Aspen Black – Born To Be A Cowgirl

New Review by Rick Huff " Best of the West Reviews", Aspen Black - Born To Be A Cowgirl

Aspen Black – Born To Be A Cowgirl

For her new album singer/songwriter/author Aspen Black journeyed to the wilds of Nashville. What she found were some fine session folks and, of course, Kerry Grombacher ‘dueted’ on a trio of tracks as well. They have periodically teamed onstage and on-record since 2014. Ms. Black brought her distinctive vocal styling and songwriting acumen to the project, and both are enhanced by the production here. Nicely there seems to be a focus on expression along with the balladeering.
Picks include the title track “Born To Be A Cowgirl,” “Cowboys & Troubadours,” ”Where Cowboys Ride,” “Blue Eyes,” “Rolling Back,” “She Rides.” “Dreams and Lies and Love” and the duet “Hard Work.” Not all the songs are Western, but they don’t have to be! Overall, on both a content and a performance basis, I would name this one as Aspen Black’s best release to date. Ten tracks, highly recommended.
