McBryde has hopes for "One Night Standards"
"One Night Standards" was released today.
McBryde was sitting in a writer's room of her management office in East Nashville earlier this year with "Girl Going Nowhere's" "Livin' Next to Leroy" and "A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega" co-writer Nicolette Hayford.
They came up with the lines, "It ain't somethin', I wanna spend a lot of time in... I ain't gonna stay for the weekend..." before noting, "there's something in that notion that not everything has to last forever."
"We had to walk away from it to give it a second to breathe," McBryde said. "When we got back in a room, this time Shane (McAnally) was with us, and I joked, 'You know, hotel rooms...they only have one night stand for a reason. They're one night stand-ers.' Shane and Nic's eyes lit up, 'Did you just say one night standards?'"
So they came up with the lyrics:
It's just a room key, you ain't gotta lie to me
Can't you just use me, like I'm using you
How it goes is, the bar closes
There's no king bed covered in roses
Just a room, without a view
I don't want a number you ain't gonna answer
Let's just stick to the one night standards
McBryde is once again working with producer Jay Joyce and her band: Quinn Hill on drums, Chris Sancho on bass, Matt Helmkamp on electric guitar (along with McBryde and Joyce), Chris Harris on background vocals and acoustic guitar (Joyce also plays on acoustic and keys).

CD reviews for Ashley McBryde
Ashley McBryde titled this six-song EP "Never Will: Live From a Distance," but just don't expect it to sound much like a typical live album. These songs were recorded live so fans could hear what they sound like live, it's true, but you won't hear any crowd cheering on it – just the music alone. With that said, though, it represents the cream of McBryde's quite productive crop.
A couple of these songs lean toward McBryde's gothic side. ...
One of Ashley McBryde's breakthrough hits was the autobiographical "Girl Goin' Nowhere," about people who had cruelly cast doubts upon her music career aspirations. Now, in an act akin to paying it forward, McBryde opens with "Hang In There Girl," which admonishes a woman to keep on fighting the good fight because - eventually - it gets better. These 11 new songs prove McBryde is still going places, fascinating places.
