She doesn't miss. Today, Ashley McBryde released a new single called "Ain't Enough Cowboy Songs," the first we've heard from her since she put out her The Devil I Know album in 2023. Written by Ashley along with Chris Harris and Patrick Savage, the song is a love letter to the west and the values that shaped the cowboy way of life. Ashley says that it represents a dying culture and idealism: "This one was all about where we live and the genre we love and realizing that the horse I rode in on got put out to pasture. Instead of us saying, ‘Work ethic’s out the window, stick-to-it code’s pretty much dead and idealism is gone,’ it was easier to say that by saying there is no wild out west. That’s all gone." Sadly, that feels all too accurate, and she puts it beautifully in the lyrics: "There’s a few of us left tryin’ to circle the wagons, But we’re barely holdin’ our ground Cause we ain’t got pistols or shiny tin badges, And we ain’t the law in this town And I’d love to ride into the sunset, but there’s no wild out west, No prairie to roam or a high enough lonesome to get far enough gone There ain’t enough cowboy songs" I'm so happy to have a new one to spin from her, and hopefully, it's just the beginning of more new music to come next year. Ashley already has a full tour schedule for 2025 too, which includes quite a few festival dates, as well as a slot opening for Cody Johnson early in the new year. She is such an incredible talent, and an incredibly bright spot in mainstream country who deserves all of the positive recognition and attention and more... she's as real as they come, with a gritty, straight-to-the-point writing style and show-stopping voice. If you're looking for someone who is a genuine artist, with the songwriting chops and vocal ability to back it up, Ashley should be at the top of the list. Listen to her new song below.
