Ashley Monroe: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
In the last few years, Ashley Monroe has cobbled together an impressive country-music pedigree by working alongside both upstarts (Pistol Annies with Miranda Lambert and Angaleena Presley) and longtime Nashville veterans (Vince Gill produced Monroe's solo album Like a Rose), and even collaborating with Jack White every now and then. Monroe belongs to a remarkable wave of gifted young country-singing women who've surfaced with great records in 2013 - a list that also includes Kacey Musgraves, Holly Williams, Brandy Clark and others - while tapping into the relatable searches and struggles of everyday people.
This three-song set at the Tiny Desk, performed with the aid of guitarist John Shaw, captures a nice cross-section of Monroe's appeal: The title track from Like a Rose tells an optimistic story of survival, the ambivalent ballad "You Got Me" chronicles ill-advised romantic obsession, and, of course, the Top 40 country hit "Weed Instead of Roses" functions as a playful, fun-loving mission statement. Speaking of "Weed Instead of Roses," which closes this charming performance, Monroe says the straitlaced Gill insisted upon the song's inclusion on Like a Rose - even going so far as to declare it a condition of his producing the album. The guy knew what he was talking about, both in his support of the song and of Monroe herself. --STEPHEN THOMPSON

More in her god giving voice than all on radio 🤣😂😂☺️ blessing to her👏🙌💯
If this was on country radio I would listen. I'm a rocker, raised on blues and old country. What happened to music? This girl has it.
so sweet, darling of real country music
How can you not love this ? That twang and tone in the vocal is simply gorgeous, fantastic songs too. The second album is even better...FAB-U-LOUS
John Shaw did an amazing job on guitar as well as adding harmony with Ashley Monroe. He put in just the right amount of lead and fill to the music just below the level of her vocals, great addition to Ashley Monroe's performance.

I don't care for a lot of female country singers, but damn it, I love Ashley Monroe. I first heard her singing "Wake Up Little Susie" with The Raconteurs and Ricky Skaggs. She blew me away then. She's still blowing me away. Much love!

That was an Awesome Video! Loved it!!
She's an angel!
I am so glad you released Weed instead of Roses. It is such a fun and catchy tune and you know what, it may just be true for some. Do not let media critics shape your opinion on this tune, or tunes like this in the future.
gibson makes some of the sweetest sounding acoustics
You Got Me is so good! Love that one 💛
Love this girls sound. So good.

So the Pistol Annies cancelled their 2013 tour :( Too bad, but their performances did introduce me to Ashley. Hippie Annie - God love her!
Ashley Monroe is so good it made me click on something NPR posted. Thats saying something
Fantastico sono due chitarristi meravigliosi che suonano delle canzoni country melodiche con un grande significato musicale che vale la pensa di ascoltarle, in poltrona con un buona birra. Ciao
Amazing voice :3
I'd bring the weed AND the roses...boom.
You Got me! o Yeah
just love little ashley'''just saying '''
This rendition of You Got Me Now could be improved a lot just including a FIDDLE...1 Well, You have my word that sometimes i think stoling this lady and bring HER here to the some hide tropical beach those we have here in Brasil, and keep singing, loving and enjoying the warm of the sun....AHHHHH. She's underrated, but not for me.., not for me

Carlos Arroniz Thank You! There are ways you can say the are "technically different", but like you said.. C'mon! Go to the 3 minute mark and say she didn't have Joplin stuck in her head. To put it Simply go listen to Janis Joplin. She's far better anyway.

Did she write those songs
2019 How much in dollar does her Gibson guitar cost? Anyone? She must be very very rich to afford that. Maybe she is moonlighting as a Doctor/Lawyer/Banker. She has a great voice, though. Any information on this great artist? Thanks!
What the hell.. Does nobody else see that "Like a Rose" is just a few chords shy of copyright infringement of Joplin's "Me and My Bobby McGee"

BigCat Kayla There are likely thousands of songs that are, "just a few chords shy of copyright infringement" of Me and Bobby McGee; nevermind that Bobby McGee has a key change in it as well (Like a Rose does not), if I'm not mistaken. Both of these songs are simple three chord progressions for the most part. With that in mind, there are millions of songs that sound very similar to other songs.

BigCat Kayla It's basically a three chord song, which is pretty hard to copyright. Furthermore the melodies are different enough that there isn't much of a case to be made. FWIW, I think they're both great songs!

***** Yep you're 100% correct. Guy Clark co wrote this, and Kris Kristofferson wrote Me and Bobby McGee so any similarities would be purely accidental. Neither of these acclaimed songwriters would ever rip off the other. At least I can't imagine so. They are both 1,4,5 and old school country. Great tunes.
