Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Ashton Shepherd arrives at Sounds So Good, her memorable 2008 debut, with a long line of remarkable women to thank, starting with the feisty Loretta Lynn and leading all the way up to country’s current wild child, Miranda Lambert. A deep-dish Alabaman (she says “pitcher” for “picture”) Shepherd is a good ol’ gal who knows what she likes (in this case, a pint of Crown and hard country music), and more importantly what she won’t stand for. If Lynn always stopped short of leaving her philandering husband, Shepherd, Loretta’s spiritual granddaughter and already “old” at 21, packs her bags, “Takin’ Off This Pain” with her wedding ring. In essence, as producer Buddy Cannon (Kenny Chesney) helps frame her, Shepherd is every pent-up housewife and mother with a 100-proof wild streak, minus Lambert’s wounded danger. But as the writer or co-writer of nearly every song, she also knows her way around a big romantic ballad (“Lost in You”), and a Dolly-esque dying child weeper (“How Big Are Angel Wings”). Vocally, Shepherd recalls Sara Evans’ nasality in the mid-tempo title track, and the Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines in too many places to count, even as her hard-bitten accent and pedal steel filigree keep her from blurring those artists’ stylistic lines. Bottom line: Watch for Shepherd to follow Gretchen Wilson in restoring the chick to redneck pride. -– Alanna Nash

Product Description
Ashton's debut album, Sounds So Good, is scheduled for a March 4, 2008 release. The album features the lead single, "Takin' Off This Pain". She also made a video for the song, which was premiered in December of 2007 on CMT and GAC.

4.0 out of 5 stars Authentic Country Music, March 16, 2008
By D. Dan "DP" (San Rafael, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm so glad that Ashton Shepherd made it. I love real country music, and I know what it sounds like. There's no filler on this album. Each song is worth listening to, and there's plenty of twang, cryin' steel guitar, and drinkin'.

Her voice is amazing and powerful, similar to Patty Loveless and Sara Evans. Anyone who appreciates real county music will love this album. There aren't any songs that totally stood out as "new" or "different", but at the same time they don't seem like recycled or retreaded music (Think Kenny Chesney/Rascal Flatts).

She has serious songs like "How Big Are Angel Wings", cryin' songs "Old Memory", good upbeat songs about drinkin' and geetar pickin' like her first single "Takin' Off this Pain", "Sounds So Good", and "The Pickin' Shed."

Great album. I'd also highly recommend Sarah Johns' album, "Big Love in a Small Town."

Keep it country!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Real Country!, April 26, 2008
By D. Morales (Tucson, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews
This album is a refreshing splash of real country into a pool of pop and voiced over music. Ashton Shepherd brings back what country should sound like, not what we hear today from cop outs like Rascal Flatts and pop princesses like Taylor Swift. This album has a sound like that of Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, and George Jones, real country singers. Every song has that unique traditional sound that is so easy to listen to. Keep up the good work Ashton and all you real country fans don't pass this album up!

5.0 out of 5 stars SO GOOD WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE, June 17, 2008
The first time I played this CD I could not stop listening to it, I just kept playing it over and over. What a talent this girl is!
Listening to Ashton's music you can hear so many influences from Hank Williams to the Outlaw Country of Willie and Waylon to traditional country, yet in the end it can only be defined as Ashton Shepherd's music because there is no one else like her. This is pure country with an attitude, not the "bubble gum country" of Taylor Swift and so many others these days.
Ashton's voice and compositions are simply amazing.
Whatever music you buy this year, make sure that you buy this CD. Be fore warned tho, you won't be able to stop listenting to it.
I can't wait to see Ashton peform in person!
