GRAMMY, CMA and ACM award winner Ashley McBryde cut her teeth playing country songs in biker bars – and it shows. The Grand Ole Opry member’s 2018 major label debut Girl Going Nowhere (Warner Music Nashville) charmed The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, The Washington Post and more, all en route to landing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. McBryde closed out 2019 with ACM New Female Artist, CMT Breakout Artist, a New Artist of the Year win at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards and two nominations for the 2020 GRAMMYs for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for “Girl Goin’ Nowhere.” Her follow-up Never Will was tagged by Rolling Stone as one of the most anticipated of the year alongside NPR, who also ranked her Top 10 RIAA Platinum-Certified single “One Night Standards” as one of the best songs of 2019. The album earned McBryde a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making Never Will the only album nominated for Country Album of the Year by the ACMs, CMAs and the Recording Academy in the same award season. Her GRAMMY-winning duet with Carly Pearce, “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” went all the way to No. 1 and earned McBryde and Pearce the ACM and CMA award for Musical Event of the Year. McBryde was also honored with the 2022 CMA International Artist Achievement Award for the most significant creative growth, development and promotion of the country music industry outside of the United States. Her collaborative project Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville featuring Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammack, Aaron Raitiere and Benjy Davis earned McBryde her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making her a six-time GRAMMY nominee. The project earned McBryde her second consecutive nomination for CMA Album of the Year, along with Music Video of the Year for “Light On In The Kitchen” from her latest critically acclaimed album, The Devil I Know.

Can we take a moment to appreciate Eric Church for not overshadowing Ashely's performance and really letting her shine. Class Act.

[ShellbieeLou]

Well.. now I'm crying. This was my grandfather. To a T. He raised me and taught me how to hunt and fish and all about the Lord. I was only 13 when he passed. Here I am now at 30 needing him more and more every day

[deeharris]

How can you not like this song .
Man I know I do..
Who's with me?

[johnramsey]

He really didn’t even want to sing... he’d rather step back and just listen to her... and I don’t blame him. Very humble and respectful.

[stevenwoollacott]

Love how she actually tells a story with her music, as does Eric, not many like them anymore.

Saw Ashley for the 1st time several years ago. She was the opening act for The Marshall Tucker Band at a little venue in Paducah, KY. This girl was having a seriously rough day, her bus broke down on the way to the show. So she got a rental car, grabbed her guitar and drove onto the show alone. She made it to the show, on stage, just her and her guitar, NO other band members, NO other instruments. Let me tell you SHE KICKED ASS! I was blown away! That girl hit a Home Run!! Since that moment I have been a fan. Seen her perform several times since and she never fails. She is a true professional, she's made of some pretty good stuff. Get to know her and her music, she's going to be around for a long time!

To this day I don't know why this woman is not played on every radio station across North America. Her music is A1 and true country

[Ferris]

This is real country that I grew up on, I’m 52 and love this. Her voice is amazing!!

[chrispeterson]

This song is word for word my dad, he’s been gone going on 7 years. This song hits home like a damn hammer. Thank you Ashley McBryde for this great song.

[TheGoldenEagle.oneandonly]

AMEN! 🙏🇺🇸❤️🔥every home should have a bible and a 44

[diehardcountry]

she is the Finally a real woman in country music! voice is amazing!

[Lunzie]

That song reminds me of my girls Dad!!! He was the most amazing man I’ve ever known! We dated for 2 yrs before we got married in November of 1972 and stayed married for 34 yrs before the Lord took him home in 2007. Have you ever loved someone so much that 14 yrs later after he passed you still love him that much??? We bought our first home when our firstborn daughter was 6 months old and 45 yrs later I’m still in that old house!!! He was a Marine that spent 2 tours in Vietnam and he was the kindest, most gentle man I’ve ever known!!! Don’t have any regrets and love the one you’re with!!!! That love can be taken away in a matter of months or seconds!!! Love you all for listening to 😘😘😘

[katerrykatjoplin]

You’re so blessed if you had a father worthy of this song. Some of us are blessed we survived in spite of our father’s. Stay safe everyone! 🇨🇦

[Jess-jsoh]

This song hits home.. I lost my dad 3 yrs ago to lung cancer, he was. A Coal Miner my whole life... He was an will always be my hero... I miss him so much....

[Klutch_Undercover]

Best female siner to come out in a long time. Her journey has been an emotional one and she pours her emotions into every song she sings.

[cobass]

I can't say I've heard a song lyrically like that in a VERY long time. Beautiful! Thank you.

[michelleNotImportant]

Beautiful, pure, and true vocals. No autotune and no clap track in the background. ... Just good music.

[barrybardo]

I don't know how she sings this song without breaking into tears every single time
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life

[Shyann]
