Ashley Monroe – Live At Third Man Records

She’s at her best when she not only has a guitar in her hands, but a pencil too. She’s 1/3 of Pistol Annies, 1/2 of the Cherry Sisters, 2 parts sugar, 1 part spice. She’s a East Tennessee gal in a Tennessee town with a new record out and a Grammy nomination to show for it. She’s a storyteller / truth seller / good speller. Hers is a regular name to see on the liner notes of the records you love, and it wouldn’t surprise us one bit if you love the records you love because her name is on the liner notes. Ashley Monroe is the name, and she’s no stranger to the stage of our Blue room. The first time Ashley Monroe sang at Third Man Records, it was with Wanda Jackson for her “Live at Third Man Records,” LP released as part of Vault Package #9. (One of our favorites.) The next time Ashley Monroe sang at Third Man Records, it was with Willie Nelson for his special 80th Birthday CMT Crossroads Live at Third Man Records performance, released as Vault Package #17. The last time Ashley Monroe sang at Third Man Records, it was May 2015 to record her very own Live at Third Man Records 12″ LP, recorded direct-to-acetate in the Blue Room. And girl, oh girl, it was a beautiful night. So, without further ado, we are pleased to present this brand new live record, currently being brought to life by the storied machines at Nashville’s United Record Pressing.
