.AshleyMcBryde details how her new Lindeville album about small town living came to be, and why it’s an important nod to the past.
will help to maintain that status. Showcasing her penchant for tightly-curated character studies, the project takes various characters from the same fictional town and explores what happens when their stories intertwine.
The town’s name of Lindeville nods to songwriter Dennis Linde, who wrote Elvis’ “Burnin’ Love,” and “Callin’ Baton Rouge,” which had originally been recorded by the Oak Ridge Boys and New Grass Revival before becoming a smash hit for Garth Brooks in 1994.

“Play Ball,” with lead vocals from Brothers Osborne’s TJ Osborne, offers the tale of Pete, a kind-hearted man who “chalks the ballfields at Dennis Linde park…he lost his wife to cancer and a thumb in Vietnam.” Even the dogs of Lindeville get their own moment, as the wry wit of “If These Dogs Could Talk” highlights vocals from Clark.
“Gospel Night at the Strip Club” serves as one of the project’s most gripping, soul-searching pulses, depicting a bartender who offers late-night sojourners a place at the bar to pour out their pain, a place as good as any church pew.
