Ashley McBryde Talks Wrestling With Outside Voices – And Kicking ‘Ass’ – In ‘The Devil I Know’
Ashley McBryde talks about the story behind her new single "The Devil I Know."

But heard as it’s intended – as a reflection of McBryde’s own rebellious path to self-determination – “The Devil” is more like Hank Williams’ “Mind Your Own Business,” an aural middle finger to the peanut gallery. They referenced Steve Earle’s “Copperhead Road” as the level of power and rawness that they could infuse into “The Devil,” and when they set about the actual recording date at Joyce’s Neon Cross Studio, they were ready for a production that evolves from easy-going to raucous.
