Kassi Ashton is set to release her highly anticipated debut album, Made From The Dirt, on September 20 via MCA Nashville. To mark the announcement, Ashton has unveiled a new track from the project, titled "Son Of A Gun."
"Son Of A Gun": The Final Piece of the Puzzle
"This was the last song I wrote for the album," Ashton explains. "I wrote it with Jason Nix and Driver Williams, who plays guitar with Eric Church.
It was the first time writing with Jason, and he warmed my heart because he had done so much research: he had stalked me on Instagram and gotten as much of a taste of who I am as he could without ever meeting me.
His idea was like, ‘daughter of a gun,’ and I was like, I’d rather be called son of a gun — I always say I’m Daddy’s little boy anyway."
Building Momentum with Hit Singles
Ashton kicked off the year with the fan favorite "Called Crazy," which is currently climbing the top 40 at country radio.
Last month, she teased more of Made From The Dirt with the release of "I Don’t Wanna Dance." These tracks, along with the rest of the album, showcase Ashton's unique signature style and tell her personal story.
From the title track "Made From The Dirt" to the reflective finale "Juanita," Ashton delivers a blend of country with a rock spirit and raw vulnerability, wearing her heart on her sleeve throughout the 10-song collection.
Upcoming Tour with Jamey Johnson
In addition to the album release, Ashton will join Jamey Johnson on his "What A View Tour" this month, further building anticipation for her debut album.
Kassi Ashton's Made From The Dirt is set to make a significant impact on the country music scene.
With the release of "Son Of A Gun" and the momentum from her previous singles, Ashton is poised to capture the hearts of fans with her authentic storytelling and distinctive sound.
Be sure to mark your calendars for September 20 and catch her on tour with Jamey Johnson.
