About this episode

The episode discusses Ashley McBryde's new album 'Wild' and its impact on the country rock genre.

Ashley McBrydes new album Wild is a bold move, amping up the rock edge in country music. The lead single Rattlesnake Preacher lets her inner rock star shine, while tracks like What If We Don’t pack emotional punch.
