She's at her best when she not only has a guitar in her hands, but a pencil too. She's 1/3 of Pistol Annies, 1/2 of the Cherry Sisters, 2 parts sugar, 1 part spice. She’s a East Tennessee gal in a Tennessee town with a new record out and a Grammy nomination to show for it. She's a storyteller / truth seller / good speller. Hers is a regular name to see on the liner notes of the records you love, and it wouldn't surprise us one bit if you love the records you love because her name is on the liner notes.
Ashley Monroe is the name, and she's no stranger to the stage of our Blue room. The first time Ashley Monroe sang at Third Man Records, it was with Wanda Jackson for her "Live at Third Man Records," LP released as part of Vault Package #9. (One of our favorites.) The next time Ashley Monroe sang at Third Man Records, it was with Willie Nelson for his special 80th Birthday CMT Crossroads Live at Third Man Records performance, released as Vault Package #17. The last time Ashley Monroe sang at Third Man Records, it was May 2015 to record her very own Live at Third Man Records 12" LP, recorded direct-to-acetate in the Blue Room. And girl, oh girl, it was a beautiful night. So, without further ado, we are pleased to present this brand new live record, currently being brought to life by the storied machines at Nashville's United Record Pressing, for you to pre-order TODAY.
You say the most quizzical things, @Apple_Blossom. ;) Youre not buyin “it”? What. Statements above? Ashley’s release? because you’re trying to conserve..? Quizzical…anyway, love that Ashley (and Margo) are keeping the traditional country/western sound alive and moving it forward with new songs and those great voices.
So many good releases makes me think in terms of conservation… Lately i have been wondering what music Tesla preferred
Im not buyin it
Love her voice- Just pre-ordered. She has a super throwback country vibe to her and that is all too rare in today’s country music. I am excited to share this with my father a “Country/Western” fan from wayyyyy back. He will love it too. Thanks TMR for keeping great music alive!
Listened to my Black & Blue of this twice last night. Just as magical as I remembered! Can’t wait to see the next time she’ll grace the stage of the Blue Room!
