Happy Halloween! Dorothy Drops Video For New Single "Devil I Know"

The raven-haired rock star from Los Angeles, DOROTHY, returned this summer, with the scorching new single "MUD." She rode in on a black horse, equipped with leather and signature red lip, the rock world will once again be schooled in the undeniable chemistry that is alive and well amongst metal and rock loyalists and country badasses. A musical outlaw through and through, Dorothy's new single is a display of raw, full-bodied vocal power complimented by heavy-hitting instrumentation and riffs galore. The song is sitting at No. 3 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart and at No. 4 on the Active Rock Chart.

Earlier this month, the singer shared an explosive performance video of the song, something her legion of fans has been eager to see and hear. Watch it here. Dorothy also performed alongside Creed's Scott Stapp at the legendary Grand Ole Opry in Nashville on October 23. It served as the first-ever live performance of their duet "If These Walls Could Talk," an acoustic ballad that delivers two Grammy-worthy vocal performances that escalate to soaring climax as they depict the experience of suffering in silence. It also marked Dorothy's first time performing at this historic venue.

Today, she closes out a bustling and busy month by offering fans another new sonic gift in the form of the new track "The Devil I Know."

"'The Devil I Know' is a battle cry about the human condition and the spiritual warfare we engage in every day," the singer offers, sharing insight into the song's deeper meaning. "It's a prayer for help in time of need, laced with fury toward the demons that we fight against individually and collectively."

She continues, "This one also boasts a mean and heavy riff."

Mean and heavy, indeed!

The details of Dororthy's forthcoming fourth studio album will be announced in due course. Dorothy's discography thus far includes Gifts From the Holy Ghost (2022), which was inspired by a spiritual awakening, as well as ROCKISDEAD (2016), which inspired Roc Nation to sign the artist to the label, and 28 Days in the Valley(2018). The Budapest, Hungary-born stunner has enjoyed over 1 billion global streams combined across her career and has participated in high-profile collaborations with everyone from Staind to Slash of Guns N' Roses to Scott Stapp of Creed to Alice Cooper guitarist Nita Strauss, earning and ultimately cementing her place among the hard rock elite.

Last month, McBryde performed to sold out crowds across nine shows in the U.K., Ireland and Northern Ireland, with Music-News sharing in a review of her London show, “McBryde stands out for keeping true to herself, and for keeping it all very real and country…her arrival on stage tonight comes with a legend-like arrival.

About Ashley McBryde
GRAMMY, CMA and ACM award winner Ashley McBryde cut her teeth playing country songs in biker bars – and it shows. The Grand Ole Opry member’s 2018 major label debut Girl Going Nowhere (Warner Music Nashville) charmed The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, The Washington Post and more, all en route to landing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. McBryde closed out 2019 with ACM New Female Artist, CMT Breakout Artist, a New Artist of the Year win at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards and two nominations for the 2020 GRAMMYs for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for “Girl Goin’ Nowhere.” Her follow-up Never Will was tagged by Rolling Stone as one of the most anticipated of the year alongside NPR, who also ranked her Top 10 RIAA Platinum-Certified single “One Night Standards” as one of the best songs of 2019. The album earned McBryde a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making Never Will the only album nominated for Country Album of the Year by the ACMs, CMAs and the Recording Academy in the same award season. Her GRAMMY-winning duet with Carly Pearce, “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” went all the way to No. 1 and earned McBryde and Pearce the ACM and CMA award for Musical Event of the Year. McBryde was also honored with the 2022 CMA International Artist Achievement Award for the most significant creative growth, development and promotion of the country music industry outside of the United States. Her collaborative project Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville featuring Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammack, Aaron Raitiere and Benjy Davis earned McBryde her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making her a six-time GRAMMY nominee. The project earned McBryde her second consecutive nomination for CMA Album of the Year, along with Music Video of the Year for “Light On In The Kitchen” from her latest critically acclaimed album, The Devil I Know. McBryde is currently on her headlining The Devil I Know Tour Presented by Ariat and kicked off 2024 with a sold-out run of shows in the U.K., Ireland and Northern Ireland before returning to North America for the second leg in February.

Ashley McBryde Performs "The Devil I Know" on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon"

GRAMMY award winner and Grand Ole Opry member Ashley McBryde performed the title track from her critically acclaimed album The Devil I Know via Warner Music Nashville on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” yesterday, Thursday, December 7.

