Ashley McBryde: ‘Never Will: Live From a Distance’ – Review
Singer-songwriter, Ashley McBryde has been slowly releasing live tracks from her sophomore album Never Will since February. Today, she released a live recording of “Sparrow,” completing the 6-track EP.
The collection features the funny, yet vulnerable “First Thing I Reach For;” “Shut Up Sheila;” the ukulele-driven “Velvet Red,” the fiery “Voodoo Doll,” the current single, “Martha Divine,” and the emotional “Sparrow.” The live recordings sound nearly identical to the studio versions, which is a testament to McBryde’s talent and authenticity.
