“shot in the dark” by Ashley Cooke, Saturday, July 22, 2023

Ashley Cooke is an up-in-coming country pop singer. Yesterday she released her 24-song debut album shot in the dark. Cooke says the album was “inspired by true love, heartbreak, and the moments between.” A duet with Colbie Caillat, “mean girl,” deals with some honest advice for dealing with a man who doesn’t really love the listener. The title track is a fun song about a hook up at a bar that turns into true love. This Friday in mid-summer, I’m releasing a playlist of songs about hitting the bar. I’m going to keep it mostly positive, focusing on those good times with good friends or meeting someone. Please, listen (and drink) responsibly.