“Ashley McBryde writes about the outcasts – the best characters in her songs are downtrodden, stuck and determined as ever. ‘The Devil I Know’ is an anthem for all of them,” Vulture observes of the only country song on their top 10 “Best Songs of 2023,” while praising “McBryde knows the power of saying just enough — like painting a toxic relationship as ‘suitcase marks on a hardwood floor’ — and when to let everything boil over, which she expresses in a fiery chorus.”
 
“Arkansas native McBryde has deeply entrenched unflinching, blue-collar honesty as her trademark brand in country music,” boasts Tennessean, as Variety opines of the album, “the faithful already knew it would be one of the genre’s most satisfying efforts in 2023, even before she actually delivered on that promise with emotional ballads like ‘Light in the Kitchen,’ pure barnburners like ‘Made for This,’ or actual heart-destroyers like ‘Learned to Lie.’”
 
“The album’s songs are infectious and assured…Lyrically, they’re tighter than a bowline knot, bursting with colorful details,” boasts Garden & Gun, as Holler praises, “Once again weaving together country ditties, rock-tinged rompers and biker-bar riffs, with The Devil I Know, Ashley McBryde has plotted out an all-encompassing journey. The record features arena-sized regrets, a couple of classic country odes and a few bouts of bold and visceral vulnerability.”
 
As she gears up to close out the U.S. portion of the first leg of The Devil I Know Tour Presented by Ariat among multiple sold-out dates, McBryde will make a triumphant soon-to-be-sold-out return to the U.K. and Ireland at the top of the year. The second leg will kick off February 22 in Charleston, S.C. with tickets available at AshleyMcBryde.com.
 
Fans can watch McBryde perform “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” with Lindsey Stirling on CMA Country Christmas airing Thursday, December 14 at 8pm ET on ABC and Friday, December 15 on Hulu and Disney+.

Grand Ole Opry member Ashley McBryde announces additional dates to The Devil I Know Tour Presented by Ariat, kicking off the second leg Feb. 22 in Charleston, S.C. with 30 more dates scheduled across the U.S. through June 2024. The TRYBE presale will begin tomorrow, Nov. 14 at 10am local time, while public on sale will begin this Friday, Nov. 17 at 10am local time at AshleyMcBryde.com.

As a longtime fan of Ariat, McBryde and the brand have partnered since 2018. “It has been exciting to watch Ashley’s career grow over the past five years, and we couldn’t be more proud to support her headlining tour,” said Susan Alcala, VP Partnership Marketing at Ariat.
 
Named one of the most highly anticipated albums by both Los Angeles Times and Vulture, with the former naming her “one of Nashville’s most reliable and sophisticated songwriters,” The Devil I Know via Warner Music Nashville finds McBryde honing her calling card even further, as American Songwriter boasts, “Her lyrics can be heartrendingly tender one song, then unflinchingly biting the next.”
 
“More ruminative than crazed, the Saddle, Arkansas-born ragged rock/country songwriter delivers an exhale of acceptance that the chase is as much the reward as superstardom. Rather than raging against what’s not happening, she delivers a clear-eyed celebration of how alive being in the moment feels,” opines HITS, as Garden & Gun asserts, “The Devil I Know… could—and should—catapult her from being one of Music City’s favorite songwriters to its newest arena headliner. The album’s songs are infectious and assured.”
 
Last week, the Arkansas native earned a standing ovation for her performance of lead single and Music Video of the Year nominee “Light On In The Kitchen” at the 57th Annual CMA Awards, with Rolling Stone calling it “one of the most heartfelt moments of the evening,” that “cut through like a vital hymn full of homespun wisdom,” while Washington Post observed, “Ashley McBryde’s rendition of ‘Light On In the Kitchen’ was captivating as she was surrounded by glowing chandeliers.”
 
McBryde is currently on the first leg of The Devil I Know Tour Presented by Ariat with nine more dates in 2023 before a triumphant soon-to-be sold-out return to the U.K. and Ireland at the top of the year. For additional dates and information, visit AshleyMcBryde.com.

Ashley McBryde Delivers Highly Anticipated THE DEVIL I KNOW

With three nominations from the Country Music Association, including her fourth consecutive nod for Female Vocalist of the Year and third-for-three Album of the Year nominations, GRAMMY winner and Grand Ole Opry member Ashley McBryde releases The Devil I Know via Warner Music Nashville, featuring 11 tracks all cowritten by the Arkansas native. Listen to the album HERE.
 
“We can’t wait for you to dig into these songs that found a home on The Devil I Know,” shares McBryde. “Every decision that went into it had to pass a gut check, and I’m proud to say this entire record does just that. Thanks for coming along with us on this journey – we’re so glad you’re here.”

