ALBUM DESCRIPTION
Eric Church has called Ashley McBryde his favorite new artist, and he's sure to love the songwriter's second album, which is stamped with Church hallmarks: clever, poetic lyrics, sizzling guitars and a marked lack of any unnecessary frills. In fact, he might be downright jealous of "One Night Standards," with lines like "How it goes is/the bar closes/there's no king bed covered in roses." McBryde also shares Church's love of outlaw culture on tracks like the honky-tonk "First Thing I Reach For" and headbanging "Voo Doo Doll." And while country songs usually take the gospel as, well, gospel, on "Shut Up Sheila" a grieving McBryde dares to tell bible thumpers where they can shove their thoughts and prayers. The album runs the gamut from bittersweet ballads ("Sparrow") to John Cougar-style hip-shakers ("Hang In There"), haunting O Brother, Where Art Thou? simplicity ("Velvet Red") to the rocking "Martha Divine," which echoes Jason Isbell. Throughout, there's a streak of anger and pain over McBryde's brother's suicide; "Stone" is an absolute heartbreaker. Add it all up, and Never Will cements McBryde's place on Music Row for a long time to come. © Shelly Ridenour / Qobuz
