Country music singer-songwriter Ashley Cooke is about to gain many more fans.  Not only is she kicking off Cole Swindell’s “Down To The Bar” Tour this month while still enjoying the success of her release, “Never Til Now” with Brett Young.  But she is also releasing a brand-new song, “Back in the Saddle, available on all streaming platforms.

Since her debut project, ‘Already Drank That Beer’, was released in August 2021, Cooke’s music horizons have broadened as she continues to work and collaborate with the industry’s finest songwriters and producers.  And as she unveils selections from her musical catalogue, the country music masses continue to realize what a bright young star is blossoming before our eyes.

The latest example is “Back in the Saddle”, an anthem for anyone who is having difficulties with the end of a relationship.  Written by Jordan Minton, Josh Kerr, and Jordan Reynolds, the tune provides hope and inspiration through its undeniably relatable lyrics.

“Leaving her memory in an ole dust cloud

You ditching this missing him merry go round

Baby what we say

We been drinking and we ain’t

Tryna ride off into a red sunset

This is just you and me tryna forget

Gettin’ back in the saddle”

Cooke’s vocals shine on this track, effortlessly and seamlessly capturing the emotional vibe necessary for the subject matter.  It is not an easy task to perfectly communicate the passion behind a song written by someone else, but Ashley does so flawlessly from start to finish.

The Belmont University graduate was musically influenced by the likes of Rascal Flatts, Jason Aldean, and Florida Georgia Line, and her own music reflects elements of each of those artists into a diversified sound that is all her own. 

“Back In the Saddle” follows “Getting Into”, an up-tempo sassy fun number that turned a lot of heads in the industry upon its release.  Get used to hearing Ashley Cooke’s name as her star continues to rise in Music City and beyond.
