"I'm so glad that Ashton Shepherd made it. I love real country music, and I know what it sounds like. There's no filler on this album. Each song is worth listening to, and there's plenty of twang, cryin' steel guitar, and drinkin'.
Her voice is amazing and powerful, similar to Patty Loveless and Sara Evans. Anyone who appreciates real county music will love this album. There aren't any songs that totally stood out as "new" or "different", but at the same time they don't seem like recycled or retreaded music (Think Kenny Chesney/Rascal Flatts).
She has serious songs like "How Big Are Angel Wings", cryin' songs "Old Memory", good upbeat songs about drinkin' and geetar pickin' like her first single "Takin' Off this Pain", "Sounds So Good", and "The Pickin' Shed."
Great album. I'd also highly recommend Sarah Johns' album, "Big Love in a Small Town."
Keep it country!"

"I am a 30-year-old female and I have been listening to this album nonstop. Ashton's voice is strong and confident, and I love that she co-wrote almost every song! A nice change of pace from Carrie Underwood/Taylor Swift/Kellie Pickler. This music has authenticity. Try listening; you'll like it."
Finally Real Country!

"This album is a refreshing splash of real country into a pool of pop and voiced over music. Ashton Shepherd brings back what country should sound like, not what we hear today from cop outs like Rascal Flatts and pop princesses like Taylor Swift. This album has a sound like that of Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, and George Jones, real country singers. Every song has that unique traditional sound that is so easy to listen to. Keep up the good work Ashton and all you real country fans don't pass this album up!"
If you like real country...

"No pop fluff here. Ashton's record is for fans of the music made by Gretchen Wilson, Miranda Lambert, and Tanya Tucker. She's the real deal!"
