There are good songs and there are great songs and then there are songs you find yourself singing or humming weeks after you first heard them. Those are the kinds of songs Ashley Chambliss produces. 

She is one of those amazing piano-playing singer-songwriters that you hook you right from the start. I have so enjoyed her previous CDs Nakedsongs and In This Ocean that to this day I still hum them to myself from time to time.

When I first heard that Tupelo came out, I was very excited.  And after listening to it several times, I am carried away by her thoughtful, melodic, and ambient storytelling. 

Tupelo is much more laid-back than her first two but it still tells the stories of what she's been through over the past few years with strong vivid imagery. The mood is unmistakably thoughtful and reflective which inevitably allows us to become more thoughtful and reflective about our own lives.

Get Tupelo and all her previous CDs and sit back and enjoy the writing, singing, and playing of one talented lady.
