Ashley Campbell To Release Something Lovely On October 9

Artist: Ashley Campbell

Album: Something Lovely

Label: Vacancy Records

Release date: October 9

Songwriter. Singer. Banjo player. Ashley Campbell juggles all three roles, armed with the ability not only to dream up a modern country song, but to deliver it, too. And now she will be releasing her second solo project, an album titled Something Lovely on Vacancy Records on October 9. 

Already known for her work alongside her father, country legend Glen Campbell — who, during his final years as a touring musician, leaned heavily on his youngest daughter as a banjo player, keyboardist and harmony vocalist — Ashley is now stepping out on her own. Her music is a mix of her wide-ranging influences, combining the old-school country sound popularized by her fa-ther during the '60s and '70s with contemporary Americana, rootsy folk and country-pop. Glen Campbell's longtime fans may hear something familiar in Ashley's melodies as she embraces these similarities while distinguishing herself as a talented frontwoman.

The album features twelve new tracks, including the forthcoming single, album title track ‘Something Lovely’ which will be released on the 28th of August. The follow up single ‘If I Wasn’t’ featuring Vince Gill will be released September 18th. Ashley Campbell’s hard-wired musicality, clarity and easy lyrical delivery gives this collection a classic feel but the songwriting and production are right up to the minute. She’s also an accomplished musician contributing both guitar and her trademark banjo to this album; the ‘Moustache Man’ is a pacey instrumental. There’s an eclectic range to this album, from the woozy appeal of the likes of ‘Forever’s Not That Long’ (which sounds like it could have been delivered by Glen) and ‘Walk On By’ to the ‘Western Waltz’ feel of ‘Moonlight’. The album finishes with a stylish take on the Beach Boys’ evergreen ‘Good Vibrations’.

“When I set out to build a team, I only wanted to work with people who are as passionate about the music as I am. I think I found that passion in these badass Scots! I couldn’t be more thrilled to be joining up with Vacancy Records for my second album. Can’t wait to share the music “
