| Exclusive - Ashton Shepherd - Sounds So Good - Full Album - 2008Ashton Shepherd "Sounds So Good" MP3 | Average VBR 256 Kbps 48000 Stereo | 40:49 | 76:56Mb 2008 | Genre: Country | SongwriterIt’s tough for some traditional country fans to admit that the days when every budding country music star steps off the bus in Nashville from the cotton fields of Dyess, Arkansas or the coal mines of Butcher Holler, Kentucky are over. This shift accelerated in the 1990s, when Windsor, Ontario native Shania Twain became the best selling female artist of all time and shared the airwaves with, of all people, Princeton, New Jersey born singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter.Against this backdrop emerges Ashton Shepherd, who comes to Nashville from Coffee ville, Alabama by way of Leroy. A mother and wife by age 19 with a syrupy sweet drawl and self-penned songs about getting drunk and falling out of love, it’s hard for traditionalists not to celebrate MCA’s new artist as the second coming, a messiah to save country radio from all those Barbie Dolls who’d rather wiggle their glittering fuchsia toenails on MTV than sing Webb Pierce songs with the house band at some Alabama honky tonk. Sounds So Good, the debut album from this much-anticipated artist, makes it difficult to confuse Ashton with female artists in this other group. She doesn’t sing handpicked pop-country gumdrops from top Nashville songwriters but 11 tracks written solely by Shepherd and her brother-in-law Adam Cunningham.Producer Buddy Cannon has worked hard to give Ashton a sound that is undeniably traditional yet surprisingly not far afield from pop-country radio polish. The album’s heavy on steel guitar, nasal twang and drawn-out vowels.
On September 29, 2007, Ashton made her debut on the Grand Ole Opry which was the same night Porter Wagoner made his last appearance. During her first performance, Little Jimmy Dickens remarked to onlookers in the wings, “that girl has never heard a pop song in her life,” while at the night’s second show, host Bill Anderson shared Buddy Cannon’s observations that “this girl’s so country she makes Loretta Lynn sound like she’s from Liverpool.” To Ashton’s credit, her debut album doesn’t attempt to validate those observations. It’s not a statement for traditional country music, and it’s not devoid of Nashville tricks and polish. Rather, it’s an album by a woman who’s from the country and is singing what she knows about, and it 'Sounds So Good'.Track List:01 - Takin' Off This Pain 02 - Sounds So Good 03 - Lost In You 04 - I Ain't Dead Yet 05 - Not Right Now 06 - Old Memory 07 - Pickin' Shed 08 - Regular Joe 09 - How Big Are Angel Wings 10 - Bigger The Heart 11 - Whiskey Won The BattleRapidShareEgoShareFiles.ToSpeedShareE n J Y-------------------- | |
