Watch Ashley McBryde Perform 'The Devil I Know' On 'GMA'

08-08-2024

(EBM) GRAMMY award winner Ashley McBryde performed on ABC's "Good Morning America" this morning, August 7, bringing her No Depression-dubbed "soaring anthem of self-determination" and current single "The Devil I Know" to audiences nationwide.

Chatting about the cover art for her album The Devil I Know, which features five representations of the different facets of McBryde's personality, she shared with Michael Strahan, "The whole process of making this record was that we all have different aspects of ourselves, some that we love to embrace, some that we do not love to embrace. So this whole process has been about not just coming to terms with it, but learning how to fall in love with all those aspects."

The Arkansas native also joined "GMA3: What You Need To Know" with album closer "6th of October," a song written by McBryde with Blue Foley and CJ Field after the passing of one of her longtime collaborators, Randall Clay, with Field bringing in a song he'd started with Clay. The track has since become a celebration of self-compassion among her fans, with Billboard sharing "acceptance and self-assuredness flows particularly on album closer '6th of October,'" while Arkansas Democrat-Gazette calls it "bittersweet, John Prine-ish." Watch her interview and performance here.

Named one of the best country albums of the year by Rolling Stone, Billboard, Slate, Paste, Holler and more, the cover art for The Devil I Know represents different parts of McBryde's personality: Joan of Arkansas, the Golden Gal, Girl in Red, Blackout Betty and Ashley Damn McBryde. To celebrate each one, McBryde compiled playlists of her songs from each persona, with the full collection titled Meet the Family.

McBryde recently wrapped The Devil I Know Tour Presented by Ariat and will perform headlining dates across the U.S. through the summer before joining Cody Johnson on The Leather Tour this fall. For additional dates and tickets, visit AshleyMcBryde.com.
