Ashley McBryde - Girl Going Nowhere (2018) [Hi-Res]

Rising star Ashley McBryde is gearing up for the release of her debut album titled "Girl Going Nowhere," inspired by a teacher who doubted her dreams.

Arkansas native and rising country artist Ashley McBryde will release her debut studio album, Girl Going Nowhere, on March 30th. Sometimes artists give a shout-out to the people who believed in them throughout their journey to stardom. McBryde’s inspiration, however, came from a different source.

Back in her home town, an algebra teacher told McBryde that she would never achieve her singing dreams.

Now, the “Arkansas red-clay badass,” nicknamed by Rolling Stone, feels satisfaction as she releases her new album for the world to hear! The album is a collection of stories, representative of her honest and authentic attitude while living life to the fullest. It also showcases her artistic talent and vision as she brings a unique mood to the pop-country genre.

“I’m not a pretty crier, and I got to my write with Jeremy Bussey that morning, red and blotchy,” McBryde said in a press statement. “So, he said, ‘for Guy, maybe we should write a good song, one you’d want to play at the Opry someday.’ So, I told the story of when I was back in Algebra class, and we were going around the room saying what we wanted to do when we grew up. When it got to me, I said, ‘I’m going to move to Nashville and write songs, and they’re going to be on the radio.’ The teacher looked at me and said, ‘That won’t happen and you better have a good backup plan.’ It didn’t put the fire out, it just added to it.”
