With a voice as rich as the country storytelling traditions she draws from, Ashley McBryde weaves tales with a nod to the grittier side of life that’s increasingly rare in modern country music. Songs like the poignant title track underline her knack for crafting lyrics that tell a relatable story while still feeling like each story is deeply personal to McBryde herself. That’s the kind of stuff that makes McBryde special– her unique combination of vocal talent and affinity for paying homage to the classic country records of the 70’s. Girl Going Nowhere is a record that feels right in any era, a sturdy mix of defiance and perseverance that sounds like a runaway train when she lets loose.
Standout Songs: “Girl Goin’ Nowhere”, “American Scandal”, “Livin’ Next to Leroy”, “A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega”
