Ashley McBryde Hails Her Untamed Spirit On New LP ‘Wild’

/by

Ashley McBryde will release her fifth studio album, Wild, on May 8 via Warner Records Nashville. McBryde will offer fans another taste of the new project with “Bottle Tells Me So,” out tomorrow (March 20).

Wild was produced by Lindeville collaborator John Osborne of Brothers Osborne and recorded with McBryde’s live band, Deadhorse, the project explores McBryde’s journey with sobriety, the impacts of a fundamentalist upbringing and the realities of generational traumas.

“When people hear this record, I hope it wakes up the part of them that I’m singing about in Wild—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.”

“Ashley McBryde is a rare gem,” shares Osborne. “There are people out there with natural ability and there are people that dedicate every waking hour to honing their craft. Ashley is both. Never settling. Always reaching. The perfect combination of vulnerable and fearless.”

Wild is previewed by early releases “Rattlesnake Preacher,” “Arkansas Mud” and current single, “What If We Don’t,” which was the No. 1 most-added single of the week upon impact and earned McBryde the biggest add date of her career.

Tonight (March 19) and tomorrow night, McBryde returns to her Redemption Residency at Chief’s Neon Steeple in Nashville for a second set of sold-out “Just Me and My Shadow” solo acoustic shows.
