Ashley Monroe: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- In the last few years, Ashley Monroe has cobbled together an impressive country-music pedigree by working alongside both upstarts (Pistol Annies with Miranda Lambert and Angaleena Presley) and longtime Nashville veterans (Vince Gill produced Monroe's solo album Like a Rose), and even collaborating with Jack White every now and then. Monroe belongs to a remarkable wave of gifted young country-singing women who've surfaced with great records in 2013 - a list that also includes Kacey Musgraves, Holly Williams, Brandy Clark and others - while tapping into the relatable searches and struggles of everyday people.
This three-song set at the Tiny Desk, performed with the aid of guitarist John Shaw, captures a nice cross-section of Monroe's appeal: The title track from Like a Rose tells an optimistic story of survival, the ambivalent ballad "You Got Me" chronicles ill-advised romantic obsession, and, of course, the Top 40 country hit "Weed Instead of Roses" functions as a playful, fun-loving mission statement. Speaking of "Weed Instead of Roses," which closes this charming performance, Monroe says the straitlaced Gill insisted upon the song's inclusion on Like a Rose - even going so far as to declare it a condition of his producing the album. The guy knew what he was talking about, both in his support of the song and of Monroe herself. --STEPHEN THOMPSON

If this was on country radio I would listen. I'm a rocker, raised on blues and old country. What happened to music? This girl has it.
John Shaw did an amazing job on guitar as well as adding harmony with Ashley Monroe. He put in just the right amount of lead and fill to the music just below the level of her vocals, great addition to Ashley Monroe's performance.
Absolutely agree !!!
More in her god giving voice than all on radio 🤣😂😂☺️ blessing to her👏🙌💯
How can you not love this ? That twang and tone in the vocal is simply gorgeous, fantastic songs too. The second album is even better...FAB-U-LOUS
a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice
so sweet, darling of real country music
That's perfect musical chemistry right there. They compliment each other perfectly.
Go,Ashley! Well done,sweet voice.
Great performance Ashley and co...your so unique and perfect..love these songs your lyrics are superior ♥️♥️♥️♥️💯
I don't care for a lot of female country singers, but damn it, I love Ashley Monroe. I first heard her singing "Wake Up Little Susie" with The Raconteurs and Ricky Skaggs. She blew me away then. She's still blowing me away. Much love!
That was an Awesome Video! Loved it!!
Love the harmonising...bring it on !
She has such an angelic voice!
I am so glad you released Weed instead of Roses. It is such a fun and catchy tune and you know what, it may just be true for some. Do not let media critics shape your opinion on this tune, or tunes like this in the future.
she is amazing!
gibson makes some of the sweetest sounding acoustics
You know I LOVE and adore Ashley Monroe!!!!
She ,and Margo Price, as well as a few others, should be Grammy Nominees,instead of what we get in Country!!
Love this girls sound. So good.
Clear as a bell well done, ,all the best to you.
She's an angel!
Love you're voice Ash such a good album

You Got me! o Yeah
Fantastico sono due chitarristi meravigliosi che suonano delle canzoni country melodiche con un grande significato musicale che vale la pensa di ascoltarle, in poltrona con un buona birra. Ciao
I'd bring the weed AND the roses...boom.
Very inspirational thank you
This rendition of You Got Me Now could be improved a lot just including a FIDDLE...1 Well, You have my word that sometimes i think stoling this lady and bring HER here to the some hide tropical beach those we have here in Brasil, and keep singing, loving and enjoying the warm of the sun....AHHHHH. She's underrated, but not for me.., not for me
Amazing voice :3
I could listen to Ashley sing the damn phone book (if there is such a thing these days)...
lol
Shades of Iris Dement.
John Washington Slight shades. I like Ashley don’t get me wrong BUT IRIS DEMENT is quite sui generis And is truly one of our GREAT ARTISTS!
È una canzone che a me piace molto, ascoltarla in poltrona con gli amici. Ciao
Did she write those songs
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad Edward Snowden found a job as a musician.
Charlie P
Nice.
is she related to bill monroe?
HAHAH SO ORIGINAL!
c´mon ! the first song is a slower obvious copy of Bobby Mc Gee from Janis Joplin !!
Different time signature. Not a copy at all.
And it's not Janis Joplin…..try Kris Kristofferson.
Carlos Arroniz
Thank You! There are ways you can say the are "technically different", but like you said.. C'mon! Go to the 3 minute mark and say she didn't have Joplin stuck in her head.
To put it Simply go listen to Janis Joplin. She's far better anyway.
I'm six years too late, but I gave thumbs up. Got your back bro
Questa canzone è molto armoniosa, da ascoltare in poltrona.
Sounds little like Dolly(?)
Thom Hermance Little bit.
Ok
2019
How much in dollar does her Gibson guitar cost? Anyone?
She must be very very rich to afford that. Maybe she is
moonlighting as a Doctor/Lawyer/Banker.
She has a great voice, though.
Any information on this great artist?
Thanks!
What the hell.. Does nobody else see that "Like a Rose" is just a few chords shy of copyright infringement of Joplin's "Me and My Bobby McGee"
BigCat Kayla I see the similarities
BigCat Kayla There are likely thousands of songs that are, "just a few chords shy of copyright infringement" of Me and Bobby McGee; nevermind that Bobby McGee has a key change in it as well (Like a Rose does not), if I'm not mistaken.
Both of these songs are simple three chord progressions for the most part. With that in mind, there are millions of songs that sound very similar to other songs.
BigCat Kayla It's basically a three chord song, which is pretty hard to copyright. Furthermore the melodies are different enough that there isn't much of a case to be made. FWIW, I think they're both great songs!
***** Yep you're 100% correct. Guy Clark co wrote this, and Kris Kristofferson wrote Me and Bobby McGee so any similarities would be purely accidental. Neither of these acclaimed songwriters would ever rip off the other. At least I can't imagine so. They are both 1,4,5 and old school country. Great tunes.
darling they ain't but so many combinations a person can do.
I keep waiting for the Bobby McGee part. Oh well.
It's right at the end of the first song.
c'est beaucoup mieux que Maryline Monroe
Clear as a bell well done, ,all the best to you.
