    Girl Going Nowhere, her unprophetically titled debut, is rife with autobiographical detail, rowdiness and sensitivity.

    It’s a no bullshit record free of frills and fat; 11 songs that make their points powerfully and memorably.

    McBryde's got a big, vibrato-tinged alto, biker-chick style, and she wrote or co-wrote everything here, including "Dahlonega," with a sharp eye for piercing detail. She has a serious gift.

    The forceful sound of Girl Going Nowhere may camouflage the subtleties of her songwriting, but it's also an asset, as the production, along with her powerhouse voice, demand attention.

    It is an album dense with meaning, with excellent, full-throated singing, tempered guitar playing, and an elusive, decorative prettiness.

I love her vocal style and the songs on this album each tell a wonderful story from American Scandal to Livin Next to Leroy. It's got a good feel to listen to, in my own opinion. Expand