Lead single “Light On In The Kitchen” continues to climb the charts in the top 25 while earning a nomination for CMA Music Video of the Year. Directed by Reid Long and captured in a single take, American Songwriter observes, “Ashley McBryde showcases her storytelling soul,” while Rolling Stone praises of the track, “it’s a delicate ballad that feels ready for radio and the Grand Ole Opry stage but comes with mountains of good advice,” landing on their all-genre “The Best Songs of 2023 So Far.”
 
Opening track “Made For This” contains “hard-edged truths about the brutality of the life of a touring musician,” shares Billboard, and “Learned To Lie” earned a spot on Rolling Stone’s “The 20 Best Country Songs of 2023 So Far,” noting “McBryde tracks the lineage of an inveterate liar with clinical precision…her sneakily brilliant writing will floor you by song’s end.”
 
Recognized by Vulture as one of “The Best Songs of 2023 (So Far),” title track “The Devil I Know” is “the latest reminder of how special a mainstream country star McBryde is,” and asserts “McBryde still hasn’t lost her edge, showing off the country-rock chops that, if this industry were fair, would lead her to play this song in arenas just like fellow mavericks Chris Stapleton and Eric Church.”
 
Written with Trick Savage and Lainey Wilson, “Cool Little Bars” is a “wonderful ode to the dirty little dives we love,” sums up MusicRow, praising, “As if her singing and the songwriting weren’t brilliant enough, this has the most marvelous, crunchy, rocking-acoustic track on God’s green earth.”
 
With two wins and 15 career nominations from the Country Music Association, McBryde is also up for Album of the Year for Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville, produced by John Osborne. A collaborative effort, the project features performances from Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Aaron Raitiere, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammackand Benjy Davis and earned a title as one of the best albums of the year from NPR (the only country album), Rolling Stone (all-genre and Country), Billboard (all-genre and Country), Variety and Stereogum, among many more.
 
McBryde is currently on the road with headlining and festival stops, including a date at the Grand Ole Opry on September 23 followed by Pilgrimage Festival in Franklin, Tenn. on September 24, before embarking on The Devil I Know Tour Presented by Ariat in October.

Last week, McBryde released “Cool Little Bars,” a song she wrote with Lainey Wilson and Trick Savage, that pays tribute to the dive bars, holes in the wall and often locals-only establishments that shaped the early days of her career, with American Songwriter calling it a “catchy ditty that features the presence of harmonica to add a nostalgic feel.”

Title track “The Devil I Know” was named as one of Vulture’s “Best Songs of 2023 (So Far),” boasting, “McBryde still hasn’t lost her edge, showing off the country-rock chops that, if this industry were fair, would lead her to play this song in arenas just like fellow mavericks Chris Stapleton and Eric Church,” while album opener “Made For This” is a “guitar-heavy song accented by fast-paced drums has a rock vibe,” observes American Songwriter.

Ashley McBryde Releases “Cool Little Bars” from Highly Anticipated THE DEVIL I KNOW

As GRAMMY award winner Ashley McBryde gears up for the release of The Devil I Know on September 8 via Warner Music Nashville, the Grand Ole Opry member revisits her roots with the release of “Cool Little Bars,” paying tribute to the dives, holes in the wall and often locals-only establishments that shaped the early days of her career. Listen to the song and pre-add/pre-save The Devil I Know HERE.
 
“As y’all know, I have a huge appreciation for bars that have stood the test of time and have a lot of character,” shares McBryde. “I played them for many, many years, and I’m proud of the education I gained, and I’m proud to be able to give such bars credit for my entertainment style.
 
“In a time when so many of our staple establishments are being torn down to make room for far less charming, sterile and predictable gathering spaces, I thought we’d better celebrate the ones we have left and the ones we’ve yet to warm a seat in. With the help of Trick Savage and Lainey Wilson, I think we said it pretty good. So, thank you for dart boards, sticky table tops, bathrooms with broken stall doors and bartenders that can mix a drink while whoopin’ an ass. We see you and we need you. God bless cool little bars.”
 
Written by McBryde with Savage and Wilson, today’s release highlights what makes a place special along with the desire to see them persevere and provide a space for the misplaced:

Climbing the charts in the top 25, “Light On In The Kitchen” earned placement on Rolling Stone’s all-genre “Best Songs of 2023 So Far,” praising the lead single as a “gorgeous tribute to the women who helped shape her” with “luminous guitars and McBryde’s tender delivery,” calling it “a comfortable crash pad for anyone who might take solace in its messages of support.”
 
