Ashley Monroe Releases Live Album Recorded At Nashville’s Station Inn

/by

Ashley Monroe has released Dear Nashville (Live At The Station Inn), a live album captured during Monroe’s two sold-out performances of her concept album Dear Nashville at The Station Inn earlier this year.

The new 10-song live project features co-producer and co-writer Luke Laird and pedal steel guitarist Paul Franklin, and includes songs from Dear Nashville along with covers of Patty Loveless’ “Nothing But The Wheel” and Vince Gill’s “Whenever You Come Around.”

“Performing the Dear Nashville record with Paul Franklin and Luke Laird at the Station Inn will go down as one of the most magical nights of my entire career,” says Monroe. “The audience knew every word and completely blew us away. I truly feel like it was one of the purest forms of musical expression I’ve ever surrendered to, and I hope you can feel the spirit of that night when you listen to the live record.”

Laird adds, “The whole experience of making the album with Ashley is one of the most creatively fulfilling things I’ve ever been a part of. To have the opportunity to play it top to bottom at the legendary Station Inn with Ashley and Paul is one of those pinch me moments.”

“This recording is a musical time capsule,” says Franklin. “It captures a very special night marking the exact date when three like minded artists bonded through these amazing songs. Ashley’s voice was stellar, pouring out her heart and soul. I will never forget this moment!”

Following the album’s release, Monroe has been releasing videos to accompany each track. The video for album opener “I Hate Nashville” was shot at The Station Inn, while the video for “Steal” found Monroe reflecting on moments from across her career – from collaborating with Jack White, to sharing the stage with John Prine, and hanging out with her Pistol Annies bandmates. She also released videos for “Haunted,” “Gettin’ Out Of Hand,” “What Are We?” and “Dreaming.”

Next month, Monroe will hit the road for a joint mini-tour with Charlie Worsham that will include a stop at the Station Inn in Nashville on Nov. 16.
