Description //Warner Records Nashville// £32.99 – 1xLP, Limited Select Retailers Exclusive “Wide Open Skies” LP with *Signed* Insert On her fifth studio album, Wild, Grand Ole Opry Member and GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM Award-winning singer-songwriter, Ashley McBryde, uncovers the deepest layers of her lived experience, raw, honest, and unvarnished like never before. From the grit and grind of growing up in the shadow of Arkansas’s Ozark Mountains, to the enduring echo of her fundamentalist upbringing; the fallout of drinking too much and hard-won reckoning that led her to sobriety to the trauma passed down through her lineage. When matched with McBryde’s thrilling collision of timeless country and blistering rock & roll, the result is equal parts daring autobiography and courageous reclamation of her most untamed nature. Produced by Lindeville collaborator and producer, John Osborne (Brothers Osborne), and recorded with her live band, Wild traces a captivating narrative that culminates in the moment just before McBryde quit drinking. “When people hear this record, I hope it wakes up the part of them that I’m singing about—the part that still believes in those unrealized dreams and untaken risks,” says McBryde. “I believe that wild little kid is still alive inside of all of us, and that’s the version of everyone that I want to sing to.”