The Arkansas native followed with title track “The Devil I Know” featuring “a big Southern-rock chorus with a blast of distorted riffage,” observes Stereogum, and “Learned To Lie,” which landed on Rolling Stone’s “Best Country Songs of 2023 So Far” noting, “When it comes to original sin, the devil lies in the details, especially when you’re a crack storyteller. Ashley McBryde tracks the lineage of an inveterate liar with clinical precision…her sneakily brilliant writing will floor you by song’s end.”
 
Last month, McBryde released album opener “Made for This,” a “guitar-heavy song accented by fast-paced drums,” shares American Songwriter, “as McBryde sings about a strong desire to chase one’s dreams - and the work ethic to back it up.”

McBryde will perform at the Oregon Jamboree Music Festival 2023 in Sweet Home, Oregon this evening and will be on the road throughout the spring and summer for a slew of headlining and festival shows along with tour dates with Jelly Roll and Dierks Bentley.

On the heels of the announcement of her highly anticipated album The Devil I Know set for September 8 via Warner Music Nashville, GRAMMY award winner Ashley McBryde releases album opener “Made For This.” Pre-order The Devil I Know HERE.
 
“Travis Meadows and I wrote ‘Made For This,’ and at the time, I was still touring in a van and he was using his truck, so we definitely had touring and the life of musicians top of mind,” shares McBryde. “But this song reaches beyond that. It’s not just touring musicians and bands and crews who are on the road 200+ days a year who are ‘calling home for a telephone goodnight kiss.’ It’s also members of our military, our truck drivers and those that work long or odd hours sacrificing time with their family. We’re lucky we’re made for this.”
 
Written by McBryde and Meadows, “Made For This” has been a live staple for McBryde and her band Deadhorse, chronicling the long nights spent pursuing a dream, and now finally released as a studio recording:
 
       ‘Cause most days you’re stuck in a truck
        One big break from blowing up
       But one of these days you’re gonna get a bus
       And let somebody else drive
       But right now it’s just Adderall, alcohol
       Your dressing room is a bathroom stall
       ‘Cause you turn it on when the big man calls
       ‘Cause he ain’t gonna call you twice
       And it’s calling home for a telephone goodnight kiss
       Ya gotta be made for this
 
Titled after today’s release, season two of McBryde’s “Made For This” web series will premiere Monday, July 10 at 11 a.m. CT. The series follows McBryde, her band and crew as they travel around the world. From backstage, to the tour bus, to off days, each episode gives a unique, insider perspective on the life of a touring musician.
 
Climbing the charts and approaching the top 25, “Light On In The Kitchen” continues to receive applause from critics, earning placement on Rolling Stone’s all-genre “Best Songs of 2023 So Far” while praising the lead single as a “gorgeous tribute to the women who helped shape her” with “luminous guitars and McBryde’s tender delivery,” calling it “a comfortable crash pad for anyone who might take solace in its messages of support.”
 
The Arkansas native followed with title track “The Devil I Know” featuring “a big Southern-rock chorus with a blast of distorted riffage,” observes Stereogum, and “Learned To Lie,” which landed on Rolling Stone’s “Best Country Songs of 2023 So Far” sharing, “When it comes to original sin, the devil lies in the details, especially when you’re a crack storyteller. Ashley McBryde tracks the lineage of an inveterate liar with clinical precision…her sneakily brilliant writing will floor you by song’s end.”
 
McBryde recently accepted the Billboard Country Power Players Groundbreaker Award, calling her “one of country’s great storytellers – without ever compromising” and noting, “after years of pounding the Nashville pavement, this year’s Groundbreaker has carved out a sweet spot between niche Americana and stadium-scale country-pop.”
 
As she returned to Nissan Stadium for CMA Fest’s 50th anniversary last month, McBryde will be featured in the CMA Fest television special airing on July 19 at 7 p.m. CT on ABC.
 
Performing tonight at Wenonah Park in Bay City, Michigan, McBryde will be on the road with headlining shows and festival stops throughout the summer along with dates on Jelly Roll’s Back Road Baptism Tour 2023 and a night with Dierks Bentley at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado before returning to Middle Tennessee for Pilgrimage Festival in Franklin on September 24.

