Great voice and she is an outlaw. Why? Because Marty Stuart stated, "The most outlaw thing you can do in Nashville today is sing country music." Hoping Ashley gets the breaks she deserves.

I’m going to make this kind of album,’” she said. “But when it comes down to it, my voice is country, the songs I write are country and my soul is country.” “Obviously, every artist would be lying if they said that they didn’t want to be played on country radio,” she acknowledged. “That’s a huge window to people. And a big reason for making music, to me, is so I can get what I’m hearing to somebody else. I would love to have country radio on my side. But I also want to make the music that I want them to hear. In case it does get on the radio, I want it to be something I’m really proud of. That’s why I made a country record.” Speaking of Ashley, these are a couple good quotes from a lengthy article on GAC:

I received an advanced download, but I still bought the album (one for me and one for a friend) yesterday to support her sales. Rick,

I miss the days of Advance CD's when I could pick up a copy for cheapsies on FleaBay... Music City Roots Alert! Tonight's show will feature the fine duet act "Johnny Swim" that was featured on A Prairie Home Companion episode recently. Other artists include The McCrary Sisters, Charlie Parr (any relation to Jack?), Alanna Royale, and The Danberry's. Jim Lauderdale is back! Yay! Link: http://musiccityroots.com/shows From Above: "Dale Watson, Miss Leslie, and Amber Digby are among the artists who’ll play the Tomball Honky Tonk Music Festival in Tomball, TX on March 16." Darn, I wish they'd do a festival like that in Southern California. Crikey, mate! Did Tompall Glaser's parents name him after Tomball and misspell it on the birth certificate? Hmmm... I was bummed to read the other day that Hannah Blaylock is leaving Eden's Edge. They were one of the few bright spots on Top 40 AirHead Country radio for the last couple of years. Oh well...
