Kassi Ashton's debut album, "Made From The Dirt", was discussed. The pandemic caused a setback in her career, forcing her to restart from scratch and rediscover her artistic identity.
Everything was big and rolling before COVID and then COVID hurt us all in our own ways, me especially with the momentum and I had to start over.
Yeah, I had to start over from scratch because I basically did nothing for like a year and a half to two years because they didn't want me to do Zoom radio tour because I'm already left of center and Zoom can be difficult anyway.
I just had this like notion one day of why am I making music that I would not wanna play for my favorite artists in the genre? Why would I not wanna run to someone like Chris Stapleton or Brothers Osborne or Sturgill Simpson and go, you've got to listen to this. Why am I not making that? And why am I listening to other people about who I am or chasing trends when I've always been this sort of gritty soulful thing?
