Album Notes

Liquid Words

Singer/songwriter/musician ASHLEY JORDAN proudly releases her second CD, “Liquid Words,” featuring her own unique country/pop/folk-rock style. Her new album, from Juke Village Records, MA, contains fourteen incredible songs: eleven are original songs written by Ashley, one was co-written with her producer, another is a cover (by Lori McKenna), and a final song was written especially for Ashley by the VanPassel brothers of Belgium. With unforgettable vocals, melodies and heartfelt lyrics, Ashley Jordan’s new songs will leave you asking for more. Backed by musicians from Boston to Nashville, this album is a must-hear!

“With the release of her second CD, ”Liquid Words,” singer/songwriter Ashley Jordan has unleashed 14 beautifully crafted songs that are filled with emotion, pain, love, hurt and joy. She pours her heart and soul into every one, with a fresh vocal style that blends country and folk-rock for the next generation. You want to play them over and over again, just to pick up each nuance. Every song is a masterpiece, no fillers here. Amazing for such a young artist!”

- Don Hooper, producer

“When you think of current country music in Massachusetts names like Jo Dee Messina or Ashley Gearing might come to mind, but here’s one more to add to that list – Ashley Jordan. The 19 year old (yes – I said 19!) just completed her second full length CD entitled “Liquid Words”. 12 of the 14 tracks on the disc are penned by her and are in essence her diary set to music - simple songs of love and enjoying life to complex compositions of sadness and heartbreak flow together seamlessly. The production should also be noted – listening you forget she’s a teenager from Bean-Town and imagine more of a veteran singer-songwriter backed by Nashville’s best. Get yourself a copy of Liquid Words now and you too can say you knew Ashley when…”
