Ashland Craft Drops ‘Dive Bar Beauty Queen (Deluxe)’
Ashland Craft has released Dive Bar Beauty Queen (Deluxe), an expanded edition of her sophomore album featuring collaborations with some of her country friends.
The project adds several collabs to the original collection, including “Yard Sale” featuring Ashley McBryde and Mae Estes, “Momma Don’t Pray Like She Used To” with Chase Rice and “Hangin’ Up the Honkytonk” alongside Dillon Carmichael. The deluxe edition also includes the new focus track, “Doesn’t Have To Be That Way,” a duet with Tyce Delk that showcases Craft’s ability to capture life’s complicated emotions. The additional tracks deepen the album’s themes of resilience, heartbreak, humor, and hard-earned wisdom while further highlighting the unfiltered storytelling that has become Craft’s trademark.
“Some things are even better the second go round,” shares Craft. “Dive Bar Beauty Queen Deluxe is finally here, featuring some of my favorite folks on the country scene! It was so much fun to think about who we wanted on these tracks, and watch them bring these songs to life even more. I hope y’all will crank these songs with your friends, make some good memories, and find a piece of your story in each tune!”
One of the standout tracks on Dive Bar Beauty Queen, “Kick Rocks Cowboy,” serves as a bold tribute to the real American cowboy and spent weeks in the top 40 on the MusicRow Chart. The video for the track featured viral sensation Orry “Cornbread Cowboi” Lee, reality star/country artist Logan Crosby, and country artist (and real-life saddle bronc rider) Chancey Williams – all co-starring as they vie for the top cowboy crown.
