to give props to who I thought really represented Country Music well.

Ashley McBryde honoring the late Kris Kristofferson with a gorgeous rendition of “Help Me Make it Through the Night”:


Perfection. Kris would be proud.

 

Kacey Musgraves delivered a gorgeous version of “The Architect”, which I feel is one of the best songs of the year. It didn’t pick up any CMA Awards, but it’s up for a bunch of Grammys, so I’m sure she’ll rack up there:


So pure and gorgeous. Country music is lucky to have Kacey, and really, the industry needs to show a bit more appreciation.

 

Chris and Morgane Stapleton “What Am I Gonna Do?”:

These two… POWER COUPLE. I want Morgane to release her own solo album and just blow everyone ou of the water.

You know she would.

 

As usual at The CMAs, there were a lot of great performances, but those were the ones where I was like, “damn.”

 

What was your favorite performance of the night?

 

Ashley McBryde and Gretchen Wilson Perform “Redneck Woman” at CMA Fest 2024

CMA Fest was held in Nashville earlier this month in Nashville.

Have you been before?

It’s one of the biggest parties in Nashville, to be sure, and is chock full of fantastic performances.

So much so, that ABC has a CMA Fest Special every Summer, and I think this year’s was one of the best.

First off, the hosts, Jelly Roll and Ashley McBryde, did a GREAT job. Usually the hosts can be awkward and stilted, but they both did a great job and kept the show going. And one of the performances that I was looking forward to was Ashley McBryde with Gretchen Wilson. I feel like Ashley could be Gretchen’s younger sister, right?

Of course, they performed Gretchen’s massive hit “Redneck Woman”, and it was awesome:


That needed to happen, right?

Also, there were a LOT of really good performances featured last night, and the “CMA Fest 2024” is now streaming on HULU.

Give it a wtch when you get the chance!

Ashley McBryde Performs a Disney Classic With “Part of Your World”

Ashley McBryde recently performed in Orlando, and she totally got Disney with it.

As she should.

Check out her incredible performance of “Part of Your World” from the Disney classic “The Little Mermaid”:

@ashleymcbrydemusic When in Orlando, you MUST sing a #Disney song…specifically, you must sing something from The Little Mermaid. Thanks @Lynsey for capturing this video! #OnTour #TheLittleMermaid ♬ original sound – Ashley McBryde

How great was that, though?

Ok, so now I’m thinking that a Country covers album of Disney Classics sung by today’s Country stars should be a thing.

Ok, universe, I threw it out to ya, now go manifest!

Terri Clark and Ashley McBryde “Better Things to Do”

Did you hear?

90’s Country Icon Terri Clark has a new project coming out called “Terri Clark: Take Two”, which is kind of a re-imagining of her greatest hits featuring some of the biggest female Country stars of today with her on some of her greatest hits.

Growing up on Country Music in the 90’s, Terri Clark was a staple on the radio, and hearing this made me all giddy.

She has teamed up with everyone from Lainey Wilson to Lauren Alaina to Ashley McBryde, and she just released her version of “Better Things to Do” featuring Ashley, who I love.

Check it out!

Cool, right?

I loved this song in Junior High, and full disclosure… I once dedicated this song on the local Country radio station in Henderson, TN to my first “boyfriend” who broke up with me because I was too annoying.

It went over like a turd in a punch bowl, but I made my point.

Oh, good times…

To be fair, 13-year-old me was kind of a weirdo, so I kind of get why he dropped me.

But still… rude.

“Terri Clark: Take Two” drops on May 31st, the same day that the Tom Petty Country tribute “Petty Country” comes out.

Needless to say, I’m pretty dang stoked!

Ashley McBryde “Devil I Know”

Ashley McBryde is one of my favorite artists- not just in Country- but in all the genres.

She is a fantastic vocalist, writer, and just as real as they come.

Also, if you have ever seen her live, you would know just how special she is.

She just announced her new radio single, “Devil I Know” and if you haven’t heard it yet, here ya go:


I’m so happy she chose this song- the title track of her latest album- to be her next single. It is one of my favorites off of her latest project.

Also, here she is performing it live:


Told you she slays live.

Lindsey Sterling and Ashley McBryde Perform on CMA Country Christmas!

Last night, “CMA Country Christmas” aired on ABC, and as per usual, it was full of great performances by some of Country Music’s biggest stars, and some pretty awesome guests, too.

Like Lindsey Freaking Sterling.

This woman has to be one of the most talented and dynamic humans on the planet, and when you combine her with Ashley McBryde and some theatrics?

You can’t lose.


That was so much fun to watch!

Ashley McBryde “Light on In The Kitchen” Live

Ashley McBryde never fails to deliver.

Seriously, we need more artists like her in ALL the genres.

You know, the talented and real type. The kind of woman you could actually hang out with and relate to… she truly does personify what Country Music is all about.

And her live performance that was just released of her latest single “Light On in the Kitchen” is proof of her incredible talent.

Damn good, right?

If you’re one of those “I Hate Country” types who is wondering why Country resonates with so many, and why it’s selling so much, especially of late?

Well, artists like Ashley is why.

Ashley McBryde “Maybe It Was Memphis”

You know I love me some 90’s Country, and one of my staples of the decade is Pam Tillis’s “Maybe it Was Memphis”. Of course, hailing from West Tennessee, and working radio in Memphis and meeting my husband there makes the song all the more special to me.  So, when I saw that one of my favorite Country artists Ashley McBryde covered it during “CMT’s Summer Sessions”, I had to give it a listen.

Holy Macaroni, it’s good.

I mean, HOT DAMN!

Just wanted to share that nugget with you in case you had missed it.

Also, Ashley’s new album “Devil I Know” comes out September 8th!

Ashley McBryde “Cool Little Bars”

Today’s crop of Women in Country Music is pretty damn amazing.

Ashley McBryde is definitely one of my favorites! An amazing, pure Country voice, fantastic songwriting, and a “realness” that is lacking in the industry… she’s got it all.

Her new song “Cool Little Bars” came out this morning, and yep, it totally delivers.

This song reminds me of all the little bars in West Tennessee and Northern Mississippi that I used to frequent when I was in cover bands. The shadier, the better!

Some of my best nights have been spent at “Cool Little Bars”… at least from what I can remember.

In fact, I first laid eyes on my future husband at a “BYOB” bar called “Southern Comfort” in Horn Lake, MS.

I was wearing a “Jesus is My Homeboy” shirt and was carrying a bottle of Jack Daniels.

Goooood Times….

Ashley’s new album “Devil I Know” comes out on September 8th.
