She doesn't get the appreciation she deserves. Ashley has a unique voice, so emotional and stion powerful. Love her singing

[kimgoebel]

She's such a great singer with such a talent for the guitars that she plays not even compared to Laney Wilson or the others. She is amazing far beyond and above!!!

In a night where everyone sounded off, Ashley couldn’t have sounded any better. What a touching tribute

[conniewickwire]

The most beautiful voice of the night. Thank you 😢

[misterbojangles]

She's one of the best traditional country singers today. That's why she was up for female artist of the year. She deserves to win it but is up against the country pop nominees. They'll get it right some day

[lacpeb]

This performance deserves an Emmy. I literally cannot stop watching it. This also needs to be released as a single.

[nitalay]

This is what true music is -- a guitar, a great voice, and a song that will break your heart.

[trexxy]

Ashley is one of the true singer/songwriters out there. Her range is glorious. Under appreciated.

[robbieromero]

In my opinion this might be the best performance of the night! Wow she is incredible!
