Ashton Shepherd Look It Up Video

A Closer Look At Ashton Shepherd’s Sassy Single. Yesterday we congratulated Ashton Shepherd on the arrival of her second child, and this got me thinking a little bit about all that Ashton has going on right now. Just this summer, July 12th to be exact, she released her second album, Where Country Grows, a follow up to her 2008 album, Sounds So Good. Shepherd currently has two singles circulating off of Where Country Grows, including the title track and her sassy break-up song “Look It Up“. Even just by looking at these two upbeat singles, it is easy to see Ashton’s versatility and talent. While “Where Country Grows” is an optimistic reflection on what it means to be country, “Look It Up” is more of country in action, as it is full of that feisty, strong-willed, do-not-mess-with-me attitude that is the hallmark of country women everywhere. “Where Country Grows” is a beautiful song, but of the two, I have to say “Look It Up” is my favorite. This single manages to demonstrate a positive image of female empowerment while also being funny. “Look It Up” also has a great video to go along with it’s clever lyrics, and I love it! I love it enough, that I decided to share it with you! Now, this video has been out for a little while, so you may have already had a chance to check it out. In case you haven’t though, here it is. If you haven’t seen it already, check out the video for “Look It Up” now! [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1kT4u_D5PA&ob=av2e]

The Band Perrys Hit Singles

A Video History of The Band Perry’s Greatest Hits…So far… As you have no doubt heard by now, The Band Perry sold out their first ever headlining show at the historic Ryman in Nashville in just 20 minutes last Friday (If you hadn’t heard that, click here to read all about it.). To sell out a performance is a really big deal. To sell out a performance in just twenty minutes is an even bigger deal! This got me thinking about The Band Perry, and when they got started in the first place. I’ve always liked this trio because their music is original with well-written lyrics, and they can switch between upbeat, fast tempos to slower, more emotionally raw pieces with surprising ease. The group has only released one album so far (their self-titled debut album released in 2010), but this one album has produced three great radio hits and three great videos to go with them. So, in honor of The Band Perry’s recent success, I suggest we take a trip down video memory lane and take a look at what is making this musical group such a hit with the industry and with fans! “Hip To My Heart” [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cTI0gEZ_gg] “If I Die Young” (certified, double-platinum, exceeds 2 million) [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NJqUN9TClM] “You Lie” (certified Gold, exceeds 500,000 copies) [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCwLsXZnFl4]