The Grand Ole Opry member’s 2018 major label debut Girl Going Nowhere (Warner Music Nashville) charmed The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, The Washington Post and more, all en route to landing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. McBryde closed out 2019 with ACM New Female Artist, CMT Breakout Artist, a New Artist of the Year win at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards and two nominations for the 2020 GRAMMYs for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for “Girl Goin’ Nowhere.” Her follow-up Never Will was tagged by Rolling Stone as one of the most anticipated of the year alongside NPR, who also ranked her Top 10 RIAA Platinum-Certified single “One Night Standards” as one of the best songs of 2019. The album earned McBryde a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making Never Will the only album nominated for Country Album of the Year by the ACMs, CMAs and the Recording Academy in the same award season. Her GRAMMY-winning duet with Carly Pearce, “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” went all the way to No. 1 and earned McBryde and Pearce the ACM and CMA award for Musical Event of the Year. McBryde was also honored with the 2022 CMA International Artist Achievement Award for the most significant creative growth, development and promotion of the country music industry outside of the United States. Her collaborative project Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville featuring Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammack, Aaron Raitiere and Benjy Davis earned McBryde her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making her a six-time GRAMMY nominee. Upon its release, Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville garnered applause from The New York Times, NPR, Variety, Vulture, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Billboard andStereogum, among many more. With 11 songs all co-written by the Arkansas native, The Devil I Know is set for release on September 8, featuring chart-climbing lead single “Light On In The Kitchen,” along with the recently released title track, “Learned To Lie” and album opener “Made For This.” McBryde is currently on the road with headlining shows and festival stops throughout the summer along with dates on Jelly Roll’s Back Road Baptism Tour 2023 and a night with Dierks Bentley at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado before returning to Middle Tennessee for Pilgrimage Festival in Franklin on September 24.

Ashley McBryde Sets THE DEVIL I KNOW for September 8; "Learned To Lie" Available Now

GRAMMY AWARD WINNER ASHLEY McBRYDE SETS
THE DEVIL I KNOW FOR SEPTEMBER 8
 
New Song “Learned To Lie” Available Now
 
Current Single “Light On In The Kitchen” Continues Climbing Country Charts

GRAMMY Award winner Ashley McBryde has made a name for herself with her standout, critically acclaimed albums, all of which found the Arkansas native straddling lines between traditional country, rock-tinged roots and point-blank biker-bar riffs, leading American Songwriter to boast her “music balances gutsy rocking with classic country, folk and even slight bluegrass influences.” With The Devil I Know, set for release Sept. 8 via Warner Music Nashville, the Grand Ole Opry member and her band Deadhorse honed in and sharpened what it is they do best.
 
“When it was time to put together The Devil I Know, my band and I did what we always do: got together in the purple building in East Nashville, played through a bunch of songs and discussed where we wanted it to go,” shares McBryde. “We decided to take all the things that people tend to give us a hard time for and turn it up.
 
“‘Y’all are too country.’ We leaned into that – more country it is. ‘Y’all are awfully rock leaning for a country artist.’ Is that so? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. ‘Last thing y’all need is another tender, finger pickin’ song.’ Oh? Tender makes you uneasy, cowboy? I hear you. Let’s see how much more tender we can be. We listened to all those opinions and said, ‘I hear you. I understand what you’re saying.’ But sadly, there’s no room on the record for your opinion. We’ll do what we want.”
 
Accompanying today’s announcement is the release of “Learned To Lie,” a striking example of McBryde’s songwriting vulnerability:
 
       I traced it back to a couple months before I was born
       Must’ve heard my momma tell my daddy
      That she was tired ’cause babies make you tired
      But deep down she was just unhappy
      I think my father did the best that he could do
      He rarely made it to the dinner table
      Said he was working late, but he was working late
      Fogging up the windows of an ’89 Sable
 
       I, I learned to cry
      Quietly I learned to pray
      Silently inside a house where the devil played
      And I hate that it runs in my blood
      I hate how easy it comes
     I wish I’d learned how to love the same way I
     Learned to lie

“‘Learned to Lie’ was a hard one; I wrote it with Sean McConnell and Nicolette Hayford,” McBryde reflects. “After it was written, I called my mom to let her know that I had told a little bit more of our story as a family. I said, ‘It’s going to be hard to hear, but none of it is untrue.’”
 
McBryde’s truth-telling is delivered a little softer in current chart-climbing single “Light On In The Kitchen” that The New York Times praised, “Ashley McBryde maintains her position as country’s most down-to-earth songwriter,” while the title track “The Devil I Know” showcases her aptitude for turning it up, with Stereogumsharing the song “starts out quiet and acoustic before flaring up into a big Southern-rock chorus with a blast of distorted riffage.”
 
Tonight, McBryde performs at the BackCountry Festival in Gardnerville, Nevada before returning to Nashville for CMA Fest’s 50th Anniversary at Nissan Stadium next week. McBryde will be on the road throughout the spring and summer for a slew of headlining and festival shows along with tour dates with Eric Church and Jelly Roll.
