New track follows “Light On In The Kitchen”
Ashley McBryde releases “The Devil I Know” via Warner Music Nashville. The Grammy Award winning country artist teases her forthcoming studio album set for a fall release.
“We’re always hearing something from somebody who thinks they know what’s best for us,” shares McBryde. “Lose weight, your hair’s too curly, change this, change that. Things just seem to go better when you trust your own lens to see what’s good for you.”
Written by McBryde with Jeremy Stover and Bobby Pinson, “The Devil I Know” opens with peppy finger-strummed acoustic as the Arkansas-native lilts through the first verse before exploding into a vigorous drum blast and distortion heavy guitars ahead of the nearly a capella chorus, save for rhythmic hand clapping and harmonics:
“Momma says get my ass my to church / Daddy says get my ass to work / Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes / Everybody’s got something to say / About how I gotta change my ways / Well, I got something to say of my own / Hell, there’s hell everywhere I go / So I’m sticking with the devil I know”
The song follows McBryde’s current chart-climbing single “Light On In The Kitchen” which is climbing country radio.
Earlier this week, the CMT Music Awards saw her join Wynonna for a performance of Foreigner’s 1984 hit “I Want to Know What Love Is.” The Arkansas native also gave a stirring performance of “Light On In The Kitchen,” which aired during the extended cut of the show.
Next week, McBryde will return to the Grand Ole Opry before heading back out on the road throughout the spring and summer for a slew of headlining shows and tour dates with Eric Church and Jelly Roll.
